good luck with it!
Thank You...
I slowed everything WAY down today during practice, and I started to draw closer to achieving Embusen everytime that I performed the kata, although it's difficult for me to walk now! AHHH!!!! Must make stances deeper!, Must make stances deeper!, Must maintain the same plane throughout the movements!
The good news is that it does get easier over time. You are still new.
Keep in mind that when you are in a back stance you should be able to snap a kick off your front leg with ease and without shifting your balance. If you can't lift that front leg, you are too long and need to shorten up.
Remember shortening up does not mean coming up in the stance keep your but down and most of your weight on that back leg. :whip1:
Yes, I know it does hurt......
