my instructor has showed us a few (only a few) aikido techniques. maybe he has taught us more and just didn't tell us it's aikido. but the few that he showed us do work. one technique had us grabbing our opponents bicep as he reached in, then pulling him around and moving to his back. from there you could slide your arm through for a choke and hit the small of his back to bend him backwards and off balance, or just take him straight down. I used this technique while grappling.
