and a little more specific here:

there should be a distinction in the sound, so you hear 2 feet land, one after the other but very rapidly. this keeps you on the ground more than if you just jumped and switched.

i just wanted to know what leg moves first and what one moves last. it turns out i have been doing it right. i guess im just not used to it yet, and thats why it feels funny. ive been doing it like this so when my rear foot lands in the lead position last, i have it land on "the imaginary triangle" (if youve heard kicking described with this) so that its angled for an immediate set up for a kick.
I guess another reason that I thought it might be wrong is because I heard it could be used to avoid attacks. example: someone throws a lead round kick to the inside of your leg...switch step as to avoid, then roundhouse since youre already in a power position. this made me think that the movement was more of a forward and back motion rather than in the same spot...much like shifting in boxing where you also switch stances. did you follow that?
