Seme (攻め):
- I may be applying my seme (攻め) too strongly. I may need to ease from "as much as possible" to "strong" from time to time, almost like a feint so my opponent feels like he has an opportunity to attack.
- All too often I apply seme (攻め) trying to make my opponent think I'm targeting a specific target and then hit another one. In retrospect that's stupid and what people would expect. I should consider applying seme (攻め) such that my opponent can not tell what target I will attack.
- The times that I attack and fall short, it's probably because I had shifted my balance backwards while reacting to my opponent's seme (攻め) , which slows down/shortens my attack. Also, my opponent is ready to shift back after applying seme (攻め).
- I am not approaching tsubazeriai (鍔ぜり合い) as an opportunity for ippon (一本). I am looking to back out, reset, then get ippon (一本). This is not good. I should make my efforts from tsubazeriai (鍔ぜり合い) towards scoring ippon (一本).
- I need to practice more hiki waza (引き技). Think about how many times I have practiced kihon Men (基本面), just to get to this stage.
- Backing up a step from tsubazeriai (鍔ぜり合い) is like stepping in from issoku ittou no maai (一足一刀の間合い). It is stepping in to the maai (間合い) or distance from which an attack can be made instantaneously. I need to be extra careful then.
- Observe your opponent practicing hiki waza (引き技) in order to better know when an opponent is about to attack/retreat. Then practice either evading/hiki waza (引き技) at the same time or counter and chase.
- New practice for hiki waza (引き技) 1: Motodachi (元立ち) does hiki Men (引き面) while shidachi (仕立ち) attempts to hit hiki Dou (引き胴) at the same time. This should help teach when your opponent is going to attempt hiki waza (引き技).
- New practice for hiki waza (引き技) 2: Motodachi (元立ち) attempts hiki Dou (引き胴). Shidachi (仕立ち) blocks and counter with hiki Men (引き面). Another variation could have motodachi (元立ち) attack other targets instead, I think.
