Shotokan heian nidan help

[chrisw08]

As some know i am self learning shotokan karate at home. I have got heian shodan down except for the final knife hand block move as far as exactly how to work your fingers position your hand and how to come forward and back with it. Any help like a video tutorial of more specific ending of the kata would be helpful thank you. I just want to get it down right.

I echo my words in the other thread. However, would like to add this to this thread:

One key to learning hand manipulation in such movements is feedback from a makiwara. You are fooling yourself if you think by posting questions like this and studying a video that you will learn an acceptable version of any style's kata. If there is no "shotokan" schools in your area, seek out another style that works better for you. It isn't about the style, it is about the student and their instructors.

What area do you live in? Sometimes it's a lot more beneficial to train in what's available so you can actually obtain proper instruction.
