Somewhere in the middle of a series of being thrown by him, and my unsuccessful attempts at a shihonage, I reversed him into a sankyo, and he looked ... puzzled. We stood there for a few seconds and then I let him go because I didn't know if he would follow the correct ukemi or decide to break his own wrist.
My compliments. Taking this sort of approach allows you to play around in a much freer and safer way. Of course, both parties have to have made this sort of agreement.

By the way, I meant that, I popped a TKD guy's wrist as a second kyu because he resisted sankyo and I didn't let it go. He was a sandan and probably would have destroyed me in a fight so I guess he felt like he could take anything I dished out

Both of us were wrong!
