It depends on the level of the student. Any aikido person will tell you that aikido is better, and most karate students will argue that Karate is. Aikido students learn defense from most attacks, and since it was founded in Japan. Most of the attacks from karate and other Japanese Martial Arts are covered.
There is no better martial art. It depends on what you would like to learn.
kung fu is a martial art...followed by karate, judo aikido, muay thai , ect.
They are all martial arts and require dedication to learn. Aikido is a grappling art and karate is a striking art. Judo is a sport developed from jujitsu and also focuses on grappling.
No, Steven Segal is an Aikidoka and practices and teaches Aikido.
Both of these arts were created for different purposes by different people. Both arts focus on making an individual healthier and a better person. They require dedication and a lot of time to become proficient. Karate focuses on striking while Aikido focuses more on joint manipulation considering Aikido comes from Daito Ryu Jujutsu. It depends on what the student wants to get out of an art. ---------------------------------------------- What is above is absolutly correct. Actually, there is no better Martial Art to another. Efficiency is not a question of martial arts or sports, but of individuals.
Sport karate is geared towards competition rather than as a martial art. Budō is simply a Japanese word for martial arts, with gendai budō referring to styles that came about after the Meiji restoration - karate, aikido, judo, kendo etc. As such ALL karate is "budo karate".
There are many related martial arts. Karate is derived from Kung Fu, making it more of a child then a cousin. Karate has a number of related arts, including kobudo, judo, aikido and many of the Japanese martial arts.
Aikido, Ken-do, Judo, Sumo, Kyudo, Karate, Naginata are all traditional Japanese sports
Actually Segal is a 7th degree black belt or dan in Tenshin Aikido, affiliated with Aikikai of Osaka Japan, He mixes it with American Kempo as seen example his first and best film Above the Law and with the best kempo in Glimmerman and Under Siege.

No, karate is about being a better person.
because hapkido applies alot of teakwondo, aikido, and karate it would not be such a bad choice, but most of it relies on your trainer and coach.
The one-shot you are referring to is "My Wife is Wagatsuma-san." The story follows a karate champion named Yuuta and his wife Wagatsuma, who is revealed to be an aikido champion. In the end, Wagatsuma impressively takes down a bear using her aikido skills.
