Ok, I have a stupid problem. I have taken taekwondo and judo for quite some time now, so i think it's a good time to add another style. However, I can choose between Jeet Kune Do and Aikido, which one is the best complement to what i already know.
Dude, go for Jeet Kune Do. Aikido is fun for joint manipulation...but you can also take up JKD and learn Bruce Lee's style

Nekralt Avaane had this to say about John Romero:
Kamasutra! Wait...that isn't a fighting technique.
I know... I have it. 
But of the choices, I'd have to say "I dunno, but Aikido sounds more fitting from what little MA knowledge I have."
Jeet Kun Do: Bruce Lee's personal composite of many, many martial arts (I know Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and "Kung Fu" are all incorperated, I think a few others are aswell). Other than that I don't know too much about it.
(Though I'm probably the only one here who has actually seen The Original Kings of Comedy )
Bruce Lee's personal style... or akaido?

Fazum'Zen Fastfist painfully thought these words up:
Hehe, Jeet Kune Do isn't attacking first, for the most part
Really? Hmmmmmm... I'll have to consider it. Classes don't start until Sunday anyways.
Aikido- throwing technique, goes very close with Aido, the art of drawing the blade, its hmmm, very wide circle based, you need room
Jeet Kune Do- Brainchild of Bruce Lee, who'se first taught art was Wing Chun Kung Fu (the style I learn), and carries a lot from there, WC itself is EXCEPTIONALLY efficient, and Bruce lee worked to make it moreso, however the base teaching of JKD, to have no real form, has been bastardized, so that JKD is distinctive, and its taken a lot of wide circle movements from the other styles he took from in making JKD
if a choice between the two, I would suggest JKD, it'll open up different approaches to disabling your opponent, and on whole a much more broad philosophy (if the teacher is good)
my ultimate suggestion, is to find a Kung Fu instructor, be it Shaolin Five Animal, or any style, Wing Chun I would highly suggest, but any Kung Fu, will open you up conceptually than a lot of other schools
