back to the lane
- Keep the back foot on the floor; keep the toes under
- Forget circles and go for linear techniques
- Don't try and slam the ball through the lane; it's distance, not airtime
that you need

with runnels around the edge of the mat to stop ukes from spinning off?)

- It's not neccessary to alternate sides
- Only do it sensei's way if it is effective (or they are watching)
