To illustrate the difference you can check the same strike (minus the step forward) in the "Kiri kake" clip I have uploaded. That is the tokyo variant of essentially the same technique as this above.
You mean when he steps forward and then slams the jo on uchidachis wrist? That particular way of doing monomi is a trademark of the Fukuoka Jo. In Tokyo-based Jo-dojos, for instance, the monomi is mostly tightly synched with Uhidachis sword. I dont know the exact reasoning behind the formers monomi-strike.

If I'm not mistaken the uchidachi is Matsui-sensei, wonder who the shi-jo is...
