Your attacks chase after a Boxer if he attempts to bounce away

Depending on how far away an opponent retreats, your pursue can be a one-step, two-step, three-step or multiple-step chase. You should also chase according to his retreating direction, sticking to him like glue but covering him so that he cannot counter-attack you.

It is your strikes that chase after your opponent; your footwork provides the right spacing. Understandably, you may be slow and hesitant initially, but with systematic training your chasing movement must be fast and spontaneous.

You can refine both the smoothness of your movement and the extent of your reach by using appropriate stances. The three main stances are False-Leg, Bow-Arrow and T-Step, which will bridge the space between you and your opponent by half a step, one step or one and a half step respectively. The transition from one to another of these stances makes your movement to be smooth.

Variations in the One-Step Chase

If you cannot reach your opponent with a Bow-Arrow Stance after a one-step chase, you may bridge the gap by shifting you back foot forward near to your front foot in a reversed T-Step. Hence, in a one-step chase you may use a False-Leg Stance, a Bow-Arrow Stance or a reversed T-Stance, which bridge the gap between you and your opponent by half a step, one step, and one and a half step. These variations are very useful for fighting against a Boxer whose bouncing takes about half a step each. This means if a Boxer bounces away three times, you can bridge the gap with just one step using a reversed T-Stance, thus giving you superior technical speed.
