Focus, while I agree that one oughtn't to top someone who doesn't want to bottom, let's assume that the bottom consents. Clearly, you know that some people like to roleplay takedowns, but I would like to remind you that people like to do consensual takedowns as dominance fights of a sort. Perhaps they don't define their roles clearly at the outset, or perhaps it's gratifying to have a confirmation of the top's dominance--here, we're dipping a toe into d/s, even though the OP didn't specify dominance or submission as involved in her scenes or relationships. Regardless, sometimes, people like real, consensual takedowns, where both partners fight to their best ability, excluding lethal force, because it's a confirmation or a legitimation of their power roles when a bottom fights to win and then loses to the top.
By the way, while I don't know whether all the suggestions of tasers, judo, and mace were flip, I know that they needn't be. Mace is illegal in most of the U.S., but it's used as a synonym for pepper spray, which is legal and doesn't cause permanent damage--you'll hurt for three hours, max, if you don't flush your eyes artificially. "Taser" is often misused to mean any stun gun or baton--a disabling electroshock device--and there are electroshock devices that don't have the history of accidental deaths that Tasers have. There are, in other words, similar devices to Tasers that are "non lethal" rather than "less lethal." I can't imagine why it would be silly or light-hearted to suggest that techniques from judo or another fighting sport would be useful in a takedown.
