Hey bro,
I took some Yoshinkan style aikido.
first let me tell you a little about aikido,
it is considered a non aggressive martial art, it has no kicks or punches, instead you flow with your apponent and use many types of joint manipulations and levarges to painfully submit him.
If you want a martial art that will teach you how to scrap, I would personally not reccomend aikido , and rather boxing or wrestling,
but aikido is a beautiful art and with hard work, a good teacher, lots of practice you can learn lots of useful skills and make it work for you.
If you want a harder style type of aikido, take aiki-jutsu, it is a much more aggresive and combative style, and better for self defense
what I learned from aikido some good stances, how to flow with the opponent, and some really effective and cool joint manipulations
good luck bro!
