Last article, I introduced Men-kaeshi-Men
and explained it is difficult technique.
As for this Men-kaeshi-Men, I remember one
beautiful ippon. It was 2012 all japan high school championship team final,
jiho match.
Red side player was Tanaka belonged to Toin-gakuen,
located in Kanagawa prefecture next to Tokyo. And he did excellent hit in this
match in extra inning.
First 1:00, white player was declared one
foul. He actually didn’t contact his shinai properly when they attached
“tsubazeriai”. However, personally I feel it a bit early to give him a foul.
Maybe that’s due to preference of judges.
Within time, white player had almost no
careless point and he showed good aggression.
In extra inning however, white player
sometimes showed his hesitation and impatience maybe because red player defensed very well and
couldn't find any good point to hit.
Like the movement 5:25, he jump from
distance without steady stroke. From 5:55, he seemed to be hastened to hit something.
But this serial movement didn't include good enough strokes, either.
In such situation, first red player induced
opponent’s careless point. And at 6:16, after red player made pressure to successfully
induced opponent incomplete Men, with his snap, he stroked wonderful Men.
He had excellent kendo sense. And this is
the most technical Men-kaeshi-Men I have ever seen.
