Different people will answer as they see their own Aikido, obviously.

For my part, my Aikdo is (terrible but) pacifist, in that I will always use 'less' violence.

I do not consider conflict situations as opportunities for violence.

However, if my 'opponent' thinks that I am a pacifist and seeks to utilise that against me, tough luck on him.
