My understanding of Jodan is similar to Richard's: no points with the Shoto - it is only for defense. The valid points in nito are any valid points but with the daito.

Like Akihiro, I am also interested in the other styles within kendo. My experience in asking for instruction is the same as alexpollijr's. And all the people I have known that use jodan or do nito style just started doing it, essentially on their own. They don't get a lot of instruction other than the sensei saying a point was good or not in shiai.
