FOOTWORK - The Basics

Perhaps the most important martial arts skill is the proper execution of steps. The correct footwork is of utmost importance if you aim to survive in a conflict. Below are the basic steps in my system.

1. Diamond closed & open.

2. Female triangle or forward triangle an offensive step.

3. Male triangle or backward triangle a defensive step.

4. Closed female triangle.

5. Closed male triangle.

6. Side stepping with emphasis on zero count. Also the fencing step forward or backward.

7. Karate side stepping.
