Bassai Dai

Just an un edited video of me doing Bassai Dai. Taken about a month or so after my other video. I feel I have improved but still I am dissapointed.

good! :)

The kata was...ok

Comments:

1) You did not finish where you started, 2) There was no distinguishing between apponents - don't just rush into the next apponent, show that there are other apponents, 3) some of the stances are either too wide or not deep enough. Good Luck

It starts at :31 - your toes come up and the ball gets real light. In the turn at :39 - :40 your right foot wanders. At :42, the left foot. At :53 the right foot again. :055 - turning the knee and foot out so early weakens the kick. Etc., etc.

Try to keep at least one foot in solid contact This will bring more muscles in the groin and the hip-thigh connection into play to power your technique.

Very good, but you need to take more care what your feet are doing. Throughout the kata they are playing pattycake with the floor instead of providing a solid connection for power. This will greatly improve your technique. Ex: When standing up from the double strikes, you are pushing with your front foot instead of pulling with your back foot. This puts you into Kyo as you fall up instead of gathering yourself. Ex: In the shuto-uke series your foot gives the strike no base to hit from.

Nice kata. Keep working hard and you'll improve even more.
