I was wonder if anyone was familiar with the passing step that Kwok Wan Ping demonstrates here.
Edit: The time stamp feature doesn't seem to work when sharing here, but skip to the 5:00 mark to see the footwork I mention.
I am not (yet at least) a Yuen Kay San WC practitioner, though the lineage does interest me.
It seems kind of like a hyun or biu-ma combined with a passing step similar to the footwork from the baat jam dao, and reminiscent of the kind of passing steps that you see in many HEMA or Japanese weapons based arts.
I was wondering if this sort of footwork is common in other lineages as well, and what its general application is far. It seems good for closing distance quickly, and perhaps for flanking to the outside or getting in deep for a throw. Not to mention stepping off line in the case of weapons.
