Things that look diferent to me:
- 6:35 Uke initiates on shomenuchi ikkyo.
- 5:00 Sankyo ura looks different.
- 5:45 Very deep entry on shomenuchi nikkyo ura.
- 4:45 Seated pins on yonkyo (omote and ura).
- 1:50 A bokkken suburi (shomenuchi-kaitan-shomenuchi).
- 1:50 The 3rd bokken suburi as we know it today is missing.
- 1:18 Bits of 31 kata look different
- 0:49 The 17th movment (strike to the knee) is high.
- 0:28 The 30th movment includes a hasso element and consequently 31 becomes a right yokomen.
- 0:24 Haven't seen this nice flowing kata before

Very cool! That's one of the best Saito videos I've seen. I could watch that over and over.
The title refers to this as a transitional phase. Actually comparing to films from the late 80s (over 20 years later!) it is not looks that different.
On a different subject, falling on the dirty ground with the gi and hakama! Ohh, the humanity!
