MOVING TO A SIDE TO ATTACK
An effective way to defeat an opponent is to move to his side to strike him. If you move agilely, you can often catch him by surprise. An important skill to achieve this is good footwork. Reversely, good footwork is needed to counter such an attack, with an appropriate movement of the waist. An unskilled person may try to counter using only hand movement, which will result in his being in an awkward position.
