    moving the horse

    How do you move the horse? Do you step, drag, slide, or push?

    What is your preference and why?
    Your journey ends at my feet.

    depends on the situation, like all of wing chun

    there are no set techniques

    each has its own advantage

    Usually I like a short huen bo: a short circle with the lead leg.

    It is usually a push across the floor, or a gliding step for speed. When you plant it you can get a well-levered lock on the opponent's knee, and extra rooting for your strikes.

    If my position doesn't give me that much of a 'lead' leg, I move the whole structure by edging forward, creating a lead position, and dragging the 'back' foot. It's well rooted, but very slow... I haven't worked out the speed from that position yet. It's also useless on some surfaces.

    I may step,drag,push or slide in my horse.
    The key for me while moving in my horse is being nontelegraphic.
    Thats what works for me.
