When in the stance, the feet are parallel to each other and about one and a half shoulder widths apart.
The stance is about two shoulder widths long from front to back. The front knee is bent such that the practioner cannot see
the toes of that foot. The knee of the rear leg is locked out. The locking of the rear knee and flexing of the front allows the
hips and trunk to squarely face the front. Keep the shoulders directly over the hips. Grip the floor with your toes.
This stance is extremely strong from the front. In fact, when pushed from the front, the practioner should not be able to be
moved backward.
