I recently purchased "Kensei to Gokui" or the 'sword saints' video featuring Hakuda Nakayama doing kendo kata circa 1928 and Seiji Mochida doing kendo kata a bit later.

When introducing Nakayama they show footage of him performing sword/jo kata with a jo practitioner who moves very impressively taking Nakayama's balance with each movement decisively. The jo practitioner is in white hakama.

Does anyone know who this jo practitioner is?

I asked the fellows at Budovideos.com where I purchased this video and they recommended this forum.

Thanks
