Does side to side movement work?

[jms]

Why are you calling running/taking the feet off the ground side to side movement?

Good question I was wondering when somebody was going to ask that question.in the video wright talked about running away from your opponent and he started doing the side to side. I have been hearing that word among trainers more and more as of lately referring to side to side as running.where moving 1 foot at a time is referred to as circling.

Ok so you're trying to make a distinction between circling (which you believe is good) and side to side movement (which you believe is bad). Would have been a much better thread if you actually communicated that idea from the start.

I didn't say that you said that! I'm merely comparing the two styles.fact. since I do the side to side if that helps. do you do the side step JMS?

Not often, maybe if I need to get out of a corner. I do prefer what you're calling circling most of the time.
