Different all together. If we added strikes as well the I do think I would have made it more difficult but still I think I would be beaten by the higher grades, the Aikido guys, honestly I think that I would have defeated them.

the founder of aikido have studied many martial arts and have refined different elements of them into aikido.
the only "downside" is that aikido is a defensive martial art.
attacks are studied, but at a later stage.
