summary
Moving in any direction while staying in stance the whole time — the basic unit of boxing footwork.
steps
- • To go forward, step with the lead foot first, then drag the back foot up to restore the gap.
- • To go back, step with the back foot first, then drag the lead foot back.
- • Going sideways, the foot nearest your direction moves first. Always.
- • Keep the gap between your feet the same throughout. If they touch or cross, you cannot punch or defend.
