Next, we’ll do Do and Gyaku Do. I just said this about kote as well but for example… When you miss a strike with kihon, You can’t stop there. It’s unheard of in shiai to stop like that so…
…make sure you finish the strike and strive to make an ippon even if you miss slightly. The same goes for Do. Go for that ippon and finish the strike even if you miss slightly. Got it? And make sure you hit the target in front of you.
Don’t strike from the side. From the front. Gyaku do is the same. Seme for men, and strike in front of you. Got it? Ok, Do and Gyaku Do. When you strike do you go in smoothly. But when you do kote and men, you make unnecessary movements.
When you strike do, it’s good like this. Strike more precisely. You are making unnecessary movements. You should strike directly like going for men, but you are putting this movement in there. Mak seme with your left hand from kamae… That’s it. Next is tsuki.
When you do tsuki, It’s tempting to thrust with just your hands like this. But instead of this, move with your body. If there is a white line here… Move your body so that you can jump over that line time this. Without breaking your kamae.
If you can’t do it at first, Thrust while keeping your kamae. Jump forward with your whole body. Imagine jumping over this line and thrust with the movement of your whole body. And if you make sure your left-hand stays steady, you won’t miss it so easily.
After that, it is a matter of where you stretch your arms with which kind of maai while doing seme. If your right hand becomes even a little bit too strong like now, your tsuki will miss. Got it? Ok tsuki from omote and ura. Three times. Your feet. Jump. Jump over the shinai.
Jump over rather than doing tsuki. That’s it. Try again with that feeling. yes. Jump. Don’t break your kamae when you thrust. Jump. You’re not jumping. Jump. One more. Without breaking your kamae. Good. Now just thrust more strongly. Jump over the shinai. Once more. Focus on your feet. Okay jump. Good. Very good.
Your right leg is going inside too much. Kamae for a second now, Make a tsuki. That’s good but your leg went inside too much before.
