I will be going to my second Taikai next month (can't wait), I felt that I did well last year and won my first macth, the second I lost because I went out of bounds. It's hard when you're being instructed to do something outside of your comfort zone, I think that when you are told to do something you should think of it as maybe he's telling me to incorporate it or be more consious of defending a bit more. When you go up in the ranks, you will notice how much of a asset it really is because you have more control when you know what the other person is doing. The only advise I dare give is to try to stay in control, keep your center line protected, stay relaxed and just let you body react naturally.
