I wonder if any court has ever allowed a demonstration of how quickly a person can be injured or rendered unconscious by a person who knows what he's doing. That might be an eye opener.
Trained yesterday with an aikido 6th dan; my nearly healed shooting hand (from a seminar a couple weeks ago - hyperextended my middle finger) isn't so happy, at the moment, as he used me for some sankyo demonstrations. He's 61, and 5'7" or so. I'm early 40s, 6' and 205lbs, and he had me hopping around on tip-toes and doing my best not to yip like a tortured puppy.
In previous schools, I've choked out and submitted people. It's not hard to do, when one knows how to do it - although that depends on the other guy's abilities.
But I do wonder just how much (if at all) a prosecutor's opinion might change if the prosecutor ever agreed to be the subject of such a demonstration.
