Yes they are.When someone pushes you the normal reaction isn't to do a nice somersault. Seagal is BS

Having been on the receiving end of demos like these, no, they aren't.
They're doing a form that's a smidge less brutal than the one I practice, and it's a demo, so it's supposed to look nice too, but the principle remains:
You can go down with a pretty roll, or you can go down with a broken wrist/arm, your choice.
People who have never practices Aikido confuse it for dancing...
The "normal reaction" of falling awkwardly and getting hurt makes for a very short demo.
I'd still like to see a UFC fight between a master and a brawler. Then I'd be convinced.
grab round waist, pin, punch till pulp.
