Hey Dmitryi

Question for you... IIRC, you also fight predominantly right foot forward, but fight from Duke Paul's school, is that correct?

If so, how do you reconcile and teach others the different body mechanics of your style? Through work in the gym and in front of mirrors, I've been able to determine how I generate force and power, but would like another's opinion and viewpoint.

It's only the foot placement that's different. The mechanics of the body are the same -- My right (sword-side) hip is still cocked way back, even if the foot is forward.
So, really, the way I teach is show the Bellatrix stuff.
