First, watch the first three Steven Seagal movies he made. There's one scene in a small store that shows you how devastating akido can be.
Yes, in my 35 yrs. plus, I've taken akido and aki-jitsu and found that akido is very helpful in overcoming larger opponents by using their energy against them. Once again I caution as it does require a bit of room and Seagal does show this in his moves also. Never the less, if you have an opportunity you're in for a real eye opener in the way of akido.
