Hi all,
Im really doing my students heads in lately by spending increasing amounts of time on footwork. From my own experience of being a student, there is never enough time dedicated to the 'simple' art of moving. The more time i spend teaching, the more time i dedicate to footwork.
I know mine is far from brilliant and wondered what others views were on footwork and its importance. I for one, stress the importance of footwork early on in my students development, most notably by getting them to practsie nothing else but lok sau and stepping / shifting with no attacks for at least 15-20 mins every class.
Would also be grateful to hear of any videos out there which focus on footwork specifically. I gather Sifu Augustine Fong excels in this area.
Regards, Stuart
