Get myself to where I am about to fall

I have realized the spot/cliff where I need to put myself at along with the opponent after tying him up with me. That is the spot/moment where I need to rotate. Another way to say it will be the spot where gravity is matched. That is the spot that I am vulnerable, about to fall, I feel fear, so I don't want to get there, and often stop myself too early before I get there.

John Upshaw's feedback on my sword form

1. The right elbow/hand rotates inward and sword hand rotates inward and towards direction it is going before you step. 
2. The right elbow/hand rotates inward and sword hand rotates inward and towards direction it is going before you step. There is a little bit of a positive before going out and striking with another positive circle.
3. When stepping forward with your left foot, it lands in an invert manner causing your body to coil. The sword is the released, powered by the release of the coil.
   When you cut the grass to seek the snake....the rotation is on the left knee....it is like a hinge...the rest of the body is like a door. I see your right knee stepping and thus collapsing...that should be one piece, like the door, that rotates on the hinge.
