If you learn Atemi (strikes, kicks, etc), then it should be at least an ok school.
Pro Tip: People in Aikido yield to the grappling, because if you don't, it's *snap crackle pop" time. Aikido is actually pretty rough if done right, rougher than boxing and wrestling, en par with the meaner moves in Catch as Catch Can or Bare Knuckle Boxing (which btw were real Combat Arts, not the watered down modern stuff where you can only PRAY that the opponent doesn't have stopping power).
Also, I laugh at all the MMA nutriders. Gb2 rolling on the floor with other burly man you faggots. The last MMA guy I insulted didn't even show up for the challenge (and I even cut my hair for that match - shitsucks).
Myself, I'm doing Taijiquan. I came for the health benefits after years of Full COntact Karate and stayed for the effortlessness of beating up and throwing around bullies. Which actually IS a lot of fun.
Anyway - Aikido works. If yours doesn't work, look for another school. Easy as that.
Of course, Boxing, Wrestling, MMA etc. are much easier to learn, so if you only have a few months for THE GREAT FIGHT... you should go for boxing and wrestling. If you have the option for old school European stuff, rather do that than the modern stuff. Catch as Catch Can, for example, is really fun, though you probably will get hurt if you're a beginner and overdo it. Hurt A LOT.
