I've never studied any CMA, I admit that, but he is right here. The FIRST thing I learned about footwork was to NEVER cross your feet. If you are even just shoved you will likely fall, as you have no balance with your feet crossed. If the other guy shoots or comes in punching, you are in BIG trouble if your feet are crossed.
I'll see if I can get him to upload it to Youtube, but a guy at my gym executed a PERFECT Judo hip throw at a BJJ tourny on a guy who had a habit of crossing his feet.
When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.
