Someone posted a link to this a few months ago and I've been trying to find it but can't anywhere. It is a short clip, perhaps from the 8 dan taikai, of Funatsu doing aigote and then a putting on a blistering turn of speed to kick forwards and score with men.

At least I'm 80% sure it was Funatsu... ANyone out there know the clip I mean?

No, although that's a good one. How powerful is Funatsu? (0.o) And who wraps up an 8dan FINAL in under 3 mins (the fact that the first point should have gone to Sato nowithstanding)?

I'm pretty sure the one I'm looking for was an edited vid of just the one technique. From memory Funatsu was on the right moving to the left, does kote-men with his kote landing simlutaneous to his opponent's, then follows up with men. Definitely wasn't a ZenKenRen vid. Thanks anyway Trent. b

I think this is the same match but from a different angle, you can see Funatsu do a kote men at about :54 that is so fast I didn't even realize there was a kote in there until seeing the slowmo. I couldn't really tell from the vid Trent posted but from this angle though, it does look to me like Sato's degote was in there first. That must have been a bit of a disappointment for Sato.
I'm a little curious about the men at around :31. One of the comments says this men strike was invalidated because Sato had his kensen touching Funatsu's body but that didn't happen until after the strike. Does that still invalidate the strike?

Was it this one? Funatsu vs Yoshimura (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHvK5VslZEA) near the end around 4:14?
