Let's be honest ... the ukemi from kotaegashi was so awful to look at ... doesnt make sense to put the body at risk for a kotaegashi ... this is a test for 5th dan but the act of taking such bad ukemis - i wouldnt want to put on the belt even if i passed the test. And jesus christ the randori - all those slaps and chin touch sent the uke to the ground ... like seriously?
