Any thougts on positioning of right foot? Straight or slightly turned like kendo kata 7?

[@KendoGuide]

Thanks for your question, Hans Lundberg! 😄 For the tobikomi-do, no matter which side you are going to pass through, your foot should be straight, meaning the toes should be facing where you are going. If you execute a men nuki do or men kaeshi do, the right foot will be angled depending on where you are going to move after striking the dō. Again, the toes should point in the direction that you want to go. Does this help?
