No, I started with Ikeda´s system my aikido journey and I was training it for many years. I´m not offensive with my comments, but his principles work only on aikidokas. It´s only aikido for aikido. But of course, his system gave me great basics, thanks for that. But lots of his principals are not usable in reality. And then aikido loses his reputation of very effective martial art.

I love aikido, but I got fed up with aikidokas who say: OK, I´ll show you what aikido is. Catch my hand. Oh no, you can´t hold it like this. Or: You don´t want to fall... Aikido is a wonderful martial art with great principles and intentions and spiritual background. And it has to work anytime. It´s sad how some people try to make it something rather philosopical and utopistic. They got far away from reality how it all began.

doesn´t know aikido. You will have to punch him or kick him. But no real aikido techniques. And punching and kicking is not too gentle way of self-defence, is it? Second - his principles don´t work with firearms. Kotegaeshi with a knife may work, if he starts to hit. But with a firearm, no way. And it should work. It has to work. His methods don´t take only a simple hold as an attack. You have to give some energy. But in reality most of holds are motionless. Sorry for that.
