NYC: Disturbing video shows a black teen slamming a girl to the ground and stomping on her head

West, you are comparing apples and oranges. Karate is a system of lateral blocks, punches and chops, shodokan aikido is totally different and involves locks, traps, and a redirection of force.

Karate gives a girl an inherent disadvantage against a bigger guy, whereas aikido actually favors a smaller, lighter person.
A good friend of mine is a black belt in Aikido. He and I used to spar quite a bit. He was never a challenge till he got in to BJJ. Then he regularly kicked my ass.

Maybe your friend just had a sucky aikido teacher--- I don't see how one can suck at that yet excel at BJJ.
 
The guys aren't going full speed, or full power.

It is a guy and a girl. And they are deliberately slowing the video repeating it at slower speeds so you can see what they are doing.
