In both sets, you were a little rushed. I will attribute that to nervousness and adreneline, so probably why you weren't "sitting" in your cat stance.
The main thing is, that you were going into the next move before allowing your body to "settle" into the one you were doing, which means that you weren't focused on the strike at the time of execution. Some of your ping choys weren't on center and this is part of it. Forms are like speaking. You need to enunciate, and punctuate, otherwise you have slurred speech and a run-on sentance. This is not speaking just in terms of 'performance,' but in developing proper power,structure,and mental focus.
I would like to see a clip of you doing the set in a more comfortable enviornment for you, where you are relaxed and focused. Doing it in public is nerve-wracking at times. All things considered, it was a very good performance. Keep up the good work!
