Don't use 'we' because I'm pretty sure you're not a Budoka. Just as sure that everything you've just said is just an assumption which you think is fact. I know that because I've always come across yobs (in real life) thinking they know everything about something just by making up facts from ignorant observation. In other words you're amongst those types making up stuff just from aesthetic observations..

If you are referring to me as being one of those people who do not know about it this, then you are mistaken. The term "hidden" refers to the fact, that the defender disguised his intent from the attacker, with the end result being, that the attacker was caught unawares, did not see the response and was unable to respond properly. A hidden technique,is one which is not seen. I am aware that we do not plan our attacks or defenses in Budo. The responses are natural and instinctual

People'd call it the way they want to call it because they don't really know about it. There's nothing "hidden" about this technique, it's just "1st grade" Kenjutsu, In Budo, we don't plan out techniques in a fight, we do it at the seat of the moment..

No problem. If you look at the feet of the defender and the position of his sword near the end of the film, he seems to be hiding his blade, setting up for a possible gaidan strike and then he turns it into a chudan strike. A strike within a strike.

Thanks so much for the explanation. I thought it was so hidden that why I did not see it.

It is a hidden technique, in that the man in the blue hakama(trousers), hid his intent to defend himself, in the way he did. His attacker did not know what method of defense the defender would use. Therefore, it was a hidden technique.
