Thank you

I shall try it during my next keiko.

Kendo-Guide.Com: Please ask your teacher first. I don't know what grade your are and your kendo level. It is not something you want to do when you are below shodan.

ashi sabaki
by: Val Serezhkin

To continue do topic.

I have seen Japanese kendokas doing do uchi without fumikomi and ayumi-ashi not okuri-ashi during and after their do uchi until zanshin. And it was valid cut. I am in doubts. 

Answer: Good eyes. We all learn the basics first. Then when you become certain level, we use many kinds of ashi-sabaki (footwork) anytime.  The basics is there so we can learn more complicated footwork later.
