CHAPTER 2
Adopting Proper Stance and Movement
Whether you fight in the ring or on the streets, your stance and your movement are the foundation of your fighting skills. A good stance will allow you to execute your techniques quickly and efficiently in a relaxed, balanced and protected way. Mastering movement for a fight is all about retaining your stance while you’re in motion. Whether you’re advancing, retreating, moving left or right, striking or defending—you always begin and end in your stance.
Remember: A good stance is your first offense and defense.
