Ok when it comes to fight stance it's very very practical. It's not like traditional because modern day people use this for self-defense purpose, for tournament, for film, you name it. Now take a look. This hand's protecting the side of the cheek. This hand protect this side of the cheek. Not only that the leg is bent the helping to prevent his leg being popped. If the knee is straight it's going to be popped. If the knee is bent he can take the resistant. Now, the instep. He got to make sure secure himself. Able to move forward, backward. Forward, backward, down. Now look at this. Forward, backward, get down. Yes, now to the side, to the side. Hey backward, in. Now, look at it, down. Why I'm asking to bend down his body? For example, there are some people love swinging. Sometime if this guy has a huge hook are you going to take it? Of course. Duck! Duck! It's the best way. So fighting position. So now look his fist and his leg are coordinating staying on two track. Track one, track two. Fighting position. Elbows shouldn't be up, elbows should be dropped. Completely being, what the body being covered by the fist and arm. Leg are always, be able to lift on both side. Then that's called fighting position. Hard to tell which leg, which hand, which side he's going to throw. So this called fighting position. Thank you very much.
