This is a view point that you come across from time to time. Some people don't see the effectiveness of Aikido- and Wing Chung for some reason? To me it comes from the person not really understanding the art and if they have tried Aikido have not gone in with an open mind and not been able to perform proper technique.
I could not use Silat against anyone- have tried some techniques and drills. That's not to say it's not effective, only that I can not apply it effectively.
I use Aikido in the real world and it works.
Advice- Make sure that what you do in the dojo is a directly applicable to the street. As you move through your training you will find that application outside the dojo will show itself and you will not have to worry anymore.

TRAIN HARD AND OFTEN
