First one: Isao Ogawa (white) vs. Masashi Chiba (red) Second one: Kazuo Negishi (white) vs. Tadao Toda (red) Three of them have been the first place of All-Japan Kendo Championships. Ogawa-sensei, once (1977) Chiba-sensei, three times (1966, 69, and 72) Toda-sensei, twice (1962 and 64) Anyway, thank you for uploading! :)
I practice Sei-too Ryu Kenjutsu, which is an off-shoot of Musashi's style like Niten Ichi Ryu, and we use both swords often. However, i do not understand the application here. With my style we use the Katana in the right and the wakizashi in the left. Could someone familiar with Nito Kendo explain why the katana is in the left and held at the end of the tsuka? It seems like in real combat it would be harder to use it this way, but it could just be a style thing.
Third type - with a tathi in a right hand and a kodathi in a left, right foot forward. This is much more strong kamae, becouse your kotes are very difficult targets here. Odinary kendoists very rare trains strikes in a low level left kote and a high level right kote. But you must have a practice in a gjako jodan, for good strikes. This is kamae for advanced kendo players.
Fourth type of kamae - tachi in a left hand, left foot forward. This is master kamae. Your kotes in a usual position and your opponent thinks that he can hit it esealy, but becouse this you has more abilites to manipulate of your opponent mind. Also, much more wadza can be used in this kamae. Shinai much more lighter, than a katana, Toda sensei strong enough to control it even for a tsuka gasira grip. Sorry my bad english. :)
There are four types nito ryu kamae in a Toda sensey theory. Tachi right hand, left foot forward - old kenjutsu type. I don't know much about it. Second type - tachi in a left hand, right foot foward. This is a nito ryu kamae for kendoka, who has't jodan and g-jodan expirience. Seme, maai, foot work almost like a chodan here.

The gyaku-nito kendoka is Tadao Toda Sensei. He pass his 8ºDan examination using gyaku-nito.
You can change the video title if you want.
I recognized his kiai and Kendo straight away
By the way, the chudan kendoka in the last match was Hironori Yamada, who was the champion of AJKC in 1973, just for your information.
That last strike that the red guy got was nice!
@SheylaFireCrow for me is a good description!!! one question!!! why they hit each other but the fight dont stop??
Just to clarify my last comment, the jodan kendoka is Chiba Sensei and the nito kendoka is Toda Sensei.

@ZhaoDrek scoring in Kendo isn't only about touching the target.
@6shige9 thanks, was so confused why the chodan guy kept switching colors ;)
