This is Morihiro Saito's son, Hitohiro Saito demonstrating the Iwama tachidori. Again, this is much the same as the previous tachidori films - I guess that is to be expected because there are only so many plausible options when uke has a 3-foot razor-sharp knife. But this demonstration has a nice live-action tempo to it as opposed to the kata or teaching feel of the previous films. There is also an outstanding guruma that took me by surprise in there.

Cool video. His movements look minimal, but I imagine his power is impressive when felt.
