Footwork orientated styles
Does anyone know of any good footwork orientated styles. By footwork I mean how you move around your opponent to evade strikes etc.
When I'm sparring in sanshou kickboxing (which is a complementary style to white crane, my main style) I find footwork works for me a lot, especially against stronger opponents. In fact it's the area of fighting I enjoy most, regardless of how important it is in a real fight. I find it so exilrating when I'm shuffling all over the place and my opponent can't quite hit me. I have been applauded for my footwork and it has helped me in competitions a great deal. The trouble is I only know about four actual footwork techniques from my style which work very well. Perhaps I'll learn more in future from my style.
Does anyone know of any styles that are very footwork orientated.

That's not a word. Think 'oriented'. Don't mind me, it's just a pet-peeve.

the bujinkan have some cool footwork too. They are ninja, so their main practice is not fighting someone directly. Like if you shoot in with a strait punch they would more likely move behind you then try to block it. Check it out. Its not for everyone.

Thanks for the replies guys.
TPB orientated is a word, as is oriented. I don't know which is the correct word in this context.

orientated would be used like this "i am orientated enough to handle dooing my taxes"
oriented is like this "he really likes to cook italian food, but his bread and butter is french food. hes mostly a french oriented cook."
i think.

Re:The orientated/oriented debate, oriented would have been the correct word, I admit.
Re:Cliff's post, what is FMA? Filipino MA?
