Atemi?

Here is an article on the use of atemi in aikido: http://www.aikieast.com/atemi.htm

Could someone tell me if Take Sensei teaches the use of atemi in his aikido and if so, is it used at the beginning to make aikido technique easier or is it used at the end to finish a technique?

Thanks

Atemi in general is used to distract your attacker so you can properly execute a move, its usually used at the beginning after you step off the line and into your attackers 'center'.
