Both styles are good, they came from one root and with similar objective, to defend oneself or others from physical threat.
Better visit them and observe, ask necessary questions that can accommodate your concern.
Good luck
this is going to be true for any martial art… Its effectiveness first depends on your instructor and what you were taught. Then you have to be able to practice and properly execute the techniques that you learned. Most styles can be very useful and help a person that studies and puts time into them, but bad instruction takes a lot away from what you learn.
Either one will do fine, you just need to find a good instructor.
It depends on the particular instructor, and his/her ability to teach beyond the confines of formal aikido kata. I’ve trained with and under a lot of great aikido instructors from both affiliations.
Also, please remember that Aikikai is the name of an organization, that includes a lot of different styles. For instance, the late Shoji Nishio-sensei’s version of Aikido is often considered the most unique, but he is still part of the Aikikai.
I do not believe that either are very sufficient for street self defense, but maybe Yoshinkan?
Yoshinkan because it emphasizes self defense applications and places particularly heavy emphasis on proper stances and basic movements. Practicing this will help one to understand how to move their kamae around to put themselves in a better stances.
