No apology necessary. To my knowledge you broke NO forum etiquette.

My request was merely because I wanted to take advantage of your experience to review what my thoughts on this, so I asked you to read and criticize my postings.

Of course, you are right about movement really being 360 degrees, and that thinking of it in at least 8 basic directions is an excellent approach -- I started to mention the diagonals in fact, but failed to do that.

Your explaination about right and forward being the toughest direction (for orthodox fighters) is in line with my discussion of the difficulty of "pushing" then the pushing (front) toes are as close to that new destination as anything else -- it's sort of a tractor pull instead of a push.

In that case we are moving FORWARD (and right) but having to move our RIGHT FOOT so it cannot (keep) pushing as it steps and we pivot on the left which is supposed to be pushing.
