The only way I know is via atemi used as a one time counter

significantly better in aikido than he his in whatever he is doing).
someting irimi or irimi tenkan based.

irimi is the one thing along with all things surwari I dont like in aikido.
But Im trying to learn the benefit of it all.

Now ikkyo I totally dig - against a punch, maybe not...but against silly people that want to 'grab' at you because they are 'judo' king...I think it would work charmingly enough.

Peace
