To bounce or not to bounce?

[Kyokushin]

I don't bounce, but I do keep my distance so that my opponent has to step up to attack me. Then I just side step and stop his attack and counter. I've tried bouncing, but found it to be distracting. It's harder for me to read my opponent and their style of fighting if I'm moving around too much. Although don't just stand in one spot. Still move around some. Of course if bouncing doesn't distract you it's not a bad thing.
