One step.
Fujita sensei uses ashi sabaki which are clear and precise. His favorite movement would be the transfer of his whole body structure in one step. This step is called okuri ashi. Foot movement like this is most used in kendo. One should be in hanmi kamae and push of the back foot. This results in a forward movement where the front foot moves first. The end position will be the same as the starting one. Irimi movement and Hanmi principles are therefore maintained.
Usually his first step is okuri ashi as shown in this clip.
Enjoy practice.
