rayjag Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Out of curiosity I wanted to start a discussion on what the different weight ratios are in differnent stances and if they differ in different styles.The first style of Tae Kwon Do I learned was:Front stance 50/50Back stance 70/30Horse stance 50/50Cat stance 90/10Any other variations out there?
Jeffrey Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Sounds right to me but I use a 60/40 for the front stance (Zenkutsu Dachi) with the 60 on the front leg. Just the way I was taught.
KarateGeorge Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I do a 60/40 on the front stance as well. Otherwise, it sounds about the same as what I learned.
Chitsu Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 What does Zenkutsu mean?Chitsu look at the moon, not my finger.
JusticeZero Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Upright switches 75/25, 50/50, 75/25, and if you go low you'll be squatting at 50/50 narrow, 40/50/10 narrow, or one foot forward at 70/20/10. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
Jeffrey Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 What does Zenkutsu mean?ChitsuI believe it means forward. Or at least that was what I was told. Maybe I should really look up. In less you care to enlighten me I don't always trust what meaning I get from the good old google search.

bushido_man96 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 I was thinking more of 60/40 for the front stance as well, but otherwise, all pretty close. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
tallgeese Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 We pretty much work out of a single fighting stance for training. It works around 50/50 on distribution. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
username13768 Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 zenkutsu actually means forward or front leaning. Hence the 60/40 distribution.
