I just realized I never got in here last Tuesday to let you know how it went. (Thursday & Saturday are off of classes his week due to Spring Break.)
Last Tuesday, we practiced kata almost exclusively. Sensei explained a few of the things I was doing wrong in Takeoko, most notably my 3/4 turns. I need to do my foot turn-in differently, moving the toe instead of the heel, and draw my pivot leg back just a bit further before turning. I was winding up with too narrow a stance after the turn. This helped a great deal.
Practice, practice, and more practice.
Sayonara,
Dan
