rb Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 It's a front stance. I'm not too crazy about the back foot but maybe this is how other stylists do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewGreen Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 The one that gets the job done Quit thinking so much about "proper" stance, if the "proper" stance is anything but the most effiecent and natural one for what you are doing you're definition of "proper" gas been skewed. Naming them just causes problems, especially when they are named in another language. Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!

BKJ1216 Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 I actually meant is it a correct stand, I thought your left hand was suposed to be hooked upward. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Well it's a Gyaku Tsuky performed in Zenkutsu Dachi (the stance is a little weird ... the back leg shouldn't have the knee bent ... it should be straight.) And the stance in the first pisture is too high ... and the left fist should be closer to the knee (Gedan barai is supposed to protect it in that stance) Let other Shotokans come and tell us more World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjanurse Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 It looks to me like an illustration of the position of the hips when beginning the rotation used when punching-similar to an open stance.

DokterVet Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 He is starting in a sparring stance, then moving into zenkutsu datchi with the punch. It is very common in karate. In my style, the foot would be flat on the floor, and the leg would be straighter in the zenkutsu datchi. Also, his wrist angle looks a little extreme. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
