Ai-jyodan (jyodan players match) - University 32

I found rare match in youtube video following link. Players are both jyodan in the match.

It was 2018 all Japan Student individual championship 4^th round. Red side is Sako belongs to Hitotsuhashi University, and white side is Hirano belongs to Sensyu University.

To be honest, I am a chudan standard style player. So, it was beyond my imagination.

First, I questioned about how they calculate distance to opponent player. From experience? But, I think they also have few experiences facing jyodan player.

0:38 white player’s Kote was powerful and impressive. And he stroked Kote again at 1:54 and this became ippon.

3:05 red player’s Men and white player’s Kote exchange might be Men’s win but unfortunately it wasn’t admitted ippon.

Red player tried to stroke Do and Men in changed-timing, but white player was skillful and defensive after getting ippon and didn’t allow for red player to hit rest of the time.
