1. Footwork is simply the way you get around.  The footwork practiced in the martial arts is designed to let you move quickly without losing balance.  In a self-defense situation, you need to be able to avoid attack and maybe to counterattack too.

Footwork practice is not glamorous, but it is necessary if you are going to remain stable in a dynamic situation.

In the video, Dan Inosanto demonstrates some of the fundamental footwork Bruce Lee practiced and taught as he developed Jeet Kune Do.
