I agree, I would use the stance that I would use for Muay Thai in sparring if I got in a fight |

a good stance is when one hand is held back for defense and one for offense and the same with the legs. _________________ John R |

There should be no rigid stance. you fight from wherever you are at the time
deep stances are to strengthen the legs and instill disapline, during training, and if needed can be called upon to be used without fail.
facing off with the enemy with a low stance is unwise.
starting with an upright mobile stance is the best, it doesnt give away what you know. _________________ =0 |

I would prolly use either a Muay Thai stance or a side stance. If the guy was big and alone, i'd prolyl take him down tho. _________________ "razor elbows, killer knees, iron fists and monster kicks"

[quote="monkeygirl"]Actually, using a real fighting stance in a street fight may not be the best idea. In my school, we teach that if you get in a confrontation, you should keep your hands open and near your face, and be on the defensive. Otherwise, to the onlooker, YOU look like the agressor. :[/quote]
I totally agree with monkey girl. I have used this approach on numerous occasions on the street. (My personal stance is hands up to shoulder height, palms forward, feet at forty five degrees with 50/50 distribution, spring loaded on the rear foot like in JKD.) Anyway, the important thing is that after the altercations I spoke with on lookers, all of whom said that I looked like I didn't want to fight.
Just a violence is the unfortunate reality of or society, so are lawsuits. IF I can be in a position to utilize my training and still not look like an aggressor, than I have all my bases covered. |

if u jump straight into a stance they'll know ur trained, but if u adopt a not interested stance then they'll relax and not be as ready for a launched attack on that kneecap closest to u. _________________ "I didn't lose!!! I just ran out of time to figure out how to beat him."

Your stance is your defense. You should distribute your weight 50/50. Your heels should be off the ground, doesn't matter how high just off the ground. You should bounce (as if jumping rope) to keep your body in constant motion and so your attacker doesn't know where your going to attack from. That should be your stance. Whether you put one foot forward and which one is all up to you, but these are the important basics when it comes to your fighting stance |

That would depend on your style, goat. Some instructors insists that having a bounce is lunacy unless you are boxing due to the clinch and takedown methods of today. |

I do agree that from instructor to instructor stance ideas are going to be defferrent. Your whole body should be in motion which makes it easier to react to your attacker (notice I say attacker, not opponent). I don't have an instructor, but I have enough experience to make up for it. Your stance should be natural. For years I fought southpaw (still do) and never knew it until I read Lee's book and that was natural. Try and find your natural stance. |
