In the katas there’s a lot of turning and rotating that can get kind of confusing, so we wanted to write this blog post and create the video to help you folks out with this!
MAWATTE
To preformed the mawatte get into Zenkutsudatchi move the back leg across your body and turn your body while remaining grounded. When finished you’ll be in Zenkutsudatchi facing the other direction.
The 270 turn
A lot of people have problems with the 270 turns in the kata at first, lets break it down. First do a mawatte, then from there just step out to the left staying in Zenkutsudatchi. See the video for a breakdown.
