Bruce had to teach footwork that related to all over fighting .Originally Posted by RoÑky
like the Wing Chun Kung Fu practitioners who taught him before he reshaped it to suit his Jeet kune do before he took it to the world.
I have tried to impart the slight shifts and half steps and full foot swithces that they taught into ,the advanced fighting section on the front page becuase boxers can use these especially up nose to nose fighting either to evade or to get more power.
Boxers are lucky because there is no fear of a knee strike blowing you away as you duck and roll under a fist etc, or a elbow to catch you in the reverse path to your head.
So boxers can use more footwork than any other style fighters.
To use footwork to create better head movement while stepping is at their disposal and only just being discovered by a few.(So your lucky,practice it and you'll be better than most)
To practice slight knee bends while standing square on and lift the outsides of your heels up while throwing shots nose to nose OR Slight Knee bends while stepping out on angles or knee bends stepping back on the angle can create headmovemnts in a U shape or a n shape and to then practice the variations takes your head movments into the full circular O pattern.You practice those steps and bends with your normal ducking and weaving and you'll be alot more evasive and devestaing in your return shots(through weight shifting) than anyone whos gone before you.
