I don't know aikido or any martial art -- but I live next door to an aikido dojo, and I often talk to the staff and volunteers as they're cleaning up around the yard or working on the fence and hedge that divides our properties. Aikido is a softer martial art that juijitsu; both arts work by using the opponent's own strength and speed against him; but in you that force to escape or to immobilize him, whereas in juijitsu, you use it do do damage. If you're just talking about practical self-defense, aikido is more than good enough.
