Sadly, no. I really do need some serious heavybag work; my striking power sucks right now from these last three months without any Karate. However, I need to hit the weights first.
I think Shihonage has a point. Given a decent chance, how many people who’d been subjected to Seagals acting wouldn’t want to ram their fist into his face?
The whole point of aikido is to avoid actually getting hit, ergo, expecting an aikidoka to have someone actually trying to hit them (even in a demo) is like expecting Michael Jackson to have a girl in his bedroom.

If you would take boxing, it would prove a theory that I have. karate is not that bad for example if they (we) would just add boxing. Judo is great also especially if the ground game is extended but only becuase of MMA competion not becuase of the average street fight. Boxing, Karate, and Judo is a pretty good mix and you are almost there.

Ronin followed that path (as best I know), and his punching is fucking scary. I may look into it myself.
