The moves for the first three counts: 1) one block 2) two blocks 3) kiai and scoop punch. Okinawa 1999
Makishi Sensei
On the first move don't swing the leg, simply cross and set into place. The foot should land at the same time that the first block occurs. Okinawa 1995
Kiai on uraken-uchi, second to last one - last punch on first series. Okinawa 1995
Starting alignment for the chudan-zuki is simply left fist over right fist in chamber. Punch, and left hand opens and is placed over bicep. Okinawa 1995
First move is a morote-barai-uke; it's not a chudan-uke. Osaka Temple 2000
The set of moves where you punch and pull back with elbow drawing downward is more of a Chinese style move, so it has to be done very smoothly and together. It's as though the punch on its way back is going to block an incoming punch as it drops. Osaka Temple 2000
Higa Sensei
Be careful to keep the Morote-barai-uke combination middle block and low block alignment inside the legs, not too far out. Okinawa 2003
Fifth move: on chudan-uke, make the "yank back" very fast. Okinawa 2003
After side block (circular move), the kentsui-uchi hammer strike should emphasize the second half of the move. The speed and power have a distinct change half way through the move. Okinawa 2003
On the supported Chudan-yoko-uke side middle block, place the fingertips, not the palm, on the bicep. This also opens the shoulders. Okinawa 2003
