Sifu, James. Major kudos on your videos and excellent, clear instruction. Your angling footwork (curve right and drop step) leave me with one small question as I try to reconcile (for example) initiating the curve right with a hook or uppercut. My understanding (in boxing) is that these punches derive their power from the weight shift from lead to rear leg. It seems that pushing forward would result in a weight shift to lead leg which seems to conflict with requirements of the hook and uppercut. Am I missing a subtle aspect of this technique? Thanks for any clarity you can provide.

[@NYMartialArtsAcademy]

Great question. We’ll make a video detailing more footwork while throwing punches (hooks and uppercuts mostly). Weight transfer will be a major topic of that video In a curve step with a hook yes the weight moves to lead leg but the hook still has a lot of power. By moving this way it’s a different body mechanic vs a stationary hook. The curve step combine with turning your hip last second creates the force. The angle keeps you safer than moving straight in. Hope this provides clarity but we’re also dropping a video soon that shows more details on moving with the hook. Thanks for watching!

Do you guys teach the same techniques in all New York locations or each location is different kind of stuff?

[@NYMartialArtsAcademy]

All locations follow a curriculum and guidelines on what to teach. 👍💪

I wanted some genuine advice. When it comes to footwork, especially if you're bringing your feet closer together, doesn't that increase the risk of tripping? And if someone lands a kick or a push, aren't you more likely to lose balance or fall? Appreciate it!

You guys are great. What lineage are you from can I ask?

[@NYMartialArtsAcademy]

Our head instructor is certified under Ted Wong who did the most one on one lessons with Bruce Lee. He’s also certified under Sifu Chris Kent. Sifu Chris is under Dan Inosanto. So we actually have two linages back to Bruce Lee. 👍💪

How do you push shuffle forward with the rear uppercut? Is it even possible?

[@NYMartialArtsAcademy]

Usually not a good idea. You can get countered very easily advancing with a rear uppercut. Typical counter is a hook vs a rear uppercut with the step or push shuffle. Even a looping wide uppercut can be countered with a tight hook in the pocket.
