No, i'm saying that aikido should be done in the aikido dojo and improve in the improv dojo.
That's like saying sex is only allowed in the bedroom and talking is only allowed in the kitchen ;-)

Out of respect for my taining partners, I try to keep the two seperate. In reality, when we do our contact reflex drills, aikido turns into judo and back again before I can even stop to chastize myself. (eg: Virtually every wild haymaker thrown at me turns into a ogoshi rather than an irimi nage. Old habits die hard)

I agree that during aikido practice, you should do aikido. But during randori, whatever happens is whatever happens.
