Your first Ippon... the shuto.. attacks straight at the enemy's right collar bone. It is designed to disabale the hand that draws a sword. Other than that it looks good. i am a Shuri blackbelt who trained directly under Three students of OSensei Trias and I am a State national and World Champion in Forms and Fighting in case you question my credentials.

@nandansho I do not wish to question your credentials my friend. I also trained under one of OSensei's students Hanshi Robert Bowles, Shuri style head. In Hanshi's own words and a photo to go with that says "Step down into a right front stance and execute a right knife hand strike to opponent's clavicle." The photo depicts Hanshi Bowles clearly striking the left clavicle bone of the opponent. The knife hand can strike that bone at both angles. Straight forward or over. We trained both ways.

movements are good but your shuto should be cross bodied (striking to the right if striking with left and vise versa)
