benkendrick Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I don't know the correct Asain terminology for it but my favorite stance involves the following: - Feet Shoulder width part - Knees relaxed & slightly bent (not locked) - Shoulders straight - Head and Eyes to the front (typically) - Left hand held loosely to the side - (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT!) A cold Beer in my right hand. Seriosuly though, static stances are for training purposes (ie. Building lower body strength & Flexibility). In a REAL situation you have to be fluid, and this goes especially for your stances - So I have to agree with the comments on stances needing to be transitory. They all have their uses - under the right circumstances... Ben Kendrick"The more you sweat in training the less you bleed in battle..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenteReligieuse Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Of course stances are transitory. Which is why I find mabu so important, from that position you have balance and power, and can go into whatever stance you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
