(This is common sense, from injury prevention, which means it's often ignored).
I learned that lesson when learning how to pivot as Sifu Lam's. Even though he has a great cement ground, with a little bit of residue on there to make it a perfect environment to learn (meaning there is little friction with the ground to impede the process), I still twisted from the hip with the knee following but the foot staying behind a bit. Nothing serious but I felt that twist in the knee for a couple of days after words.
