Gazelle Step

The gazelle step is an explosive leaping footwork technique used to deliver a lead hand strike. 

To execute, you lean forward, shifting weight onto the front foot, almost as if you were feinting a cross. From there you push off the floor with both feet, but primarily the lead leg, propelling yourself forward and slightly upward (hence the "Gazelle" name).

The gazelle step can be very deceptive as it deviates from standard forward footwork methods (push step, step and slide) and is executed from a position from which you wouldn't expect a fighter to be able to quickly cover much distance.
