Do you also do kendo or iaido?

I was wondering the same thing. There is no iai or kendo in your bio. Most of us are more into the sword stuff.

Some of use do hand-to-hand combat, I do aikido. I have little experience in mixing arts, especially hand-to-hand combat. If you're a beginner at karate, it would not be a good idea to start aikijutsu, wait a few years. I had great difficulties with aikiken (aikido sword work) because of iaido. I've solved most of the different issues, but it was not easy. If you can blend in the two styles, no p. One can supplement the other. There was an (advanced) karateka at my dojo that was perfectly able to supplement his karate with aikido. He left because of his study. To bad, he is very talented.

Keep practising karate for a while, what if you don't like aikijutsu?
