3:00 warmup and welcome
- stretches
-- personal updates
-- coaching session feedback
-- drum positions with respect to video
least-confident sections
- questions / feedback
-- AD: looks lazy, lower stance and higher arms will help. generally higher energy
-- AI: awkward kick after Daji, no head emphasis
-- AS: Mar/Mur transition, a few over-exaggerated movements like return from Runaway
-- CaM: "purity" of movements confused by extraneous gestures and loitering
-- CB: strikes need to come more from arm than wrist, sequence
-- CJ:
-- CoM: Mur B seq., transitions, responsibility for timing, sequence
-- CS: Cats and Dogs
-- EW:
-- HK:
-- JS: sequence. movement too "even tempered", need "merihari"
-- KK: a little "staid", additional torso rotation and leading might help, greater cat leading dog
-- LR: strikes coming from shoulder too much and need more elbow bend, R arm bent in C&Ds
-- MA: need more powerful strikes, better prep and strike coming from elbow as opposed to wrist
-- MK: Mur B needs stronger don (better prep, bigger lean), Gurgle, Taunt B slow, faster strikes for "merihari"
-- NW: no pursed lips / angry face, no head emphasis
-- SC: for big strikes path of hand during approach should be closer to the body and after rebound should be extended
-- TN:
-- WR: basic stance upper body position needs tweaking, R elbow in powerful strikes looks too vertical
-- YT: Mur B needs stronger don (better prep, bigger lean),
