I started a thread for us and anybody else who wants to share their ideas about Bassai on the kata forum. I figure that's better than hijacking Dana's thread.

So your basically doing an outside armbar Dana ?

Believe me - I'll never be the one to say "this is the only application for this posture" however since this one was in the magazine and just so closely matched the posture in our kata I had to give it a try.

And FWIW, I'm very cautious these days about sticking together too many of the postures in a kata in a row. What happens next in kata is sometimes meaninful and sometimes not (IMHO). So I look at each posture as a collection of stand alone principles to be studied and then stuck back together however you happen to need them in the moment.
