List of things I need to work on in kendo:
louder kiai
not moving my head when I strike
not moving my body when I strike
tenouchi- squeezing when I strike
pushing off correctly with my left foot (i.e. using my thigh muscle more than calf muscle). Also when pushing off, keeping my left leg straight; actually push with it rather than dragging it
better spirit when I do a back men
more left hand
proper grip (my hands need to be twisted in more)
doing big men/kote/do when I should do big men/kote/do, doing small men/kote/do when I should do small men
do (everything about do)
getting better maai
lifting before I move rather than as I move
improving my speed (My sensei KEEPS saying this one... O_o)
better waza in general
better reaction time after first (missed) strike(s)- When I miss or even when the other person misses, often there is an opportunity but I don't do anything
There's probably a lot more that I'm forgetting but that's what I remember for now.
