| Stance training ( Stance: A way of standing ) I like to transition from one stance to another. With repition and change in stance you can develope good leg stength and sure footing. Hold each stance for at least a few minutes except for ready stance which is just a starting point for all other stances |
| Ready Stance Start by standing with feet together and arms at your sides. |

| Horse Stance Start by standing in Ready stance. While Bending your arms make a fist with both hands. Lift your left leg straight up. Bend your rightleg and move your left leg outward toward the left and then place your foot down onto the ground. Your feet should be about double to tripple shoulder width apart and your knees bent so that yours thighs are parrallel to the ground. After some practice you will notice improvement in the amount of time you can hold this poition without raising or lowering your body. |
