| Suggestions For Improving Footwork
Hey guys, I've recently been discovering that my footwork has become the weak link in my game. If anyone could prescribe any drills or routines to help me out I would appreciate it.

| If you don't have something specific to work on, I'd think that just general footwork practice, combined with other excerise, would be your best bet. |

| I'd say pay close attention to your form. Practice a lot of repetitions at low speed. | |

| Schroedinger's cat just simply ment that before you opened the box there were two possible realities at that moment: 1) The cat was alive 2) The cat was dead. Once you opened the box and saw what happened then one of those realities was destroyed, so in essence there were two realities going on at the same time in the box before the outcome was found out.

| also try and focus on distance control as well as good basic footwork.
often 'bad footwork' is bad reading/control of distance rather than a technical problem with the footwork. So mix in distance control drills as well as working on the basic smoothness of your footwork and tempo transitions. | |

For any given cat in any given box there are not two possible states (unless the lid was on to tight, poor kitty, but that is not a quantum event and can be worked out with a stopwatch). | |
