Straight back-forth movement
Footwork
D K Asked 8 years ago
Hello Alois and Jeff
today I did shadow play from your Triangle footwork for defenders,and I realised how bad I am,because I managed to do only about 5 triangles before nearly passing out from exhaustion.
Does it mean that I am physically in very bad state?
Anyway,it was not my main question: I felt quite fast moving sideways,but in compariosn very slow when moving back/forth despite using the same movement pattern.
What can cause this?
And what should be my movement technique when I want to move straightly back/forth without exposing one side too much?
(because while shuffling I unavoidably turn side to the table.)
Thanks
DK

Hi DK,
The in and out movement is still a sideways shuffle. This is a movement that we don't tend to practice enough, especially for defenders. Make sure you do a lot of this practice as a defender.

When doing a Triangle move,yes it is shuffle.
But this way you are moving still from a corner to the middle.
I just wanted to know if it is also good to do a shuffle when I need a full-speed back/forth movement..for example from the middle of the court to the middle of the table.
I ask because I have seen various running or jumping while standing square to the table from World defenders.
