CONGRATS TO DEREK!
Hojo undo
When in doubt, look at count leader to determine front foot
Sanchin
Get off heels when turning, be on balls of feet
Keep elbows in
Don't be too low, don't bend back leg too much
Slow down
Keep hand flat before sanchin strike, don't curl it up
Keep back foot square toes toward target.
Move feet first then do block/strike
Stay loose then get tight at end
Before doubles, pause in sanchin stance first after last single strike
Emphasize the grab, little finger first, during doubles
First strike in sanchin, aim at belt with both hands...not too low
Kanshu
Keep hands in sanchin position, not too far out
Work on popping the back fist
Pull wauke blocks back with your back. Hit with knuckle of thumb, curve fingers on top hand
Stance shoulder width apart
Keep hands up
Seichin
Don't turn on heels
Use an x with arms, palm facing in, down with left hand and away with right for last part after 2 cat stances
Widen up space of feet
Haraken block, deflect it using arm at angle rather than pushing up.
Seiryu
Out more with initial break, not up, out in deflection, more like a punch
Use left hand to push when “breaking arm”
Pick up knee a little faster and put it down a little slower, cat stances
Hands too close, make blocks bigger, think looser is better…
Sanseiryu
Same as above for cat stance
Slow down
Knee break, keep center of body more instead of over knee
Don't just go up and down on silly finger strike, add finesse
Kanshiwa bunkai
Push block then do more of a windmill with blocking hand
tuck elbow in (sanchin) and pull arm down
Don't announce kata before doing it for bunkai
Yakosuko
Step initiates punch
Finish the blocks first before striking.
Drill #6 blocks...should get low kick with bottom arm only, don't bend...keep arms away from body but move arms toward kick to intercept, but move body back while arms receive kick, keep back straight
#7- move hip and deflect inside with 1st 2 blocks...not so much a down block
Seisan bunkai
Keep thinking about spacing during bunkai
Pinch striking hands together and strike temples not cheeks when defending first attack
Pull down and control after stick attacks, tuck elbow in (sanchin) and pull arm down
Be sure to push down during leg attack…
Toe down in crane...
