Here are the 3 main stances we use: Zenkutsu-Dachi (front stance) Front leg is bent, back leg is straight. Feet are flat on the floor and your own shoul- der width apart. Make sure your back foot points forward as much as possible, your hips are straight and centre of gravity is between both feet. Front knee is directly above front foot Kokutsu-Dachi (rear stance) Heels are in line, back leg is bent, back foot points 90© to side, front foot points straight forward. Front leg is slightly bent, so that your centre of gravity is closer to your back leg. 70% weight on back leg, 30% on front. Hips are at an angle. Do not let back knee “fall in “”(push it back) Kiba-Dachi (horse stance) Heels on one line, feet are parallel and double your own shoulder width apart. Push your knees out, do not let them “fall inward”. Feet are flat on the floor.Your cen- tre of gravity is the middle of your stance—equal weight on both legs.
