charlie,

sorry. i understand the question now.

what aru-ma is talking about is that there are 2 ways in nito in which the kenshi can hold his daito. he can either grip the daito directly under the tsuba of the daito (where the right hand usually goes in chudan) or hold the end of the tsuka (where the left hand usually goes in chudan). so it is a matter of where to grip the daito, not where the kensen is, as the daito will be above your head in jodan fashion.

only time a nito kenshi would do a "nito chudan" as you have called it, is during sonkyo, otherwise the daito is always held above the head.
