Sanpo Giri
LOOK first then cut
cut as you turn, dont square hips then cut
Still leaning forward on chiburi
when tip is pointing, keep it there and move hips back first before going into Jodan (this is general point)

Morote Tsuki
first hand to move on draw is LEFT.
Make proper cut to face, more te no uchi
Turn - keep tsuba glued to hip, keep blade parallel. Then step through and cut but keep right hand hand higher than left

MAJOR fault - tip is disappearing down back, left hand ending up higher. Focus on tip

Soete Tsuki
Cut is a diagonal kesa and must time with step back, Dont step back then cut
Dont let blade drop down when you tsuki, keep level
Before doing chiburi, dont raise right hand too high

Kesa Giri
when draw, really move left hand back as you turn saya then aim to punch the sky to cut the upward diagonal cut. Sword path still not great

Tsuka ate
Right Knee forward

Ukenashi
Feet not right again. Dont really know what I am doing. But sword needs be more forward
