I have always studied and practiced martial art from a pro active stature.
This can come in many forms from attacking first, to aggrivating and taunting your opponent int attacking you first, but once the senses start processing that ones life is threatened, theteis nothing passive or of a waiting nature about it.
One may also think aikido does not involve kicks, and I will admit I can't kick for beans, but I use them as part of my atemi/striking when I can.
The beauty of a complete style of MA is, IMHO, there is so much to learn that it is impossible to know it all, or achieve complete mastery.
This is just based on my own understanding and training in the martial arts, the most of which has been aikido.
