Step-drag
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
category
movement
plain english
Moving by stepping with the foot nearest your direction of travel and then dragging the other foot to restore your stance.
example
“Step-drag forward” means one small unit of movement, not a walk.
why it matters
It keeps your feet in a boxing stance the entire time, so you are balanced and able to punch at every point in the movement.
common mistake
Letting the feet come together or cross, which means for a moment you cannot punch or defend.
