The problem with Aikido is that it was originally intended as a secondary means of defense against other guys with samurai swords. A long blade, especially a twohanded one, moves differently and does not change directions as fast as an empty hand or a hand holding a short blade. A good aikido-man (but a dogmatic one) has e better chance of defending against somebody with a base-ball bat than against a tactical folder.

Actually, Aikido was developed very recently (i.e. in the 20th century). You are referring to Ju-Jitsu.
