Asai Ippon Kumite

The long distance is typical for Shotokan. If you can reach your enemy from this distance then you'll be even faster at a shorter distance. Also in this video it is demonstrated how Asai Sensei is stepping forward, instead of the typical backward motion. One can't clearly demonstrate that with a shorter distance. I think that for a demonstration it is perfect. Of course a real life situation is something different.
