0:42からの正代選手の上段の左面を内村選手が竹刀で打ち落と­して、そのとき内村選手の中心線より左にある竹刀の状態を利用し­て、少し後ろに体をかわしつつ少しスペースを作り、左引き面を打­った。複雑な技ですよこれは。

普通の人なら、上段の面を打たれた後に相手の体が自分に突っ込ん­でくるところに後ろにスペースを作るなんて到底不可能です。内村­選手がいかに常人離れした足さばきの持ち主でもある気がします。­これを竹刀をコントロールしつつやるのですからね。まさに迎撃ミ­サイルですね。

@Theparableof0 When swinging a shinai, there's a saying that goes "Left is for power, right is for guidance." My sensei continually teaches that 100% of the power from your swing should come from your left arm.

Ideally, one handed strikes aren't any less powerful, and because the majority of strikes from jodan stance are targeted to the men, accuracy isn't bad either (the weight of the shinai helps guide itself downwards)

Jodan stance isn't the most stable, but its attacks are fearsome.

That's a scary jodan.

[lokislasher]

the guy in white (shodai) was using the jodan no kamae... an offensive and difficult to master kamae (fight position)

[pyrosheen]

what kind of ryu was the guy in white using?

[TheMissingno]

This is an excellent match. I love the first ippon.

[wuttups]
