The hardest part about Aikido in my experiences is finding an instructor who is open to discussion. Most are older Japanese men who are stuck in their ways and do things "the way they've always been". It is a good art, and I use the joint locks in my Escrima sometimes during weapons removal. The footwork is pretty good, and overall the system is a decent base. Too indirect to be used as a stand alone system, but it can be a powerfull weapon in your arsenal. You could use Aikido to get your opponent on the ground, and use BJJ to finish him.
