It's interesting how he punches off backstance (kokutsu dachi). Instead of pivoting the backfoot forward, he compresses the pelvis forward, really throwing the lower body into the punch. I remember seeing such technique practiced on sandbag makiwara on some of the Kendokai websites. It's clear that Kancho Royama has retained many of the things he learned from Nakamura Sensei.
