Nagashizuki is to deliver your full potential using a slide from the front foot, but this time moving into a diagonal to strike the opponent. Avoid by pulling the ‘back’ hip offline while thrusting the ‘front’ hip’ in the punching
direction. A common error is to step to the outside or pull the leg along because of rotating the body. The body should not really rotate, it is more like instantly
opening the body. Therefore, the back foot follows the body. Another error is to move too much offline. The point is to stay close to the opponent. The key of this body positioning is to become mahanmi. Thus, the back foot should point (about) 135 degrees outside, like mahanmi neko ashi.
