Daaaamn! That last point in the tsuki was actually awesome. Didn't think he would pull it of like that. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[ScoutSniper127]

Oh man the ending was just crazy! one little move and its over... Nice job! hope to see more awesome videos!

[MeSezSo]

i enjoy this and all.... but do the crowd really have to clap everytime they smack the bamboo sticks together?

[dirtykittyme]

OMG!!!!!! amazing!!!! they are sooooooooooo fast!!! last point was a surprising move! just amazing!

[bluealbedo]

Holy crap. I did not see that coming at the end. Very nice!

[SSJ5Goton]

Great match! what speed!! Personally, I feel like Ishida should have won the match, he had great technique and some great men hits that I was a bit surprised didn't count. They were dogging it at the end though...interesting finish with the ski though. Overall, great effort by both kenshi.

[Alhok]

Ohhh my god.... first 2 .... the only word I have is - SPEED! wow,,, plain wow,,,,, compare to them my strike speed is freaking slo mo,,,,,

What the disappointing match. They had just touched each other and didn't cut. Finally, Kitani got a tsuki with the empty mind. I couldn't believe that was the final match.

[Lodoss3800]

A splendid stab



[skittles0703]

so cool!!!

[HeroOfXanadus]

and dayum that tsuki was not perfect form but it was good nonetheless.

[almoroth]

Very nice match. Felt as though there could have been more kiai, but I am hardly one to judge. Not every day you see a match end with a tsuki ippon, either.

[Omnis2]

Nice tsuki

I think 4.44 is subject to the new high school rules around breaking Tsuba zariai

[bluealbedo]

Wow, I thought it was a solid men at 4:44. Good enough for students, at least.

[HeroOfXanadus]

@bluealbedo I would say, it was too close. besides, they are college students and are probably in the levels of 2dan+ at least.

[mmacconn069]

As wonderful as it to see all of the 8th dan and their amazing technique. It's refreshing to see the younger guys match up. It's very lively and energetic and gets me (and other people I imagine) in the mood to get involved.



So I thank you for posting this :D
