cross Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I can answer that. The Passive stance is when you bring both hand up to your face with the palms open in an attempt to appear docile and as if you are tring to calm the person down, you can however strike, block or intercept or even attain a clinch from this position.Exactly. ill just add, the term passive "stance" can be confusing to some, being that its not a stance in the traditional sense. There is methodology behind it. Key points of the stance are not only physical, verbal techniques play a large part. And has i mentioned earlier, it makes the attacker think they have the perfect victim which raises their ego and lowers their expectation of you doing anything. Which is perfect for you, element of surprise and all that.... Not to mention it places your hands and body in a position that maximises your reflexive response.

baronbvp Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I can't imagine not being totally on guard in any one of those situations. That's one reason I don't hang out with those people.
