what rules are there disallowing the ni-to guy to stab the shit out of the jodan guy with his free shinai. when you lock swords is it treated as a ceasefire?

All my comments are given thumbs down cause i seem to have a YouTube stalker/critic. We had a bit of a discussion regarding Ohmi Sensei (you can search for Ohmi Sensei here on YouTube to find the video, but the comments have been removed) and he was banned from further comments. Since then all of my movies/posts get random "Ohmi Sensei sucks" or some such comments and all my responses are given a "thumbs down". :)
You have to remember that both Jodan and Ni-to styles make you a "one-hit-wonder". It's important to pick your moments well, perhaps more important than when using one shinai. That being said, you want to force your opponent to open which means perhaps being more aggressive overall.

Its not to say that you "can't" do multiple hits from Jodan, or that people who use it "don't" do multiple hits. Chiba Sensei and Kenji Shodai are prime, albeit exceptional, examples. The term 1-hit-wonder thats often tagged to Jodan IMO really comes down to 2 things. (1) Strength. If i recall, Shodai does something like 2k Katate suburi a day(!) to be able to do his famed multi hitting. And (2), since Jodan is exceedingly "seme based", most sensei will say that "proper" jodan is only one hit.
You know - you're right - but Chiba Sensei and others of his calibre are in a league of their own. The majority of jodan and ni-to players I've encountered aren't really good at making follow-up strikes if their first goes awry.

You do need to be aggressive in Jodan. As Niagara42 has already mentioned, that doesn't necessarily mean always being "physically" aggressive. However, you are observant to notice that the aggression could have been better. Specifically far too much "backing up". But I must admit that the nito totally threw me. But that's why we practice no?
Hmm. Maki waza refers to disarming technique. You were not disarmed. The swirling shinai momentarily hypnotized you until it was too late . . .
BTW, the earlier kote was when you were in jodan, no? I thought I faked kote then struck underneath your block. Too bad the video missed that part - I wish I could do that all the time...

I've always used the term "Maki Waza" to refer to any technique where the shinai literally "rolls" or spins. I think i heard somebody use it once when describing the Shidachi's waza in Kendo no Kata: Yonhonme and its stuck ever since. ;)

Some fun Keiko...thanks Mark. Facing "regular Nito" vs Gyaku was a real treat. Your final "Maki waza" was great, and while not on this video your Kote (while I was in Chudan) was excellent. Good fun!

Shouldn't the jodanka attack more frequently? His Ki(ai) should be more fierce as well, am I right?

I thought "Maki Waza" was literally "rolling" or twirling the shinai. Is that nor correct?
The Kote was when i was in chudan. I think you can see it in the background of the video's on our facebook site while Ron was doing keiko with Sun.
