footwork

[mantis king]

I train in 7* mantis and believe my footwork to be lacking. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about some exercises I could do to improve my footwork.

I don't have alot of experience but you could try these.

Keeping the wait on the balls of your feet, stand in front of a post of something similar. Pretend that the post represents an opponent. Then stand at the edge of you range (should be a couple of feet or so). Then try shuffling around the post keeping the same distance from it and with your centre line in conjunction with the post.

I am sure that some of the more experienced practitioners will have better drills. Have you askled your sifu to help you with this?

Some descriptions of 7* say footwork is based on the big dipper. Does anyone actually do this?
