If you want something truly martial then go with Hapkido. Aikido has good concepts, but is more of a philosophy than a martial art.

In terms of where they came from: Hapkido is a brother to Aikijiujitsu. Aikijiujitsu is a parent art of Aikido.

Both are good, but for you I'd recommend Hapkido. Look into Aikijiujitsu (Japanese Jiujitsu) as well. Might want to take a look at Systema as well. Perhaps Filipino Martial Arts (Kali/Escrima/Arnis) too.

Check out this post on how to choose a martial art. It has some recommendations and descriptions: http://martial.jessecrouch.com/2009/03/what-martial-art-should-i-study-how-to_5882.html
 
i want to do a new martial art instead of karate cuz karate sucked. i want a martial art with throws, joint locks, grappling, and i don't really care about striking, but if it has it, its ok. which one is better/do you recommend? are there any other martial arts you think are good?
