Interesting Video Looking at Similarities Between MMA and Traditional Martial Arts (Aikido)

Found a video essentially translating Aikido concepts into the closest MMA equivalent. A few of the points reminded me of Taijiquan, such as the section of Tegetana, which starts at 10:48 and looks like Peng in some of the examples in the video. I will say that it seems like the Aikido guy was prompting the MMA guy with the Aikido concepts, as in he threw out a general idea and the MMA guy did the heavy lifting by filling in the blanks.
