Move your front foot first or move your back foot first?
In the following video, when he moves forward or left, he moves his "front" foot first, his back foot then follow.

He can also move his "back" foot first, his front foot then moves forward or moves to the left.
What's the difference here? Which method do you prefer and why? Your thought?

You say you want to dissect martial technique, yet all you seem to basically see is do what's right in the moment, which makes sense.[Dissection]Where do you get what's right to do in that particular moment?[Dissection]Your correct action is based on your interpretation[Dissection]Your interpretation is based on your assigning values to actions you presumed you'd face-you'd have to do drills or study what to do when things happen. The things you assigned are not givens for correct actions and easier said than done. Yes you do one step first or the other but where's your understanding coming from if you have any, for What makes you choose which step-Do you think people should just automatically /naturally know? Don't you think you need to understand how to interpret moments; and your understanding of the moments goes to your choosing which leg first which step first?
Throwing doesn't just happen because you say so on paper. If that's your experience then please excuse me O Sensei Ueshiba
There's things called distraction and being distracted. When Stuff goes down, some freeze(distracted), some think of loved ones(distraction), some might think what techniques they should do(distracted). If you can have the presence of mind to act even unexpectedly [Yes, expect the unexpected] and suitably to the situation...O.K. Buddha.

To strike them in the groin you have to reach down there exposing your top or distancing you because you used your foot instead of your shin or knee...it can have a high chance of success, but not all drop or stop long if you connect well. It's worse if you glance off the thigh. And at some point now they close to punish you. Groin shots reduce in chances of success the more you try them. Stepping in could work, stepping back could help. Side stepping with a guarded technique could get you through to the next seconds. Even stepping in a good direction with a good foot first What's your top action..attack-press, push/buck, guarded--deflect, block, capture; evade--rear, feint, slip?
Do you still see No dissection...one might wonder.
