Do you do KARATE footwork or some weird hybrid thing? Do you Know?

Of interest to me would be how you step forward. Do you keep your mass over your forward foot while bringing the back foot forward. Do you bring your back foot forward while also bringing it near the front foot? Does the back foot move in a straight line, or inscribe an arc?

Good information. Most schools don't teach the traditional practical aspect of this part of art. I believe due to most weren't taught it, and it's hardly taught any more. The great kickboxers learn these things. The traditional art, that was developed for true combat. Vs, points, and forms. Balance always maintained in all you do, similar to this video, is considered your basic foundation in boxing. Which is why boxing is a great foundation to have before taking most martial arts

Like walking bare foot on a gravel driveway. Front foot goes down with little weight, then gently transfer the mass to center. You should be able to pick the front foot up very quickly and change if need be. Hunters do this also so they don't walk heavy in the woods. You know it's right when it is quiet.
