• Training partner: Grading preparation

• Concerns and Questions: To be feed back to the main tutor

Practice Guide for Sempai (Whole-Part-Whole)

• Demo the whole of what you want to cover first or let your Kohai practice as far as possible

• Point out what is working well first, avoidance, posture etc.

• Pick one thing to correct, and then practice it.
