Make no mistake, Aikido IS effective for self defense. Those who stated in their posts that Aikido is not effective have (1) no experience, or (2) very little experience with Aikido. All you have to do is read about others experiences using Aikido for self defense elsewhere on this web page, or read the responses to those posts.

Well said.

TKD or Kung Fu since they're more aerobic than Aikido.
Huh? My experience in aikido has been aerobic as h***. Your training can focus anywhere you want it to. Combat, conditioning, spirituality or all of the above.
