suggestions for continued work
- 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:
- 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),
- NW: no pursed lips / angry face, no head emphasis
- SC:
- TN:
- WR:
- YT: Mur B needs stronger don (better prep, bigger lean),
