Re: Aikido for bodyguards

A question of my own:
I think the techniques practiced in Aikido (locks and such) are great for body guarding (particularly given the legal problems striking arts often get).

But I am not so sure about the blending and moving, which is intended to move one self out of the line of attack. How would you deal with attacks that are aimed at another from the start?

Would that not make irimi much easier?
