I did Aikido, but had to pause with training for two years because of some health issues. I'll hopefully pick it up again this October.
I found it's teachings very useful in everyday human interactions - managed to de-escalate a lot of aggressive situations without having to use physical techniques.
I can't imagine someone learning a martial art on their own. You need a teacher and "sparing"-partners. I've learned the most from training with different partners at a dojo.
