The final hiki-men by Teramoto may be debatable but the counter-men by Park at 5:07 is obviously an ippon - can't believe any judges can miss that...very disappointing.

Hello everyone, sorry for my English.

I was scoring the points in the "chart" (don't know if the name is right) of the court A (final match court) and I can say that Park's hikimen was to be ippon.  I saw, earlier that day, some other hikimens like Park's one that the referees had counted as ippon.

I could see that the referees do not score ippon against japaneses unless it is very clear!

Teramoto's men was perfect.

5:07 counter by Park was too deep on the shinai. Not for ippon.

いい試合ですね。

審判や判定についてどう云おうと、意味はありません。

何故敗れたのか、如何にして勝てたかは、剣士自身が解っています­。

気剣体一致が全てです。敗れた者も勝利した者もその意味を、互い­に全力を賭して戦った試合を経てこそ理解できます。

だからこそ、剣道は、礼に始まり礼に終わるのです。

6：24＞＞

Why is white hiki-men no use?

It is because he did not have strength as he can cut it.

When he beat, he had a hesitation.

Therefore he became hiki-men which had weak power.

8：01＞＞

His red hiki-men has strength to be able to cut.

Unfortunately this is the different btw SHIAI vs SHINSA

[gladcharles]

one question about teramoto's hiki men. his left fist is almost underneath his right elbow, at the very right position of his chest. Is it really a good way to use a katana? it's a solid shinai strike, true; a good katana cut? i don't know. i would appreciate some opinions about this.

in the end say terayama michael.

[fauinomata]

Yes, in the beginning and at the end of the video

Actually, nowadays, the monouchi is the 1/4 of the blade

[neogtrmn]

I wouldn't go quite as far to say that the referees were terrible. Looking at Park's hikimen, the shimpan might've thought that it was a little shallow and not quite with the monouchi or that it was too far down on Teramoto's head for it to be a good yoko-men. Teramoto's hiki-men was solid, right on the center, and completely with the monuchi.

[steev5]

It's very clear that refereeing here was terrible.
