Mike Sensei taught a class with a reflection of some principles he learned at the Systema seminar in Orlando last weekend. From what I picked up they focused a lot on finding openings and striking. We incorporated this into our class today and, while executing the technique, went over the different openings there are on your attacker.
We practiced Menutsuki Kotagaeshi and as we blended with the strike and Tenkan around Uke, the first strike was an elbow to their kidneys before bringing them around to a Kotogaeshi lock and directing your center through them and into the ground.
Another technique was Shomenuchi Ikkyo, but rather than completing the Ikkyo lock as Nage blends past Uke we went over the low kick that presents itself to the side of their knee, the elbow to the kidney and of course the potential to complete the technique with an Ikkyo lock, or 3 palms up lock.
