Re: Sticky problems

Iīd presume, that if your feet are sweating so much, it should actually work rather like a lubricant than like a glue ....

Well, seriously, I dont think that the problem is in your sweating feet.
If you canīt turn properly for sabaki, then you probably leave your foot flat on the mat while turning.
Try to lift your heel a bit up and do all the turning on the palm.
And also - very important to keep your knees in a healthy condition - the twisting must be between palm an mat and never within the knee. This joint is not built for a twisting movement. So try to push the heel into the turnīs direction.
