SHIN SHIN MUGENDO

Footwork Patterns

The Shin Shin Mugendo Footwork Drills,
created by Sensei Ben Otake,
are designed for moving to advantageous positions.
There are two footwork drills.
The first is meant to position your body
using shifts, double steps, and pivots.
It is useful when dealing with punches or kicks.

The second footwork drill is shorter and more circular,
and is intended for use with locks and throws.
Both steps are intended to be used in conjunction
with the figure eight arm movements.
