The feet are separated by about the length of one foot. The right foot is firmly
planted on the sole, with the heel slightly raised. The left foot is drawn
back to the rear so that the toe is just in line with the heel of the right
foot and about a foot length away to the left.
The picture below shows the footwork for the various movements in Kumdo. This footwork must be mastered, and the best approach is constant practice. Starting from the shaded position, the Kumdoist moves to the left with his left foot first and to the right with is right foot first. The square or box movement can be accomplished by first moving the right foot to the right, followed by the left foot. Then move the left foot back and follow the movement with the right foot. The next movement will be to the left with the left foot, the right foot following. To complete the box, the right foot is pushed forward, and the left foot follows.
Practice the patterns in the picture so that you can master the movements and maintain position of the feet.
