In the beginning, you’ll want to find a surface like a basketball or squash court that has marked lines. Or you might want to use some chalk or tape to make your own lines. It may sound like splitting hairs, but by the end of this chapter, you’ll see why we’re such sticklers for precision.
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulders’ width apart. Line your right toe up along the line so that your right foot makes about a thirty-degree angle with the line. See Figure 6.
Figure 6: The front foot should form a thirty-degree angle with the line that points toward your target.
Now position your left foot so that the line runs directly under the arch. Raise your left heel, à la Nadi, and turn your left toe in slightly. You should feel all the weight of your left side concentrated on the ball of your left foot. See Figure 7.
Figure 7: All of your power originates from the raised left heel.
Be careful not to raise your left heel so high that you have no more room from which to spring into action. An excessively raised heel will also cause you to be top-heavy, placing your center of gravity in an unfavorable position. Nadi recommended that the left heel be raised approximately half an inch.5 See Figure 8.
