Feet shoulder width apart

 

Toe on one foot aligned with heel on other foot.

 

Both feet turned in slightly (outside of feet point straight ahead)

 

This is for the Isshinryu style in my school.

RE: hangetusu dachi

 

Very similar to Sanchin dachi, except the foot

 

in front is quite a bit furthe out in front.

 

when i was taught it, we called in a crescant stance.

 

Hangetusu Kata is an OLD kata in Kyokushin, that was

 

long ago dropped from the style of Kyokushin. It is

 

known as Seisan in other styles of karate.

 

anyway, they way we were taught, the weight

 

distribution is still 50/50 like in Sanchin dachi.

 

not 70/30 like in a front stance.

 

feet are like this:

Okay, not perfect, but you getthe picture. and as mentioned,

 

the left foot in the diagram will not be able to rotate the

 

heel out as much as you are used to in Sanchin dachi.

 

hope this helps.

 

OSU!
