What do you think about this match?
First Do was good hit. Red player (red) countered
nicely to white (white) player’s Men. But, soon white took back Kote. I felt
this Kote was most beautiful of this match. Maybe Kote is white player’s
favorite technique because speed and precision was so exceeding among his
technique.
The important point in the first attack was
how to prepare for counterattack. Before first Do, red moved his right foot
half step forward to counterattack white and waited for Men. As red expected,
white came and so he got nice ippon.
For next white Kote, red seemed to fend off
Kote and hit Men. But this time, it was difficult for him to do it because Kote
was faster and good enough to be ippon.
From several movements, I think white
noticed red is not good at coping with Kote hitter. So in latter part, he tried to
hit Kote more frequently. Interesting point is that he attacked Kote many
times, but white could not countermeasure properly and was defeated at last.
White attacked Kote 2 ways, fastest one and
slow one. He changed the timing. Fastest one was shortest hit, (like 2:43 in
the video), it is like stabbing movement. Slow Kote confused opponent,
approaching and waving Shinai (sword) as if trying to Men (3:03 in the video). As
a result, red confused and showed movement protecting his Men.
In this match, white pressure was stronger
and he took the initiative.
