Great Gary. Looking forward to it. Yes #1 is part of basic Sabaki/Enshin strategy and it looks like #2 is reinforced by that.

I need someone with a good video camera and the knowledge to upload it.
I'll talk to Monty, he's an expert.

Does it also pick up sound? I think it has an on board Mic and a hole in which to plug an external one

The only way to overcome fear is through it, not around it.

The competition area Renzo, although it works in dojo sparring as well.
Sorry, but with the house move etc I'd genuinely forgotten all about this.
Going senile!

Footwork for striking is as necessary to be any good as proper position is for grappling, BJJ, Wrestling, Judo, etc. Unfortunately, good footwork and using it with proper technique/combinations is missing from a lot of people's skill set. This is one of the main reasons why I became such a fan of Anderson Silva because when he was in his prime his footwork was superb...and he made it look easy most of the time. I'm not saying there isn't good footwork in your dojo, style, and so forth but I am saying I see it missing a lot in general. I have seen some Kickboxing and Thaiboxing gyms that have bad footwork which have always blew me away. However, I would say at just about any boxing gym that has produced any fighters, you will find some good footwork. Unfortunately, a lot of that footwork is some times low to the ground and bobbing & weaving isn't something I recommend to anybody when the opponent can kick and knee. Low to the ground often will make your kicks/knee much slower. Bobbing and weaving can get you KO's when kicks/knees are allowed, I have seen it happen to people that I still call friend today. However, not everything works the same for everybody and that's up to you and your instructor to hopefully figure out sooner than later . Osu!

I'm a firm believer that if one doesn't understand footwork, and/or isn't trying to learn proper footwork, well, that person might as well do something else that's not the martial arts, like, knitting or cooking or whatever else. I'm also a firm believer in Tai Sabaki. When you're being attacked, your centerline is being attacked. Transitioning is critical, but it's not just moving, it's knowing how to move and how not to move. In Shindokan, we're taught to never ever back-up of our own accord, but to transition in angles, both small and large, to avoid and to claim said precious real-estate, but oftentimes, only at the very last second. Even then, footwork is not diametrically opposed to making necessary corrections within Tuite either. Our brand of Tuite makes very small transitioning footwork to create those off-angles that benefit us, but not our attacker; a game of chess!!
