you turn but don't look. Are you using mental powers to tell you where an enemy is? Your form is okay at best for this. But I do recommend talking to someone that can explain to you why we do each turn, kick punch etc...
@Jagnasty: Only a beginner looks before s/he turns to engage a new opponent. Turning your head to look gives away both your intention and timing to your opponent and ensures your defeat. A yudansha uses peripheral vision, zanshin, and dairokkan to sense the opponents around him/her and react to their attacks.
@flat2lent1 have you ever heard the phrase mae ashi te? the one the japanese masters use it means eyes feet hands that is how you are supposed to transition in that order, what luca vadelsi or michael millon they both turn thier heads before moving
@ShotokanBleach Yes, "me - ashi - te" is a pattern of behavior taught to beginners. You learn structure as a beginner so you can abandon it later. It's part of the progression of dai - kyo - soku - kei (big, powerful, fast, effortless).
