I think the lady did Mae while the others did Shohatto for some reason. Liked the guy in the middle, the lady sorta regained her composure, but the torei's were not impressive at all. It's like she is trying to squeeze herself into a 5 by 5 feet spot.
Everyone looks rushed.. from when the examiner said "Hajime" and to the ending To-rei, it took them all approx 5:15-:18sec which is ok, but when you are going for Sandan in Iai you shouldn't looked rush, I mean they're technique is great, don't get me wrong, I am just saying they shouldn't have a rushed outlook.. Just my opinion though :)
@juottavi Yeah, IMO that is way too close together. Quite dangerous especially since you can't tell who is going to do what in the first koryu form.

@DarumaLookalike Middle candidate started with Inyoshintai. Outer candidates did Shohatto. Her noto was the most telling.

In my opinion they should perform not so closer.
