Sharing some learning points from a sparring practice match I had with a single-handed Jian.
1) Long distance stepping. Notice that when I initiated the attack, my right leg took a complete step forward, by shifting my body's weight in a controlled manner.
In contrast, what we commonly see are people making quick, short, snappy & explosive footwork. This is probably because people instinctively know that long distance stepping is slower, and hence the chances of success will be greatly reduced.
2) My first thrust was a feint, designed to make my opponent react. When he reacts, I switched over to cut his forearm on the other side. This is one way you can deal with the disadvantages of long distance stepping.
3) Sink your weight, and move by shifting around. So that you can be ready to move in any direction. In contrast, many sparring videos on the Internet show people merely walking in a regular fashion. Or, they could be sinking their weight, but that composure gets broken once they decide to make a move.
