Another stance I like is the standing over the bloody stump of a carcas I’ve just deposited in the dirt. ---

Xebnoballs, That would not fit the topic - the topic was what’s your favorite fighting stance. That would imply that you have a stance that you prefer to use while fighting, correct? that should not be the case, since your stance should be transitional - unless of course you are using the crane stance, which if used properly, no can defense, as has already been pointed out. Consequently, I can’t say that a boxer’s stance is my favorite stance to fight in. Heck, my favorite stance is actually taming the tiger, but am I gonna fight from it? no. Anyway, I hear you mom calling you… Time to go home. Wait, she’s calling me- Xebby, run and play son, I’ve got business to take care of! 😃 ---

And its my favourite, and used all the time when fighting, understand now? You said taming the tiger, re-read my previous post, when i said somethine like “note that im talking about fighting stances”. I dunno wich is taming tiger, but they way you said it sounds like its not a fighting stace (cos either you or the stance completely SUX or its a traning stance like for qigong stuff and doesnt belong this discussion). And btw im sending someone over to your house to fock you up for disrespecting me :mad: ps: hiding on the basement wont save U! ---

[/B] Okay xebster, let’s break it down… you use one stance… that’s cool. Does that by default make it your favorite stance? No. It makes it your only stance. you are fighting (or trying to fight 😛 ) from the stance that you know and are comfortable with. Same thing with muay thai. I’m not gonna fight from a kick stance because I like it better than I like the boxer’s stance - I use what’s best at the time because I know them both. Whatever transitory stances I use while in action are not intentional. BUT, if the only stance I knew was a kick stance, then that is the only stance I would begin with. Got it now? ---

I like using Beggar’s Hand (seen in Wong Fei Hung films) stance with a big smirk on my face. People think I can No Shadow Kick their ass. ---

I fight standing up… With my hands in the way when people try to hit me. Sometimes my legs get in the way. (of their legs) [Previous page](https://forum.kungfumagazine.com/t/favorite-fighting-stances/21312.md?page=1)
