The key to effective, "pragmatic" Aikido is not doing it harder. Rather, the key is to focus on learning to move "from the ground". If you can effectively transfer energy from the ground, through your legs and hips, through your arms and hands and into uke, then your Aikido will be powerful no matter how "hard" you do it.

If you're working too hard, you're doing it wrong.
