Sure, it can. Lyoto'll give you a shot, too. Ask Mr. Natural.

Maybe I'd be your grasshopper!

I'll give you a free lesson. Aikido is worthless unless your opponent attacks, Grasshopper. .

I have always studied and practiced martial art from a pro active stature.

This can come in many forms from attacking first, to aggrivating and taunting your opponent into attacking you first (inviting an attack so to speak, or appearing weak or like an easy target), but once the senses start processing that ones life is threatened, there is nothing passive or of a waiting nature about it.

One may also think aikido does not involve kicks, and I will admit I can't kick for beans, but I use them as part of my atemi/striking when I can.

The beauty of a complete style of MA is, IMHO, there is so much to learn that it is impossible to know it all, or achieve complete mastery.

This is just based on my own understanding and training in the martial arts, the most of which has been aikido.

OK, I give up-on the condition that you watch Napolean Dynamite up until the part where Napolean pulls his brother home from Rex Kwon Do's introductory lesson.

Over the past several years I have been training in Krav Maga, Very functional and reality based.
The First guys I trained with in Krav were of a mind set that got me sold on it, "the only unfair fight is the one that you lose". Great mind set to have in a fight.

In a fair fight, the younger, stronger, more athletic guy will usually win.
Because of this, you will never find an old experienced guy in a fair fight.

If he's in one, it's unfair -- to his advantage -- and he knows it.
