It's interesting that you'd ask such a question, I often wondered bout that myself. In this last Brazilian Champ there was only one guy doing nitoryu. This same guy was wearing a f* real Same Do.

Mind you, I found out later when he removed his men that he was a eighteen year old westerner one-year-and-a-half-of-kendo shodan.

Some guys from Paraguay who stood next to use made some pretty funny coments

Anyway, he was bad. He polished the right side of his opponent Dodai with about 20 blows with the shoto, and no one of them was valid. He lost in the first round to a ittoryu guy who unleashed such a wonderfull barrage of four strikes into about 1,5 second that almost tore his two swords from his hands, and finally ended into a nice yukodatotsu to the upper kote (the one holding the daito).

Recently I asked sensei if he could help me with Jodan fighting. he told me very puzzling things. Not like 'fear leads to hate, hate leads to suffering', but he asked me if I was lefthanded (which I'm not) and then he told me that I could change stances during the match at will. And that was it

So for the last three months I've been arriving an hour before renshu to practice Jodan waza , but I've still got to try it in shiai.
