triangle footwork
has myriad applications.. I use it a lot both with sticks and boxing sparring. hidden within triangle footwork are the boxing techniques of adding power to punches, as it angles your hips each time you step.. I haven't seen the dogbrother video yet, as I only ordered them last week.. so I'm not too sure what applications you mean.. could you be more specific and maybe I have some advice..
I don't find them risky for a couple of reasons. first of all, it's an extremely efficient method of dodging.. it takes you to the outside or inside of your opponent (depending) which is a standard movement in any fighting system.. they allow for a quick switch of the hips (you'll find them used in wrestling and muay thai for this) so they can really mask where your attack is coming from.. they also give a quick solution to dealing with a circling opponent when you only want to pivot at the center, not counter circle.. I find them useful, likewise, for getting behind my opponent in a "duckunder" type move from high school wrestling..
but like I said, I'm not too sure what application you are referring to, so I can't really respond specifically.. more info?
