Actually, one highly ranked instructor in Yoshinkan Aikido (Mits Yamashita, 5th Dan) who is also a blue or purple belt in BJJ commented that BJJ is "Aikido on the ground". He also commented that Aikido and BJJ have the same principles. So I suppose either he doesn't know what he's talking about...or Aikido guys muscle their victims into kote-gaeshi or nikkyo.
