@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.
I thought it looked like, he struck Shodai on his fist rather than his write, and also, it realy looked like he struck with teh side of his shinia and not the blad of his shinai. Though the timing and everything else looked great.
この全盛期の正代先生に2本勝ちできる内村先生を拝見して、10年以上経った今でも内村先生が未だに現役で大会で上位入賞されてる理由が、少し分かった気がします。
体力とスピード以上に、いかに理合でもって剣道を突き詰めていられるか、ということではないでしょうか。
Shodai's kiai is awesome. It sounds like a howling demon hawk.
This is an excellent match. I love the first ippon.

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

wtf with Shodai O.o is very ortodox
and the 1st point of Uchimura is a lot to think about
great video
why would the first kote of Uchimura be somehow weird?
Right Kote??????????
what did i quit kumdoboy?
The left one.
Shinai was quicker than eye :/
Left Kote. Shinai is quicker than the eye. =P
That's a scary jodan.
I was getting annoyed when the winner kept waiting after the loser got blocked.... -__-;;
Shit. Double post :/
