So I was watching the Jet Li's new movie "Huo Yuan Jia"
I like the fight scenes on the 6 story high Lei Tai.
Zhao was on a horse stance and said I landed my feet and grew roots or Luo Di Shen Gen.
Jet Li was moving a lot and attacked at different angle.
I know it is just a movie.
Just for the fun of it.
Which you stress more?
Stay put and fight off everything on the same spot.
or moving around a lot with light steps and strikes at different angles ?
Pros and cons.

Doesn't it depend on your particular attributes. Can you move fast and accurately while staying rooted in your stances? Are you a rock who can counter-effectively? Styles are built around this question.

I wait for my opportunity, i make my "point", then am still again. I don't like to waste energy dancing around my opponent. I'm all for moving around my opponet in an effort to evade, block, counter, and attack, but the movement must have purpose. If I'm not attacking and he's not attacking why waste the energy. I don't feel that I plant my feet, but neither do I work the angles as much as I should.
I'm not saying my method is better, it's just the way i like it. I feel it has a kind of poetry to it.

Mobility is everything.
Starting the far queue
I tend not to move around too much when I spar, but that is just because I need to work on my footwork. I think it is important to be able to move, or to hol dyour ground as the situation dictates.

Depends on how my opponant is fighting. Yin/yang thing. If they are dancin', I stay still 'cept to keep myself more or less squared with them. If they are inclined to stay still, I move. Don't really dance, though. I prefer a cat-like stalking type movement. I try not to get out of root either way, though. I loose my root, I fall down at the smallest hit.
