@ryjisa I just want to add that although the ideal is to be able to manipulate the attacker without using your own strength, being strong does give you an undeinable edge, even in Aikido.

@JarJarAssault For the energy part : In most of the japanese martial arts energy come from the center of your body and flow to all of you're body part. Even when you're not moving energy, from all over your body still flow in your arms,chest and legs...So by chaneling energy when you are relaxed you can go around the strenght of your attacker. Anyway, that's my way of understanding. Hope it helped out =)
