Outstanding, cross. I'm guessing he saw your motivation. It's hard to resist teaching someone who earnestly wants to learn. Let us know how it goes.

| Had my first session this arvo. Was great, really broke down the techniques and only worked footwork and the jab. Looking forward to next time. |

How in-depth do you get into the footwork, cross? I know that it is an important aspect of boxing, and would be anxious to hear anything you have to offer.

At this stage it was pretty basic(although i dont see that has being a problem, and its probably the reason why boxing footwork is so effective), but we focused on correctly moving forward, backwards, circling in both directions, throwing the jab while moving each way (strike with footwork), always returning to the correct fighting position after each movement. |

Do you find it different from other MA? Wider stance?

Very nice. That is what I would like to know that I am doing right as well. I work on punching and circling the bag, trying to make sure I am set when I punch, and the like. However, I don't do much walking backwards and punching, seeing as the bag won't follow me.

One thing my JKD instructor noticed the first night was how often I cross my feet. He said it was a good way to get my feet tangled, although I don't recall ever having done so. My MT instructor never mentioned it.
We could probably all use work on our foot...work.
