No offence, but my opinion is that all these stories of 80 year old guys taking out others with little effort is merely another example of mysterious martial arts mess.
No offence intended, but MA's are inundated with these types of tales.
As far as I am aware, neither Aikido nor an 80 year old from any art has made much of an impression in MMA competition. Aikido theories sound wonderfu, but in practice they have to grab your wrist first. That is pretty difficult to do when you are shooting in for a takedown..........
