For me, the Triangle Theory and footwork is as on the dummy. We are moving laterally along the baseline, then cutting in toward the point with the appropriate lead leg once the flank to enter from is determined. Simples.

Yep. Same here. Though, the lateral bit is somewhat different. I learned the lateral; but also learned to go laterally but also forward with that same stepping foot. Either way, to me, the cutting in is where the fun stuff lives! ;)

Of course though the dummy can't move, so... There will obviously be more dynamic interplay against a live opponent or with a training partner. As you both move, so too will the angle of the "triangle", base and point. Dummy training simply establishes the basic idea of chasing center and cutting flanks.
