Learning the form correctly is not the end for sasen practice. It has to be elevated to the point of deadly accuracy.

It should be more than a migi katate tsuki to the air. The mind set should be between life and death. Doing it more than form is to do it without telegraphing the motion, the uchitachi performs shomengiri otoshi intended to cut you into two in full spirit. Not just kata, but uchitachi at actual speed and with an intention , there you will know the level of your technique.
