very impressive Aikido, very wild movement good video.

Well there is an ura kote... An upward short strike. But it is rare and it is very difficult to incorporate the false edge strike work from the hand and a half European sword into the work with the katana. Having said that, some principles are obviously overlapping. They are both big two handed blades, some resemblance is inevitable :). Keep on looking, let me know how it goes!

@ACTdirector do you happen to know a name for any technique like this?
-
@ACTdirector I am looking for a specific technique (assuming at exists) involving twisting the blade and doing a sort reverse strike. Something similar to european short edge strikes, but done by twisting the sword so it happens with the katana's long edge...

I practice all the time - at least 10 hours a day.

Nice. Good to see kendo/kenjutsu people trying their stuff in sparring.
