Bunkai/finishing techniques

How many of your have classes teach the Bunkai/ finishing technique of different Aikido techniques? How does your style of Aikido teach them.

I know, I was taught to find five or more different finishing moves in Jujitsu/Karate, but sometimes it is just me and my teacher who understand this concept? Sometimes it is just enough to get to a finishing technique with the beginners and those who haven't cross trained? So, we only do them when the level of experience in the class can get to this point understanding safety with hurting concerns.

Does your teacher have one or more classes that not only show pins and submissions, but strikes to finish opponents?

We don't get there but once a week or less.
