This is used for defence and occasionally for attack. The advantage of
this stance is the ability to kick or adjust the distance from an opponent
with the front foot, which can move spontaneously without any
additional shifting of the body weight to the rear foot.
Move one foot either to the front or the rear a distance of 1 shoulder
width between the small toes
Bend the rear leg until the knee comes over the toes, placing the heel
slightly beyond the heel of the front foot
Bend the front leg, touching the ground slightly with the ball of the foot
Keep the toes of the front foot 25o inward and the toes of the rear foot
15o inward.
Always half facing
Body weight mostly on the rear foot
When the right foot is in the rear it is a right stance, and vice versa · Be
sure to keep the knee of the rear leg pointing slightly inward
Rearfoot stance
