Interesting, just checked and it seems to be stricter, since I’ve also had 68 nagewaza techniques as part of the theoretical evaluation set. Doesn’t seem to be something made to ease things, but perhaps I’m not reading it correctly.

Yes, from my quick read - it seems to be only harder/stricter in various areas. So maybe they are trying to raise the bar in people becoming Dan grades?
