Take A Stance…

I have currently been giving a lot of thought about our stance work in the dojo. Especially after some really good questions from private students who wanted to improve their own footwork. We all know how important correct stance work is; for balance, stability and for us to be able to perform martial arts successfully at a high tempo. As you can imagine its a subject that i’ve needed to talk a lot about over the past 15 years as a personal instructor in the martial arts.
I think we can improve our stance work by simply understanding some core principles and know reasons why a stance works or doesn’t, plus some simple exercises we can try at home; all of which should really help a student improve!
So i’m currently writing an article on footwork that will include these things for our members area that will also appear as part of our new Wisewarrior Resource page on this core subject. So i hope you will enjoy both the article and the download when it comes out.
