I agree with Jacob. Fumikomi shouldn't be done with purpose, it should be an inconsequential result of ki-ken-tai-ichi. If you have that there's no need for fumikomi but if it happens, that's OK too. The problem is when you're trying to score from Toma ( far-far-distance) you almost have to raise your foot high even to get there - Making a loud noise coming down. Almost all Kendo pictures from shiai, unfortunately, feature these kind of pictures because they look dynamic and interesting..

When was the last time you saw 8th dan picture on any Kendo related article or web? ( except 8th dan tournament of course )

Center-Take it and keep it.
