I enjoyed Stefan's Atemi video very much, thanks for putting it up.
I especially like the grab to iriminage.
I have a problem with complimenting the tanto competition techniques here ;

Interesting. That comes closer to what I would prefer as practice against resistance. The technique they do, I call kokyuho. A very effective and practical technique.

The second video definitely involves the 'winner' getting 'stabbed' in the armpit. Does this not count in the competition rules, or did the tanto guy falling down afterwards affect the decision?
The techniqur in both videos involves a suicidal lack of knife-arm control ... such that I could never ever bring myself to train it.
Each of Demetrio's little pictures shows initial control of the knife-arm so that the thrower is not stabbed;

I'm assuming this is the same Aikido style as the tanto competition clips above.
Larry, can you show me some good wins against the tanto guy which involve initially controlling the knife-arm?
