Some thoughts on Aikido in street defense. Most of the intitial defense strategies in Aikido involve gross motor function. In a bad situation, fine motor control is one of the first things to go if you havent repeated the movement thousands of times. If you dont plan to practice often, Aikido can be a good way to enhance your natural "flinch" responses. Having said all that, Krav Maga is an excellent fighting system for any situation provided it is taught by someone who really knows what theyre doing.
