1. is atemi integrated into your normal technique?
Yes.
2. do you do them all the time
Yes, but the intensity depends on who I'm working with.
3. does atemi interfere with blending (due to the motion stopping)
Only if I choose the wrong atemi.
4. Do you strike vital points (particular killing areas) during your atemis.
Sometimes.
5. Do you allow uke to do atemis during the technique if he is able?
How can I stop him? Seriously, I do prefer if uke shows me my openings and a well placed atemi is usually the most efficient way to do that.
6. Do you think you would naturally use atemis if attacked?
Absolutely. No question at all.
