Totally.
Used my aikido opener to esplode the Uke.

Grabby, messy, and you lose your hand. Im guessing from the title you dont do a lot of SP though, but still, you could save your hand. Plus at least two of the DMs were from grabbing alone, which is never smiled on.

Experiment some more. Try getting your tori into a situation that seems retarded, and then from there work it out to do some damage. You may be surprised.

Pretty much no single player up to now, true.
I'll try experimenting more. Thanks.
