Or does it only work when you're playing?
now you are purposely not getting the point
it being that there are situations where you can use aikido's principles
In my country the amount of force used against an attacker should be relational to the attack, you can not kick the shit out of some-one just grabs you
Overkill like in American Kenpo karate will land you in jail here
Short story what happened here in my country: junky robs a supermarket, tho young guys chase him and threathens them with a knife they overpower him and when the police arives and take thhe guy in custodi(spelling?) one of the boys hits the guy again, for that he was fined 750 euro (which our prince Bernard paid for him) on top of that the robber even tried to file a civil complaint and get 2000 euro from the boy or the supermarket his booty was less than 500(yeah right lets do a stupid robbery and let myself get kicked and sue for a lot of money, it's the new way of getting money)
So less damaging techniques are neccesary in my country
Hypotetical sistuation: because of a misunderstanding your neighbour is irate and grabs you with both hands, you know it's amisunderstanding and you do not want to damage him but do want to get his attention, I would say perfect for a wristlock or at least a use of the aiki principles
