Nami Gaeshi

This is one of the nami gaeshi (returning wave kicks) in the kata Tekki shodan. 

Used to be my foot would hardly reach the other knee ...

... And my body weight would lurch towards the support leg.

Clearly I get it higher now. ;)

And I hardly shift my body weight at all.

This is a still frame from video I shot today for Kancho Sims sensei, as I have a question for him about something I've been experimenting with in this kata.
