Aikido is basically a defensive art. The problem with it is that it lacks realistic combat situations when training the movies. In other words, they look good choreographed, or in specific rehearsed situations, but don't always work effectively under different kinds of combat situations. A strong wrestler or JuJitsu guy would give any Aikido guy a real hard time.
