Have someone in your school actually come at you, not in a damn overhead karate chop and see how good your aikido is.
The only good thing I got of of Aikido is that I can do mean ass forward roll, either than that, it's useless in the real world.

I have been studying Aikido for many years. I am fortunate to have an 8th dan instructor, one of the highest ranked in the world. One of the important things to realise is that Aikido takes many many years to become competent at.
It is very effective because you are using the attackers momentum against them. The more force they direct the more effective your counter is. While they are expending energy, you are not.
I wouldn't recommend limiting yourself to one style. That is why Aikido is only one of the many Martial Arts I have trained in.
