No-Touch Aikido

The idea behind “no-touch aikido” is that some martial artists develop their internal energies (or “ki”) so powerfully that instead of just projecting it through their body, they can send it into other people, throwing or disorienting them without ever making physical contact. Usually, it seems to be a case where very experienced people demonstrate it on other very experienced people in order to demonstrate or work on some kind of very subtle point about balance and perception.

But you? You can actually knock people around without touching them by making very precise aikido gestures. If you don’t have another Aikido Identity… why, exactly, is that? Did you forget? Are you just so old that you can’t do aikido with grabs any more?

This is Specific Harm, and the condition is that it only works on someone
who’s attacking you hand to hand or with a striking weapon.

I have No-Touch Aikido, of course I can knock someone down who is attacking hand-to-hand or with a striking weapon.
