Re: 5th Kyu Shihan
Yes, this is a problem that comes up from time to time. You could try teaching them that, for basic practice, their job is to provide a clean attack and clean energy so that you can both work on that technique. You are very likely doing that for them and could no doubt 'mess' with them in all the same ways - you could show them that, and then show them good ukemi. And if they still don't get it, then change what you are doing and throw them some other way.
For kihon waza, uke and nage have an agreement on what will happen. It is not freestyle or sparing. If they make a scene about you changing technique on them, then they are trying to make you stick to this practice agreement while violating it themselves. They cannot have it both ways.
Hopefully they will see that being belligerent on the mat is not what aikido is about. If not, they probably won't stick around very long.
