Problems with sticky feet during rotation in Kata
I'm a relative beginner (8th kyu, half a year of training) in Shotokan. When practicing my Kata, specifically ones with long rotations like the Heian Nidan Nukite to Shuto transition, I feel like I cannot really rotate. It becomes rather "ballistic" with very little control.
Our dojo has a regular school gym floor (Linoleum or something like that) and I tend to get somewhat sweaty feet during training.
It really feels like my soles are stuck to the floor. I'm being told rotation should happen on the ball of the foot, but that's really like super glued to the floor. Rotating on the heel feels at least possible, but I don't have any balance or control that way.
Someone suggested unloading the pivoting foot, but unless I go for a real jump, lifting off entirely from the floor, I don't feel much of a difference.
Interestingly when going from front stance to front stance during the rotation (like Heian Nidan Morote Uke to Gedan Barai transition), it feels a bit easier.
Also, at home, with socks it also feels a lot easier.
Any advice is highly appreciated!
