Aikido: Atemi in Action: Training Doesnt Have to be Nice

We have basic atemi, and then Ikkyo, Nikkyo and Irimi Nage.

These waza have come from a lineage of Japanese styles. They work, in non sports settings.

In sports they do not work, because of rules. Ikkyo Nikkyo Sankyo and Yonkyo are all small joint techniques, involving the wrist. These techniques were made for breaking the arm as we have seen in the very nsfw scene from irreversible.

This is why Aikido looks like collusion, because no one wants to get hurt.

In most schools if you hurt a partner, you could be shunned by others or even dismissed for the school.

Save the best fighting for the ring in sports training, you don't want to kill your team off. Or hurt your training partner, Because then you wouldn't have a training partner.

The pleated pants they are wearing are called Hakama, usually work for knee protection during suwari waza.
