This is just an example of jigeiko with a sensei. Please pay attention to how those students strike. They keep going forwards. It does not matter if they are counter-attacked or not, they keep going forwards. It is how we should train with senseis.

For example, many people try to block their opponent’s do strike while they are striking men. Once you decide to strike men, you should devote yourself into that men strike. Therefore, you should not even think about blocking once you start to move to strike.

This is just an example of jigeiko with a sensei.
I do not want you to imitate what sensei does to the other guy such as foot sweep or pinning him down on the floor.
It is important to know when and how a high ranked people seize an opportunity to strike.

Again do not imitate just fancy moves. You will hurt your kendo friends if you do not know how to do them properly.

Thanks
