Practice was a welcome return, and the first time I'd seen Sensei in a while. The focus seemed to be on beginners and kihon-waza, with the lift-up-all-the-way and then strike-forward-with-body-first-into-the-cut waza which we did over and over again, but which I didn't quite follow through with well enough. My problems remained pretty much the same: although my harai-kote has gotten a whole lot better, I dont' follow through consistently enough on kote, and often when I cut men I don't cut down far enough, trying to go too much over the opponent's sword rather than a straight-on men-uchi.
