We are currently working on the translation of this video and we apologize for the inconvenience.

In the first installment of our "Famous Waza" series, we focus on the men strikes of Hayashida Shohei of Fukui Prefecture.
Mr. Hayashida introduced this men-uchi as "a men where you steal the meei and attack.
He explained in detail not only how to steal the maai, but also how to grip the shinai and how to be aware of the posture of your upper body. He also explained the footwork that can lead to failure.
We have filmed this men-uchi from several perspectives, so please don't miss out on this must watch!
