IMO, there is no "perfect" fighting stance. If you have
- square stance (both legs parallel with your chest facing 90 degree to your opponent), your opponent can attack "double legs" (get both if you can).
- side stance (one leg forward one leg backward), your opponent can attack that "single leg" (if you can't get both, get 1 after another).
- forward leaning legs back parallel stance (also square stance like most wrestlers use), your opponent can drag your head down to the ground (if you want to lean forward, your opponent can help you to lean forward more than you want to).
- legs closer to each other, your opponent can sweep your leg from outsid in (to make your legs closer than you want to).
- legs apart from each other, your opponent can spring your leg from inside out (to make your legs to separate apart more than you want to).
- weight on your leading leg, your opponent can sweep your leading leg.
- weight on your back leg, your opponent can scoop your leading leg.
No matter how you may stand, your weakness is always the 90 degree angle through your chest. If you use
- square stance, your weakness is forward-backward.
- side stance, your weakness is sideway.
It's not how you stance but whether you know your weakness and how to "react from" it. If you know how to do that, you can stand in anyway that you want to.
What's your opinion on this?
