...and welcome to the Aikiweb Forums Long talk our specialty!

If you search around the threads at all, you will see that this question has been asked and answered several times -- including one that is running concurrent to yours.

My feeling is -- if Aikido were NOT effective for anyone, no-one would study it. It may not be effective for you, it may not fit your definition of "practical in a real fight." That is up to you to discover -- either by trying it, or perhaps just deciding never to try it.
