I enjoyed this demonstration of Kodokan Goshin Jutsu (the demo at the beginning of the film a lot. Things that I found especially noteworthy -
- the large amplitude of the kotegaeshi throws
- in the separated empty-hand section, uke's attacks are great! not the overly simplistic or telegraphed feeds that we usually see.
- in the knife section, uke's mind apparently slips and he changes the attack but tori seamlessly slips into an appropriate response.
