    Thumbs up apoweyn and evolutionfist

    Nice discussion on tri footwork. Wing Chun has a similar method, found in the dummy form.

    Moving from a bong chor sau (bong sau to the inside of an opponent's bridge - we call this Wrong Bong ), and moving bong to tan sau with a palm strike to the ribs.

    This hand method is accompanied with footwork as per your description. A kinda out-and-then-in motion in one fluid move.

    With regards moving the head out of range against the jab, we tend to do this also with a subtle shift in footwork while raising an arm to bridge (make contact) with the jab. As soon as the jab retracts, we follow. (Receive what come, "escort what leaves", on loss of contact... strike)

    Recently we've been working on a series of sensitivity drills that deal with this: adjusting to avoid an attack, bridging, following the retracting hand (which more often than not opens up an attacking angle).

    The drills involve using a flexible tan, bong or pak sau, and issuing with an appropriate hand attack.

    Yes, I enjoyed Wing Chun greatly. I couldn't imagine understanding what my master is teaching me if I had to learn sticking at this point. That was one huge piece of the puzzle missing from Issin-Ryu. Scary to think I used to fight without it. I guess I was relying on good timing, get in and out quick, or get in and just keep the pressure on. But not much control that way.

    For the record though, I was merely discussing things I have learned in the past. My master's method has no set footwork. The foot just supports the body.

    When I occasionally play without outsiders, they see something and say it is similiar to what they have. But usually they are bigger then me, so if we are doing the same thing and they have the height/weight advanatage, why does it work for me and not them?

    In those instances I quote my master: "I have money, Bill Gates has money, don't say it's the same thing."

    He usually drives points home with things like that.

    Anyway, I love these martial arts.
