Re: san dan test video

The techniques look good and crisp. The movement style looks a lot more bending at the hip instead of the knees than I am used to.

The part that seems strange to me is uke's approach/attack. I am used to seeing ukes attack really aggressively on dan tests. This guy is taking nice falls, but attack-wise he appears to just be timidly holding his hand out so you can do something to him. Several times, it even looks like he is really reaching it out there like he is reluctant to get his center too close to you. Is this a deliberate convention for this portion of the test in your school?
