I am still curious what you had seen or heard about Daito ryu up until you saw it in Japan that led you to expect different than what you saw.
Before I went to Japan I knew little of Daito Ryu. There was no YouTube back then. But I had attended various seminars. One was by a group of Japanese from Hontai Yoshin Ryu, as I remember. They were very impressive - soft and powerful - it looked like a fluid mix of Judo/Aikido/Jujustu. I guess I expected it to be something like that. But it was not.
