Aikido was originally an extension of Judo, designed for old judoka who didn't have the strength/quickness/endurance to compete anymore, but had already mastered the techniques.

Aikido as a stand alone art is truely a terrible joke.

Aikido needs some real competition in the sport to build a real athlete base that represents it.
