1) Mae - bigger cuts! Still too high on first cut. Back foot not straight enough on Noto. Hooking on Noto. Knees hurt a bit.

2) Morote Tsuki - aim for straight cut on head to chin and it will appear diagonal (Jim said).

BIGGEST THING WAS THIS: dont pull the blade back to do tsuki. Keep it in position from after first cut, and then move your body to give power to the tsuki. Don't bring feet up so far that they are even, need to keep stance. If you pull blade back to your centre to do the tsuki, it's telegraphing, and is very weak.

CUTS INCLUDING SANPO AND SHIHO GIRI - finishing cuts too far out with left hand too far from your centre. I could do it when i did it slower. Mick said 'bringing in biceps' has same effect as pulling in left hand to centre. Big elliptical cuts like casting a fishing rod.

3) Nuki Uchi - chiburi was better but still a bit high. Watch this. dont angle tip down either

4) Kesa Giri - Mick reckons blade is about 60% out before you turn saya. Try it. This does make it easier. I was not drawing blade out enough before turning left hand so saya flips

GENERAL TIP - KEEP LEFT HAND MOVING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, USE AS A PIVOT on all cuts, keep blade moving. Makes it more flowing and dynamic

GENERAL TIP - NOTO, absolutely it's about PUSHING saya on with the LEFT hand.
