Re: Seagal's technique...is it his size?

Sokaku Takeda (Ueshiba's teacher) always said that women and children could do Daito-ryu. Ueshiba's aikido was based on Daito-ryu, and he regularly "trashed" big, burly men much larger than he, when they weren't cooperatiing, even when he was a frail, elderly man. Why do you suppose that was?
