Remember what you've learned

Yesterday I mainly worked on trying to be more aggressive. I find it much easier to strike Kote, because it's much closer than Men. My attempt at the Men usually ends up being blocked, whereas my attempts at Do were almost always too low. I think for Do I need to take care not to step too far forwards. For Men, I need to learn how to break the Kamae of the opponent.

Stephan told me not to forget what I've learned before wearing the Bogu. He said that my shinai striked sideways a lot (maybe I was trying to block?) which is inefficient. Should always aim to stike forward and pass by the opponent, then Zanshin.

Question: what's the best way to turn around?
