Theoretically, yes, if you've completely mastered the art. In practice, I'd consider running, especially where the machete is concerned. If you can't run, pick up a chair or something and heave. I've been doing Kali for 12 years, but when I heard of a machete-weilding nut job on the Ithaca commons, I realized at the time I may have crapped in my pants! Don't be a hero.
Remember also that "no sword" techniques, which encompases disarms, were consiered the highest level of skill. If you're not there, you risk getting yourself killed. Just food for thought.

Don't worry,I haven't been practicing aikido long enough to even think of using it in a real fight.
I actually don't even get in fights,I'm a peacefull person. Really :P.
But I'm just asking this question because sometimes I practice with other aikidokas outside the dojo and we always try to mix up our training as much as possible.
By the way.Great idea for the folding chairs :P I'm gonna try that.
