I don't think I've ever seen a Honbu SHIHAN with such a slovenly presence. His technique didn't look very precise to me. His pins were arresting (er, to watch, that is; no pun intended)--much different from the canon. I agree that his doing them at the speed he did without injury is a testament to some degree of control.
