The advantage of this stance is the ease with which one can extend the
attacking tool. It can also develop the leg muscles and is effective to
adjust the distance to and from the target.
Move one foot to either the front or the rear at a distance of 1.5
shoulder widths between the big toe of the rear foot and the heel of the
front foot, and 1 shoulder width apart from the centre of each instep.
Bend the front leg until the knee cap forms a vertical line with the heel,
extending the opposite leg fully
Body weight even on both feet
Keep the toes of the front foot pointing forward, the opposite foot 25o
outward.
Tense the muscles of the feet with the feeling of pulling them toward
each other
When the right leg is bent it is a right stance, and vice versa
Full facing or half facing
