Actually, i don't exactly agree with Richard. recently, Toda sensei came down to Melbourne and taugh us about Nito. He did mention that it is possible to gain a point using shoto. ..........
Hi Innercent, we were at the same seminar !
Toda Sensei explained that it was possible to cut with the shoto (of course) as one would, if fighting with two swords. A tsuki with the shoto when in close is a joy to receive (!)
But, the original question was about scoring in shiai. He did emphasise that cuts made with the shoto would not be awarded a point in shiai.
Possibly to even the odds a bit for the opponent with only one shinai.
