From what I know, Aikido and JJJ are Japanese, and Harpiko is Korean. I don't know much about Harpiko but Aikido was derived from JJJ and it is a soft martial art, compromising of throws and joint locks, where the attacker would not be harmed whereas JJJ is a more violent martial art which comes from the Japanese samurai battlefields, since normal striking would be ineffective against armour, JJJ uses throws and strikes to the joints of armous (which tend to be revealed) such as throat stabs and whatnot.
