Hi, I have recently started Aikido, and am also planning to start Muay Thai in a couple weeks (when i’m back to full fitness)
I am finding that Aikido could be very effective, but takes a ridiculous amount of time to learn. Apart from anyone above brown belt, or anyone good at another style i wouldn’t feel confident that they could defend themselves in a real situation.

Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy Aikido, but i am begining to think that it might be a martial art to come back to after training in something more aggressive, such as Muay Thai?
Please give me any advice, it would be appreciated
