Description of Kaisoku

From Daijodan no kamae, uke cuts down towards tori. Tori evades to the outside and kicks uke's hand. Uke tries to draw his short sword(wakazushi or kodachi), then tori blocks it by putting a hand on the sword and hits with Ura shuto to kasumi (temple) and throws in Osoto geri.
