Regular, weekly practice.

Vivian Lee
Notes: 

cold run
- rhythmically technical parts (nya, gichigada) need work; should be easy to improve by trying to use the techniques in improv
- final spin needs to be really confident as ender; use drill
- Ketchup (where L hand stops in space and waits for R) needs more work

Kayak arm swing drills, focused on elbow bend, torso turn to allow for "planar" arm swing to rear, and bachi lag (exaggerated with take bachi)

Looped Ketchup, with focus on L hand stopping in space and staying stopped until next strike.

Looped final spin of Corax, using mirror to check arm positions (whether they are high enough), and working on balance during spin.

Took turns improvising and trying to use the "nya" and "gichigada" techniques.
