You're completely dropping and opening your guard in the middle, might want to work on that. :) try to use the handwork in the guard to transition through guarded positions, instead of abandoning and re-establishing it.

I don't know how the mechanics are exactly on your style, but your spine seemed a bit stiff too. Not sure if that's even on your instructor's radar though.

Does your style normally switch sides at the end of the spin kick? It's not a bad thing to do, but it forces you to be and think symmetrically in practice; arts that use that stance generally don't.

Your base foot was pointed forward on the roundhouse, indicating the hips were too closed. Common issue, but you'll want to turn the base foot further, probably until the heel is facing the target for how you use them, to preserve your joints if nothing else.

Hello chrisw08,

As you already have a thread for these videos, I am going to go ahead and close this one and direct you over there.
