Chinese Kung Fu Sword - Song of Footwork 步法歌

Chinese Kung Fu Sword - Song of Footwork 步法歌 

"Stepping correctly functions to maneuver one to an advantageous position, not to neutralize. Steps are hidden as part of the entire movement, as part of a deflection or cut. This is achieved by the waist commanding the entire body as one unified whole, the spine turning as a steel column. The legs are for changing one’s position, turn the waist to neutralize and enter. With training, the legs and waist become as one." ~ Scott M. Rodel Found HERE
