Anyone else include some footwork drills in their practice?
I know that traditionally footwork isn't really pulled apart from technique,but I think some basic stepping drills help people grasp the concept of moving without bouncing up and down and losing power when they execute technique.
We start with a series of steps:
Straight Step (Regular Step)
Push Step (Off of the Rear or Forward Foot)
Diagonal Step (on a 45)
Step and Pivot (Circle Step..180 pivot on front foot)
Step and Turn (Step and Turn 180 on Heels)
Then we finally progress to mixing and matching the stepping drills to the point where they can be incorporated with the technique.
Thoughts?
