I got a few ideas from my post entitled "Stances in real fights?" ....but they were clearly geared towards a different topic so i hope this thread is cool with everyone and isn't too much of a repeat...

The Question: What do each of you feel the role of stance trainning is? Reason i ask is because i like to practice the stances, and just want to know why i'm doing it. I've heard of lots of reasons to. It's just been years, looking for a refresher. Also any tips on doing it?

I recently was able to hold the horse stance for 9minutes (whew) I can probably go even longer now as that was a couple to a few weeks ago. Thanks for comments in advance everyone
