I just noticed a comment about the amount of body turn in Shigeki sensei's mae. Shimomura ha was his main 'style' of MJER (he awarded Iwata sensei his menkyo kaiden in shimomura ha rather than tanimura ha MJER). This strong body turn is one of the distinctive features. If you watch the video closely you can also see the saya is inverted during nukitsuke, and is not put back until noto. There are some interesting stylistic differences between the two ha I was shown some years ago now, which I practise as a sort of kae waza to keep them in my mind as it were...
