Bujinkan vs Tomiki shomen ate

Here is an interesting difference in application of an idea as seen by the Bujinkan opposed to the Tomiki aikido lineage.

The idea I see being expressed here is what Tomiki labeled shomen ate, or the front strike. At this time I am unsure what the Bujinkan call this motion as they tend not to label and name their stuff very clearly on line.

Here is the old video that Mike and I made to represent the Tomiki clan.

    nice backstep body drop work with the bujin folks-though a bit flamboyant still nice to see shomanate with an ukiotoshi beginning (been working with a varient of this myself)
    -- not so keen on the precussion forms they favor -- but to each thier own

    also like your display of the timing conditions and entry variations --nice stuff
