Awesome, let me know please if it works for you, it could be hard to get use to

In general i would keep my guard up mentally right now as you seperate way earlier now. The technique is useful but needs alot of coordination and speed to be successful as it might take a good while to bring the shinai in the right place. It shares some similarities with kote kaeshi men which also lives off of doing it fast and efficient avoiding to draw too big of a circle with the shinai.

[@Kendotips]

Totally not a beginner's technique, specially because early on people don't really have the stability to swing the sword and move back efficiently at the same time. Thank you for your comparison with Kote Kaeshi Men, I think you are right.

[@Kendotips]

how do you handle this situation? Also check this video to explore how to move your sword faster : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpDJiKuFhtJ6Zpo

Should you score a Men if your opponent press his shinai on your left kote while you do this? I think judging standards are not consistent anymore, since kendo participators are judging these attacks by treating shinai both as a real katana and not as a real katana. It just feel like how the major Japanese judges think matters the most, not some universal agreements.

[@Kendotips]

Do you mean in this case that is not necessary to go around the sword in order to score the men? Just making sure I understand!

@@Kendotips As far as I know, older sensei might say that if your opponent lay his shinai on your shoulder, if this is a sword fight, it usually means a disadvantage that you should acknowledge your opponent‘s threat, and why you are not still not dead is because of the scoring restrictions. Thus we can see in higher Dan bouts, usually both party will choose to apply the same threat and back off to proper Maai. They know it is not a "reasonable way of using kanata, 剣理." Of course I do see JPN score one point against TPE by using the same technique you showed here, he even use his kote to set aside opponent's shinai and still score one point. Thus maybe in lower Dan and international tournaments scoring is more important.
