  • Stances - Horse, Walking, Front

    Stances: Horse, Walking, Front

    These stances are common across most styles of martial arts, and very well illustrated in the following video.

     

     

    Horse Stance:

    Horse Stance is a "transitional" stance, and not otherwise used in fighting.  As a transitional stance, you will see a fighter briefly use it as they transition from one technique to another technique.  It is very common as a transitional stance, plus doing it helps train muscle memory for keeping the knees bent, which is important with virtually all stances.  It is also a decent leg muscle strengthening exercise, as keeping a horse stance for very long will cause your leg muscles to burn.  It is also a good mobility and flexibility exercise-- you can gradually increase how far apart your legs are and eventually build up to a full side split.
