I was told most of the time or 90% on foot work

and only 10% on hand work.

It was from a high school mantis instructor.

Ironically, mantis footwork is considered weak and light

mantis hand work needs a lot of time to learn or work on.

what do you think?

:confused:

100% of the time, I mean, after all, what do we do that does NOT involve footwork ?

or do you punch and grab more

or do you kick and sweep more?

I mean practice wise and actually application wise?

You're choosing to "forget" about all of those wheel-chair MAtists?

As our system is called 8 step we spent over 90% of our training on where, how and when to use our feet defeat our opponents.

I use subtle movements or slides shifts and shuffles to make my applications work perfectly and if my students dont do these same moves properly when they counter, throw or jointlock thier oppononets, thier bodies are usually in the wrong position and they find it hard to complete the app fluidly and effortlessly.

they always say how do I make it look so easy to which I reply............proper footwork.
