Last night (Thursday 3/3/05) was my first class back at my home dojo after Ellis's seminar. I was gratified to see opportunities for some of the strikes that we worked on in our taisabaki.
I especially saw the nikkokyu (2nd vector) in our taisabaki where we go to the outside against a yokomenuchi strike. Nage's arm rolls around uke's strike and I saw the elbow strike we practiced at the seminar in that movement. I was able to use use that movement pretty well -- without the strike, but the strike was there if I wanted it.
