    1 large step vs. 2 small steps

    When you move

    - "1 large step" and change from right side forward to left side forward, your center will be exposed to your opponent during the process. You are fully committed and change side. This is the normal walking pattern.

    - "2 small steps" by stepping your back foot to touch your leading foot, and then step your leading foot again, you will not expose your center to your opponent. You are 1/2 committed, much safer, and not change side. This is not the normal walking pattern.

    Both footwork will cover exactly the same distance.

    Do you train all your techniques in both footwork, or some techniques in one and others in other? Do you walk on the street with "1 large step", "2 small steps", or mix of both?
