It's called the cage. A backstop. Your opponent running up against something.
Someone can dance around your range extremities all day long, move and stick, head movment, etc. just outside your effective range. WCK doesn't play there. It doesn't do MT leg kicks which is that range, or other long range kicks, or extended punches, etc.
Many WCK families will say just don't react to feints, and only a threat that crosses your bridge has any reality to it. Let them dance and wear themselves out.
However, the other reality is that with centerline forward pressure, you can pressure your opponent out of space if you have a backstop. That's where MMA fighters go to a clinch game, and very few strike from there or do combined clinch / strike. Right there, or just outside right there is the 'phone booth' range.
If any of you actually trained in places that had either cages, pads on the wall, or something you can back someone up against to train on you would know that.
But no, every single @#$#@!$% place you see training WCK instead of something practical like that you see mirrors on walls so all you ladies can see if your lipstick is on correctly.
