Yes, but I had just dislocated my left thumb and could only use a limited amount of techniques, so it's not really a good example of TCMA sparring.

I think Gongfu doesn't retain that type of footwork because it doesn't have a history of sport sparring with strict rules on only using the styles traditional techniques in a point sparring match. Also before anyone discredits point fighting, many point fighter she have become great full contact fighters. Raymond Daniels, Machida brothers, Michael Paige, Stephen Thompson just to name a few.
For an art to develop proper footwork/movement for combat or sparring it needs style specific sparring rules IMO. Not sure if I'm making sense. Think I'll shut up now lol.

- use kicks to close the distance and set up punches,
- use punches to set up clinch,
- use clinch to execute throw.
The questions is "Is this TCMA strategy, or Sanda strategy?"
