3 Stances

Main Steps Involved:

• Passive: Standing normally with hands down feet about shoulder width apart

• Semi passive: Same as passive but bring hand up and in front. Keep hands open and place elbows on the rib area

• Outlet stance (fight stance): Same as the semi-passive but a step forward. Step forward in a normal comfortable stepping range keeping legs shoulder-width apart (like the other stances) and torso straight. Use the ball of the foot for the rearfoot, and the front foot should be planted flat.

Moving In A Fight Stance 

• Step forward into fight stance by taking a normal step forward and keeping feet comfortably apart, about shoulder width

• Keep front foot flat and the rear foot on the ball of the foot

• Whatever direction you want to move, the closest foot to that direction of travel leads first, and the opposite foot should follow
  E.g. left- left foot moves left then right foot follows and moves left ensuring to step at a comfortable distance

Moving And Scanning

• After defending an attack, you must move and scan to look for other attackers

• You must make space and get off the straight line of the attacker, exiting to the side and remaining in your fight stance.

• Look left to right until you feel safe.

• Once you can see the attacker is no longer a threat and feel safe, leave the area.

Variation: Once you have completed step 3, you can move back in and give further attacks if you feel the attacker is still a threat, but only if no weapon such as a knife is present.

Getting Off The Line When Exiting 

• After every defense you must get off the line of the attacker whether you are moving and scanning or fleeing

• Flee at an angle to avoid being chased in a straight line as it is harder to attack someone running on an angle

• Look back while fleeing to make sure you are not being chased

Deliver A Punch And Palm

• Simultaneously Pivot foot on the punching arm side, pivoting inwards
