The following video is from 2017 all japan
student individual championship 5th round. In this match, red player
is Miyamoto who was semifinalist in 2016 all japan kendo championship (not
student but all adult).
So, his talent was already proven and
everybody knew he was excellent player.
White side is Makishima, who was
semifinalist in last year same tournament.
Both players are well-known and we expected
their match.
Red player’s pressure was strong and white
player avoid first encounter to clinch.
1:04 Men was unavoidable, it was fast
one-step Men. So before white player knew it, he hit Men.
From here, red player completely dominated
this match.
However, soon after that, white player
tried Tsuki all of a sudden before they made enough distance.
This serial movement was unexpectable
because it was too difficult for somebody to Tsuki while they are in such a
close distance.
Gradually, the momentum of the match went
toward white player.
At around 3:20, white player seemed to
dominate. Because he first pushed into red player’s territory.
White player confused him changing rhythm,
at some moment try abrupt distant Men from abnormal angle (2:22, 3:43) or some
moment GyakuDo in strange timing (4:18).
He hit 4:59 Men at last. Red player
couldn’t anticipate white player have such a counterattack when white player
was still in his backward movement.
As a result, red player couldn’t react his
attack.
Not a small number of audiences predicted red player's victory because he had a good result last year in much famous and big tournament.
However, in this match, white player seemed to dominate red player. Partly their kendo style compatibility related the result.
