Day 11 was a break day, see my Community post for details. Form Check Challenge, Day 12 of 30, Aug 2026 (1.5 takes) I attempted one take with a happi, but it was far too restrictive, so I made that the half. So technically only one take for this recording. Woah. Ouka (桜華) to Kongou (金剛) Ouka: Why does my OAD look like that? In all seriousness tho, I don't think I bent my waist enough. Pretty sure I was a little too vertical. Hard to tell in the dark...hm...For the triple movement after this, I think my hands were too close to each other. I should have them farther apart, similar to torch. The backswing after the crawls could have been cleaner, another movement similar to the first kongou circle. U can see I did not quite go all the way, so the light trail thins out. My arms will eventually need to reach further back for after these circles. That will come as I get more flexible. Kongou: The drawback before the Narcissa punch is a little awkward and will take some getting used to. Yoruru-sensei's kongou-teaching video is done without lights, so it's a little hard to tell what exactly it should look like with lights. Didn't X my Cloud Thunder...Tho, YRR-sensei's Cloud Thunders (or Tai Chi circles) are sometimes parallel. So maybe it's a stylistic choice(?) My second slash was a little short; I bent my elbow on that one...ew Cross slash light trail looks better, but I still bent my elbow on the first part of it. The kongou circles themselves seem better. The tips I learned from YRR-sensei's video helped a lot. I think my only gripe is that the hand that smacks the other feels like it should still be following instead of floating as I did in this one. Especially on the first circle. I'm imagining it should be similar to the ending of Senpuu Amaterasau, just sped up. Overall, 8/10. For a take and a half, this was pretty good. Some smaller details I keep missing, but if I just keep drilling and seeing it, I should eventually stop missing...right? Hopefully. Also, side note; I should consider adding a tiny bit more light; it's hard to tell what my legs are doing .3.
