And yoshinkan to the core...I liked it too. One question...I think I noticed one empty hand yoke (block) against the jo...that seemed a little odd to me. Is that what I saw, or was there a tanto or something I didn't notice?
Also, while I agree in principle with some of Mr. S's value judgements (though a bit nitpicky given the situation described), one thing I think is perhaps a stylistic difference, is that I believe I have seen high level yoshinkan instructors both move uke around them, and move themselves around uke, depending on the circumstances. Could some of the more experienced yoshinkan folks weigh in on this one? I'd be very interested in what Peter Goldsbury has to say on that as well. Just to be clear, I'm refering to:

And for me, tori must be in the center of movement not uke,because tori wants to take a center of uke.
