Let discuss those stances with bird names, like Golden Rooster, White Crane, etc. I'm particularly interested in those stances which are one legged. This seems to be unique to Chinese martial arts. Do you use such a stance in your system? Why or why not? What is developed, is it a real skill to use in fighting? When you bring up your leg to kick, do you pass through this stance? I know the answers to these questions for Wing Chun, so I'm curious about the other stylists.
