Bouncing Footwork is a martial art footwork technique where the fighter standing on the front toes and do skipping-like jump. This technique began it popularity since 90s where lot of Korean Taekwondo and European Sport Karate fighters think this footwork make their mobility more agile.
Sadly, Bouncing Footwork isn’t work for real street fight on in open MMA tournament events. Why?
In Taekwondo tournaments, kicking opponent’s leg isn’t permitted, thats why Taekwondo fighters aren’t worry to using this footwork at their own events. In open MMA events where you will fight against opponents from various dojos like Muay Thai-Kungfu-Kickboxing-Silat or event Brazilian Jujutsu, they will strike your leg and you will fall.
In real street fight, you will fight 2-3 attackers. In Taekwondo and Sport Karate tournament, Bouncing Footwork is consume lot of your stamina and breath, imagine if you ran out of breath while fighting 3 thugs and also have no power left in your body to escape. The End.
Look how Muay Thai and traditional Karate fighters move. No bouncing, no skipping, no stamina wasting and they are ready against leg kicks.
