i like to judge how skillfull my oponent is then take stance if i have time. if the attacker is just an ordinary person or someone that i fell confident i can beat i tak a south port boxing stance exept i have my body more side on and i convert to back stance as i move in.

if there more experienced ie a proper streetfighter or martial artis i take a right back stance with my left hand open and forward and my right shut and chambered near my head my fornuckle is about a fists distance away from my eye with my elbow slightly down from the hight of my hand.

Our stance is pretty much the same as the aikido stance, I think. Feet placed about shoulderwidth apart, as though on opposite corners of a square at forty-five degrees angle. Elbows tucked slightly into your side, arms bent to bring your rear arm just up under the chin, front arm up in a relaxed 'v' shape.

Its the only actual stance we have, the others are all transitional to help improve your techniques.

My stance changes all the time. I dont have one stance.

I adjust it to my opponent.

Style doesnt matter to me.

For the most part I just stand there and wait for an attack to come.

In class I usually use Zenkutsu Dachi (Front stance) or Neko Ashi Dachi (Cat stance) But as someone has pointed out, I adjust my stance to my oponent, or whatever feels more comfortable.

There should be no rigid stance. you fight from wherever you are at the time.

Yup, our primary fighting stance is a boxer's stance. It works well and gives nothing away.

Dragon stance, i feel that is the best dance to use your feet and hands most effectively, and thus be most appropriate to be used in a real life combat situation

Stand naturally, in a comfortable fighting stance, and depending on the situation, and techique you are using, your stance should appropriately match... Don't just STAND in a cross legged stance, 'bow-and-arrow' stance, or 'horse' stance like you might have to in class (to strengthen your legs). Move into these stances with your techniques.

I can't explain myself very well. But that's how I see it, and that's how I train.

A variation of a cat stance, only with a bit more weight on my forward leg. Say, 80% back 20% forward.
