That's not why some think he has bad technique. The reasons, in my mind, that it is incorrect are (while being a bit showy) 1: He constantly cuts towards his leg. In iaido, this is incorrect as it is unsafe. 2: While the cuts are good due to his hasuji, I do not see so much control in any of the other motions. 3: Many things, his bowing included, seem to give off an air of pure showmanship. It is too over-dramaticized, which is one of the reasons for the poor control in transitional motions.

[Hyoujinsama]

There is too much emphasis on "wow"ing people and not enough on good form (which can be overwhelmingly fast...just without all of this flailing).

I am not meaning this as an attack on him as a swordsman, just pointing out the subtleties. I do think that those are good cuts, though.
