Omar, if you're reading this, would that duck under the strike be a good opening to do an elbow strike? It just seems like the posture you end up in could be used to do that, a horse stance with forward leg penetrating their stance.

Actually that throw is shown by Bas Rutten in his Self Defense video as a way out of a head-lock.

i like an elbow strike to the ribs or solar plexus when i enter for this throw, and the cheap shot Anna was talking about in an earlier post to... follow him right down into side control...keep wailing and apply a submission...

i just want to express how aikido is effective if you see beyond the aikidance that too many people equate with aikido... there is really nothing new in any martial art... the human body and physics are pretty much all there is to it...

So you would bend over between a guys arms when he grabs you by the shirt with both hands at that distance, to hit him in the ribs on the left side with your right elbow? I would not attempt that application and I do not think that I would be hit with it when attacker in that scenario.
