Sorry but try it, your body moves back with your front foot,you bring your front foot all the way back behind your rear foot.your body moves a full two feet (thats centre line to centre line), if you repeat the move it goes through two angle shifts and four feet.You still have to cover your self as you go so you dont leave the famose hole in the guard as you change glove for glove.
