Really interesting watching this. Obviously their grades suggest they are highly skilled practitioners yet the kata is very different to how I was taught. We were told that each throw builds upon the first and they should be flowing and smooth. For example in uke otoshi (the first throw) uke starts by stepping forward and pushing tori. Toei continues the momentum until uke is on their toes and thrown from their. I’m astonished how for ippon seoi nage each uke literally stops the arm action before they are thrown which is very unrealistic. They learnt from the first thrown that pushing doesn’t work so they go for a punch and it should have pace and meaning. Every thrown in each of the five sets has the same kind of progression with uke learning and changing their approach for the next attack. I don’t know which approach is correct but I know the way I was taught 20 years ago makes sense from a logical point of view. Interested in anyone who can shed some light on this.

it has to do with the particular style you want to demonstrate. There are 2 'schools': kodokan and busen. You were probably taught busen because it derives more from an actual competition-like approach. In busen, you need to show 'flow'. What you see in the video is kodokan, which is much more stylized and formal. It is more about absolute control and perfected technique. Hope this helps.
