stance in real life

[ICE]

i like to judge how skillfull my oponent is then take stance if i have time. if the attacker is just an ordinary person or someone that i fell confident i can beat i tak a south port boxing stance exept i have my body more side on and i convert to back stance as i move in.

 

if there more experienced ie a proper streetfighter or martial artis i take a right back stance with my left hand open and forward and my right shut and chambered near my head my fornuckle is about a fists distance away from my eye with my elbow slightly down from the hight of my hand.

I would take Aikido Kamae, Aikido's one and only stance.

Our stance is pretty much the same as the aikido stance, I think. Feet placed about shoulderwidth apart, as though on opposite corners of a square at forty-five degrees angle. Elbows tucked slightly into your side, arms bent to bring your rear arm just up under the chin, front arm up in a relaxed 'v' shape.

 

Its the only actual stance we have, the others are all transitional to help improve your techniques.

My stance changes all the time. I dont have one stance.

 

I adjust it to my opponent.

 

Style doesnt matter to me.

 

For the most part I just stand there and wait for an attack to come.

In class I usually use Zenkutsu Dachi (Front stance) or Neko Ashi Dachi (Cat stance) But as someone has pointed out, I adjust my stance to my oponent, or whatever feels more comfortable.

There should be no rigid stance. you fight from wherever you are at the time.

[Hpkid0ist]

Yup, our primary fighting stance is a boxer's stance. It works well and gives nothing away.

Dragon stance, i feel that is the best dance to use your feet and hands most effectively, and thus be most appropriate to be used in a real life combat situation

[fungku]

Stand naturally, in a comfortable fighting stance, and depending on the situation, and techique you are using, your stance should appropriately match... Don't just STAND in a cross legged stance, 'bow-and-arrow' stance, or 'horse' stance like you might have to in class (to strengthen your legs). Move into these stances with your techniques.

 

I can't explain myself very well. But that's how I see it, and that's how I train.

A variation of a cat stance, only with a bit more weight on my forward leg. Say, 80% back 20% forward.
