Walking Stance / Fighting Stance

The precursor of the fighting stance, walking stance and fighting are the same, with the excepting of the hand position. This stance allows a student the ability to move back and forward while maintaining a high center of gravity and thus greater mobility.

STEP 1

Place one foot forward at the distance equal to one natural step.

STEP 2

The toes of the front foot point straight ahead and toes of the rear foot angle slightly out to the side, giving the appearance of an L shape.

STEP 3

The hips and shoulders face the front squarely.

STEP 4

Block, punches and kicks are common from this position. When in a fighting stance a student must keep their hands up in defensive guard position. Both hands must remain up during drills and fist closed, unless otherwise instructed. 

STEP 5

The basic low block from this position will start from the opposite ear - a right hand low block will start from the left ear. The basic rising blocks will start from the waist line fist in front of the knot of a students belt. At no time should a student rest their arms on their body in either walking or fighting stance.
