Personally I can't stand aikidoist.
My arguement is that since someone who wrestles is a wrestl
er, someone who boxes is a box
er and someone fences is a fenc
er then someone who practices aikido should be an aikido
er. That of course is close enough to the Japanese convention as to make it worth keeping aikido
ka as the term for a practitioner and giving the nod to tradition.
