Im taking up Judo over Aikido; any reason for me to take up Aikido instead?

Understand that Judo is a sport version of jujitsu. Aikido is also a version of Jujitsu. Basically Jujitsu started all of the various arts: Aikido, Judo, Ninjitsu, etc... So, in essence the "style" is different, but you will see some common themes or techniques in each that are similar to one another. I have taken Judo, Jujitsu, and Aikido. For me, I rank Jujitsu first, Aikido second, and Judo third. Just my opinion based on what I need it for, my body shape, and age/strength.
