Footwork (Phase 1)

1. Basic Footwork
Step first with the foot which is closest to the direction you are heading, then the other foot follows returning you to your stance. Typically taking small steps, at about half a foot per step.
-Forward - Front foot steps, then the back foot follows.
-Backward - Back foot steps, then the front foot follows.
-Left - Left foot steps, then right foot (moving directly sideways).
-Left Curving - Left foot steps then slightly pivots as you step with the right (so that you are again facing your opponent).
-Right - Right foot steps, then the left (moving directly sideways).
-Right Curving - Right foot steps then slightly pivots as you step with the left (so that you are again facing your opponent).

There are essentially two versions of the shuffle step. The Step and Slide and the Push Step.

a) Step and Slide The Step and Slide is the slower, more plodding version where you are essentially picking up the first foot, moving it in the direction you want to go as you shift your weight into that foot to move your body.

b) Push Step With the Push Step (Push Shuffle) instead of just transferring weight to move you in the direction you want to go, you are also going to quicken the motion by pushing with the opposite foot.  So if you are moving forward you push off the floor with the back foot. If moving backwards, you would push off the floor with the front foot.

2. Slide Step 
Used to quickly cover more distance than what can be done with the shuffle step.
-Forward - Back foot moves first, then the front. Can be a small step (back foot takes a small step forward) or a larger step (back foot slides up just behind or to the side of the front foot).
-Backward - Front foot moves first, then the back. As with the forward side step, this can be a small or large step.
