If you trained kata you'd come out on top. I believe that because I've been in nearly a dozen situations where something happens (not necessarily confrontations--someone falls toward you type stuff) where I reacted with reflex because the energy was Aikido-like.

Those reactions were totally before I even realized what was happening. If you train kata, then you'd of recognized the energy going back before thinking about it (exactly that happened to me only like six months into my training--before I'd of even thought that I had reflex).
