How to learn to strafe jump in Quake3

quake-3

I have read tutorials, watched videos, still can not strafe jump (movement by bunny hopping with gained speed) in Quake 3.

Do I need specially made maps for it to work?

Is there some settings I need to change server- or client-sided?
Perhaps a good tutorial showing hand movement and keyboard, mouse rhythm and coordination?

Quake Live features a strafe jumping tutorial map with screenshots and videos of each "puzzle."

A video of the map being cleared can be seen here.
