Do you find that by moving from a full passing step to this box step that you lose hip engagement and power in your cutting mechanics? I wonder if this method sacrifices martial effectiveness for mobility.

tl;dr: not at all! :D Couple things to highlight from the video: 1) At 10:26 you can see that a full passing step is in fact simply a variant of the whole box step stepping model, i.e. you have a CHOICE to pivot and place your left foot before you step forward with your right; a full passing step is simply deciding NOT moving your left foot. 2) So reframing your question if I understand you correctly: does pivoting / replacing the left foot before doing a pass forward with your right sacrifice martial effectiveness? Honestly, that's up to your definitiion of martial effectiveness, AND how much pivoting you CHOOSE to do with your left and right feet -- YOU get to control this. 3) If you pivot the amount that I'm typically showing: then again no, I certainly don't feel any loss in martial effectiveness. If you're worried about decreased range of motion, I think it's still plenty. I fence with it fine, I can hit and parry with plenty of contact and structure, and for instance I have used this footwork and made multiple clean cuts thru tatami. At the end of the day: people have plenty of experience exploring the full pass; a key point of this video is a full pass is a SUBSET of a broader footwork model. You love the full pass and it works for you, fantastic! If you'd like to explore something that broadens your fencing game -- here's something worth exploring, that ALSO is a complete model for pivoting in general.
