Fighting Stance. With small changes, any stance may be used as a fighting stance, but each stance has its own advantages and disadvantages. The best all around fighting stance is the one used by professional fighters, such as boxers. In this stance, both feet and both hands may easily be used as weapons, the body is well protected, and movements may be quick and in any direction.

• For this fighting stance, stand in a shoulder width front stance with arms held in a basic guard.

• Rotate both feet on heels 30 degrees toward rear foot's side.

• Shoulders and hips are parallel and also angled 30 degrees toward the side. Center body weight between feet, and relax weight into the stance.

• Weight distribution will be about 50 percent on front foot and 50 percent on rear foot.

• Stay on balls of feet and keep feet moving.

• Either shift weight from foot to foot, or skip both feet forward and backward simultaneously.

• Move in circles around opponent. Shift stance and guard to left or right leading as desired or necessary.
