    You could use the earlier, more aggressive and brutal, style of 
aikijutsu, which was around long, long before Ueshiba transformed it into 
aikido.
    At the risk of sounding like I'm plugging my own work (which I guess I am 
:) ), THE ULTIMATE MARTIAL ARTIST from Hero Games has detailed information 
about dozens of martial arts styles, including historical information which 
you could use to place the art in a DL context if you so desired.
