So here is my progress so far on the TPLA Shii Cho dulon. I'm in need of input as to how I should improve, what I should focus on, and what I'm doing right. Have at it and hold no punches!

Truthfully the whole looked very clean and more so, focused.

Your posture and eye contact showed a strong attention to maintaining your lines.

The only issue at all would be a sense of going through the motions...because you were going through the motions lol.

So it came across as practice rather than practiced, if that makes any sense at all.

A certain lack of fluidity would be my only thought to be worked upon, otherwise quite good indeed.

One of the tougher aspects of katas, especially in a solo application, is the lack of reaction and response to your movements.  A strike across or down takes on a different meaning when you make contact with another person or their saber.  So if there are no others to counter with, consider how they would react and follow through and reset as appropriate.

But this is quite minor and more of an advanced consideration...I was impressed with your position, posture, and focus.

Well done!

Thanks for the share braveheart Cheesy

Instead of move-stop-move-stop, why don't you try a variety of tempo?

Like move-move-stop-move-stop or move-stop-move-move-move?

I hope my meaning is clear.
