Open lesson → - Speed Rhythm and Error Checking
Learn how to increase speed while keeping the total stable, the rhythm controlled, and errors small enough to catch quickly.

Open exercise → - Speed rhythm check
This sequence is meant to test whether speed still preserves the full running total and not just the last place.
Open exercise → - Error recovery sequence
This drill is designed to help learners practice a quick internal check after the direction changes.
Open exercise → - Sign-change anzan
This anzan drill focuses less on size and more on surviving the sign changes without losing the total.
Open exercise → - Mental ladder finish
