Splitting the circle...

A concept that I don't begin to understand outside of straight line stuff?

How do circular footwork based attacks and straight (centerline) attacks differ? The diagonal patterns of footwork in silat can be deceptive feints to open the center line targets.

That probably reveals my ignorance well enough? LOL

Sorry if my naivety is patronizing... I really am THAT new.

Thanks kindly.
