Definitely dominated, applied pressure, lured them in.

Great thanks loved learning what to work on for my kendo grading

200000000000? Let’s Kendo!

Great Kendo video! That 2nd men strike was so clean. - Worth watching just for that. Fisher Sensei, can you elaborate a bit on the interaction / connection between players (if that is the right term). I think I caught the meaning and could see the difference in the video, when after a strike there were a few times where the zanshin died down a bit, footwork became twitch relaxed; not completely but a little, vs. at least one strike when Kamae was on immediately. I notice that in my jigeiko sparring I open allow myself a small break, relax on footwork etc after an exchange as my partner and I step back to toma or so. Do you have any advice or tips on training to reduce that and increase the connection?
