@AlanMolstad if you look closely, you should be able to see him parry his opponent's attack to his kote first, but he quickly turns this into his counter attack by hitting his opponent's kote instead. the reason he went backwards was to create more distance and space for his counter attack as his opponent was going forwards.
In contrast, Hikiwaza usually refers to a waza executed from tsubazeriai position, ie. when the two competitors' sword guards are touching.
Looked like kaeshi kote.
