Make your corrections more specific
“Stay square” is a cue.

Control the release.
Understand the kick slide, efficient steps, and how to restrict the receiver’s space without opening the gate.
Strike with a purpose.
Connect the hands to the eyes and feet. Learn how the strike changes with the technique and the receiver’s release.
