Oh, she's pretty skinny for that height. Body composition? How much of that is muscle - about average, hobby athlete, pro athlete? Also, unless this is set in Belgium or something like that, she'll be very nearly the guard's height, which changes the game.

Aikido's excellent. The main thing even minimal (weeks) Aikido training will give her is knowing how to maximize force. For maximum effectiveness, mix it with krav maga. Krav maga's all about maximum damage in minimum moves; it makes a potent combo with Aikido. Aikido's a soft empty-hand art, so it'll give her about nothing with regards to knowing where to hit for maximum damage. (On the other hand, if someone tries to land a hand on her, they'll be in for a surprise.) Krav maga will cover that angle. (Amusingly, everything I said above I learned from a person with this training combo.)

Assuming your MC has hobby-athlete muscle % or better and knows how to work from the hips, she can very easily kill with something akin to a baseball bat. And I very much second the kidneys as something to aim for - even if she misses, she'll get either the ribs or the pelvis, so win either way. (Pelvis, that's the one I meant earlier: not the hips. Non-native English speaker here.) The guard will likely fall to the ground; follow that up with a good hard stomp (heel first) - shoulder or basically anywhere in the torso. (There's a ganglion in the shoulder I forgot the name of; that's her target there.) Another club swing will be a bad idea as it'll send her out of balance. Alt., she can aim a snap-kick to the side of his torso (ribs or kidneys) - or the head, if that what she has in range.
