Right when you begin the form and between right stance with single bridge and block and horizontal strike, one moves the right foot three times. Any particular reason or just a balance matter?
Thanks

Thanks for all the responses. Reading Lamsaiwing book on KGFF I didn't find any reference about the 3 or 4 foot movement. Is it different from lineage to lineage? Is it new?
Also, I thought that the reason of the movements is to go back to the same start step in seiping ma. So, in the beginning when I start in seiping ma, I move my left leg to the front to a cross stance, block kick, kick and then bow and arrow stance. Shift right foot to the right, foot ball to the right and shift again the foot to the same line I started seiping ma. Does this make sense or is totally wrong?
Thanks,
Mig
