I want to start a martial art and my top to choses are now brazilian jiu jitsu or aikido. Please help me

Hi,
I have studied both Karate and aikido, gaining high grades in both but I have to say aikido is a very slow martial arts which lacks power but focuses on throwing the attacker off balance, which varies between size, shape, height, etc.

Personaly I would choose Karate, particularly Kyokushin and maybe mixed with Kendo (NOT kempo) or if you want a quicker route I can send you a preview of a book I have made for a MMA group which I have developed,

Hope this helps
