Judo/Yudo

[The Juggernoob]

No one ever told me. Why do some people spell Judo as Yudo?

[Vorpal]

Yudo is South Korean Judo.

[The Juggernoob]

But Judo is Judo is it not?
How is it any different?

Koreans aren't big on the Japanese, given the hundreds of years of cultural and literal rape they've experienced from them. If it's a japanese art practised in korea, expect its name to be changed, if they don't claim it's an entirely different art all together. The name is based on some difference between the japanese and korean language I don't understand. For example, kendo is called kumdo in korea

Ahhh, this explains a lot. Im taking up mexican Judo then, its spelt Judo, but pronounced Hudo.

^^^ correct. There a a handfull of guys on this site that are amazingly knowledgable about this kind of stuff but it's just judo, in Korea, where the call it Yudo. That's really all there is to it. Move on.

[Lindz]

Unless it's not in Korea, then it's probably bullshido.

[Vorpal]

^^^ also correct.

Hapkido.

[Matt Phillips]

Yudo is not Judo. Yudo is the S Korean version of Kano JuJutsu. Judo is an Olympic sport, and the S Korean national team spells it J-U-D-O.

[Rene "Zendokan" Gysenbergs]

Thanks for correction.
So is it similar to aikido?

Hapkido comes (probably) from Daito-Ryu Aiki-Ju Jutsu, depending from school it can look like from Daito-Ryu AJJ upto Taekwondo with some wristlock throws, but most systems resemble Aikido with Taekwondo kicking.

Hankido looks more like Aikido since it's a blend between Hapkido and Aikido.

Yudo started out as another name for Judo, but overtime the quality went down. That's why there's nowadays a distinction between Yudo and Judo.
