Note:
Class of 7, with 2 Senseis. Sokumen has less steps compared to Nikajo, I thought it would be simpler to explain the techqniques...yet I was wrong.

As I started watching people doing the techniques...I had to notice/realize people moving quite differently. It doesnt mean they were not doing the steps correctly, was more for the angle/distance...it was much of one way street instead of make one technique into one with two people...it was quite shocking for me to see and realize not knowing exactl way to lead them to event the way I do it.

I wanted to make the class more with crispness, going forward energy....I could have led kihon dosa a bit faster and make the points clearer to have that feeling throughout the class.

Now, I come to think of it...I guess the way people were doing the technique was a reflect of how I was leading the class. I was too busy sending out the message (as loud as I could yet not loud at all...), I could not have feel how it was received.
