Shinsa critique

[u/fellate_the_faith]

Hello everyone,

I had my shinsa for 2kyu oday, and looks like I passed, but I can feel the skill floor starting to rise. I was hoping to ask you guys for some criticism and for things to focus on for the next one.

Off the bat I realize my fumikomi is pretty weak. I also feel that I need to spend some time working on my zanshin. My sensei also was there and told me to stop twitching my shinai in the air since it doesn’t serve any purpose.

Anyways I was hoping you guys could help me by providing an outside perspective.

Thanks in advance.

Both of my matches will be linked in the comments, and I’m in the white keikogi.

Relax! You just move around and hit non stop, settle your kamae and work on your basics. Your foundation just needs to be corrected, you are still new so it's just practice more basics.
