Whatever works is good. Either way can work.

Okay. So I'm dense. How can you lead with the back leg?

Haha, I think he means do you favor having your "power side" hand forward (nearest the opponent, Bruce Lee style), or back (boxing style).
EDIT -
Damn you kimo. Beat me by 1 minute. You'll pay for this. Oh yes......you'll pay. [/scary music]

Here's an info about boxing: The boxing footwork begins with the lead leg forward. From this position the boxer is able to move from side to side, semi circle or shuffles forward and back. BTW, the lead leg is opposite of the boxer's dominant hand. This stance of putting the lead leg forward provides stability if done properly. Now, I wonder if that goes the same with MA becuase in my opinion I will still go with whatever works.

That sounds like what was confusing me. I'm into Aikido where hand and foot go together, like a pacing horse. Where power comes from the hips, not the arms or legs.

Power isn't the whole issue. Speed and movement also count as factors in footwork.

Where power comes from the hips, not the arms or legs. Doesn't power come from all 3? I mean, you can say it's generated from the hips, but that is only part of the equation. I don't think power generation changes from art to art, details might but it's like taking different paths to the same place.
