Now ikkyo I totally dig - against a punch, maybe not...but against silly people that want to 'grab' at you because they are 'judo' king...I think it would work charmingly enough.

Just be careful that the guy is not a skilled judo man, or you might quickly find yourself on the wrong end of a harai goshi. Judo, like boxing, bjj, mauy thai, etc is very dangerous inside its range of fighting (the clinch).
