Aikido is not very old, and the "proven" part is certainly a matter of some debate.
Lousy will of course depend a lot on the person training, but the point is that it is my (and many others) opinion that for the standup skills you may be looking for there are other options that are more direct and verifiably effective choices.
But again, if you just want to because you want to, then that's up to you. Couldn't hurt, I suppose.
