Iwama 1964

Morihiro Saito in slow motion, Iwama 1964. I wonder who the uke is.
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
