Seme is demonstrated with the WHOLE person: with the sword as an extension of his physical self, his body and his spirit. Neglecting any one of these three in a performance isn't true seme. Ki-ken-tai-ichi -- remember this.

The more I review my notes and talk to others the more I can't help thinking the height of your arrogance in attitude to think you have spotted errors. I can only be generous and excuse you for being too junior to know better, or confusing strict details of Seitei gata with the variation found in koryu styles, or confusing MSR with MJER, etc.

Interesting that you should be thinking this, because I was thinking the same thing in return. Has it crossed your mind that his teachers in Japan have seen these videos and he has gotten feedback? Because I know he has. It's expensive to create professional instruction videos. I haven't met a sincere teacher yet that is not genuinely unhappy with any professional video they have done.

Anyway, be careful, the pride is a very bad attitude, if you want to learn budo, and that is the most common fail in that students. I'm just pointing just errors that I saw in this video that you put in the Internet. Maybe, before you may see the truth of my comments.

by the way, I met the person that you were asking about on e-budo, Didier Boyet Sensei, the last time I was in Japan. He came to one of our training sessions to practice and afterwards went to a nearby neighborhood restaurant for sushi. Nice, sincere fellow, I didn't know exactly who he was until later. Just thought he was some french guy living in Japan who had been training a long time at Mitsuzuka Sensei's dojo. And that is the extent of my interest in Iaido politics in Europe, zero.

I have NO connection to "European Iaido", and so I could care less what story you are alluding to and have zero interest in trying to play amateur historian investigator. You would have to be talking about ancient history because Mitsuzuka Sensei for health reasons hasn't even traveled from Japan to anywhere for several years. What ever you think you know happened when you were a baby.

This is not the place to show you if I know or not what Seme is, and is not my duty, is your sensei duty, besides, you can learn from a very high ranked teacher, but, this is not warranty of LEARN good iaido. What was your sensei teacher... Mitsuzuka??? well you know for what reason he leaves Japan to went Europe? and for what reason was created the European Iaido Federation?. Please don't answer, this questions, are just to make you investigate.

Darkshader, czumeizu is correct, instruction videos really should be used as reminders of what you are already learning or have learned in class. Your organization may have instruction videos that you should consider first and your teacher should be able to advise you best.
