-Ever-

I've been doing some research here and there to hopefully spark my desire to take some self defense classes. I've always heard great things about JuJitsu but I can't find any local places that teach it around here (San Diego). I recently found a really nice looking Aikido dojo (is that a correct useage?) and have been doing some reading about the art. I've found many explanations of it and it's useage from searching this forum and various websites. I just have one pretty simple question though: Will Aikido be as good for everyday self-defense as I hear JuJitsu is? I love that they both work off of the opponent's energy and I'm just having trouble finding the main difference between the two.

Thanks for any advice and information guys.
