From http://www.rojodojo.com A preview of my Bujinkan video exploring the Bujinkan kata 虎倒 kotō. This is a violent counter, but the opponent is trying to cut you with a short sword. And the way I teach this is to respond with the energy he puts out.
In fact, from your first uke you reflect the energy of his attack. Hatsumi Sensei called this 気合わせ kiawase. This is a matching or meeting of the attacker’s energy. When I did it this way, my opponent was always disarmed.
