This video is about a footwork drill to enhance your self-defense training. Footwork is so important in a fight because you need to have solid grounding to launch your strikes and also avoid falling to the ground.
The drill consist in following your opponent as he his moving backwards and alternate by moving backwards as your opponent is moving backwards. You want to stay in the same range to practice moving around quickly.
Make sure that your stance is wide (but no to wide either) to make sure that you have a solid grounding. Keep your hands up ready to strike as you would in a real street fight.
By working on your footwork skills with a training partner, you will learn your range and know how to move correctly in a fight.
You can even do this footwork drill by extending your arm to get a feel of your range in movement. That is a great way to get better at gagging distance in a fight.
