Those are some great knockouts, DWx. One thing I have to say, though: "get your freakin' hands up, guys!"

Having those hands up around your head can make a big difference.

Yeah it irritates me so much. That and the falling over after the technique.

I agree here, too. They are always falling over because they are leaning back to throw their kicks.

This is what I like about Aikido techniques, they are mainly for defense (depending upon whether you are training in traditional or combat Aikido). You aren't attacking anyone, therefore you never have to worry about the opponent having his hands up in the air to protact his head, because if you are only waiting for an attack, he is either going to attack you or go home...and if he attacks.......man! that arms ALL MINE!
Once I got the arm......well, let me not go crazy here! I think the best self defense techniques begin with one's blocking / cleansing applications. If you utilize "stop-hit" type blocks (like we do), your opponent punches (or kicks) and pulls back his natural weapon all bruised up and in pain. You don't have to break it in order to inflict great pain, especially if you have some pressure point tactics in your arsenal.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but I have rarely had to go more than 10 seconds with someone simply because a well-placed shot (and not necessarily a power shot, just an anatomy-articulated one) made my attacker realize that if he should continue in his folly, he would end up with the short end of the stick.

This is one strategy that I don't care for; waiting for an attack. If I feel like an attack is eminent, then I will act first.
With that said, I do think that the ideals behind Aikido can still be used to this same end. I don't work much with pressure points, but you still have lots of options if you can control a limb.
