YouTube - Pukulan Pencak Silat Tempur "Evasions"

Tanto1 this is a clip of Reeders silat, if you note they "think" and move in triangles. Notice how tight all the moves are and how he is often even with the front foot of the adversary. Baqua uses the same evasion but steps in circular patterns (bigger) so that you're even with or behind the adversaries rear leg. The strikes would also likely be delivered with the opposite hand to make use of the power generated by the circular stepping. I've noticed the triangle is a half beat concept, thing is while it may be slightly faster it lacks finishing power.
