Cool, cheers. I have very little experience of aikido, and my judo is very rusty but what I do remember is you threw and pivoted back and forth to both sides quickly (sorry not that I'm saying Judo tells me about Aikido, it's just that's the vast majority of my grapple, hold and throwing experience!)

I guess my more recent experience of boxing is colouring my perception here, and I guess compared to some MA boxing has a relatively square on stance.
