In Aikido your technique is as limited as your attitude. I, for one, have used aikido in self defense and I am still here to tell you that it works. But the right frame of mind helps. I have used it, for real, in Viet Nam and when I was a deputy sheriff---more than once. Keep a positive attitude and train as if your life depended on it. Aikido will work for you if you stay focused.
