Firstly a definition:

Now....
"More room" yes...Improvisation no,imagine you just been lifted. In abd you wouldn't worry at all,in fact you would kick the opponent while you're up there(Admiring the stars) while "winning". In normal aikido though,you would stress balls and be forced to improvise.You would have to - create spontaneously and without preparation. The art of aikido is basically the ability to use an opponents movements against him.So you'd have to take into consideration gravity,momentum,position and prediction and execute a movement which counters that of your opponent. Therefor you would need a lot more skill and control.
Just to clarify,on a higher lever aikido is NOT easy. Try facing kristis133 or Fear a few times and then tell me it's "easy".
All-in-all,abd is for whimps who can't do shit in normal aikido and bitch about the space and inability to win on points(Which btw is false). Trust me,I've been here for a while...
Also,when I do play abd - 90% of the time I win via dq'ing my opponent on the ground..This is clear proof that the people who play abd only want to do damage and don't have the skills to "survive" and/or "overpower".
