This is widely used in defence, though used in attack as well. The front leg is
readily available for kicking with a slight shifting of the body weight and with
the advantage of half facing as well as body shifting.
Move one foot to the either the front or rear a distance of 1.5 shoulder widths
from the foot-sword of the rear foot to the toes of the front foot, almost forming
a right angle.
The toes of both feet point 15 degrees inward.
Place the heel of the front foot 2.5cm beyond the heel of the rear foot.
Bend the rear leg until the knee cap forms a vertical line with the toes, bending
the front leg proportionally Keep the hip aligned with the inner knee joint
Always half facing
About 70 percent body weight on the rear leg and 30 percent on the front leg
When the right leg is bent it is a right stance, and vice versa
It is always half facing, both in attack and defence.
