Naw holmes, I can completely write off aikido. Its very foundation is a conundrum that assumes that power can be asserted without exerting said power. It was developed by scrawny weak wannabes who trick themselves into imagining they could beat up somebody who has any semblance of athleticism.
Its breadth of usefulness is in the idea "don't stand where punch will be", but its methods for attempting that are completely unrealistic and unusable. It's basically for people who failed physics and think they can cast the teleport spell
Seagal would be "above wugy level" if he was much thinner while maintaining strength and knew anything about clinching. But he knows nothing about clinching, is fat, slow, and weak, and thus any varsity level wrestler could shit in his mouth on command
