I doesn't matter what style your talking about. At the core there all the same. But because of body size and height, and even strength, people will tailor make the art for them self. A good example is Seagal, he has a very upright style of Aikido. A shorter person that was not as powerful as he is, could not be as effective in Seagal's upright style of Aikido. When your 6'5 you change the art alittle, so it still works well. There is no possible wasy that O'sensei and Seagal could execute techniques exactly the same. And the biggest difference would be body size.
