    Stances:

     

    Ready Stance - Junbi Sogi
    Though there are many ready Stances, parallel, walking, sitting, L-, X-, close and bending ready Stances are exclusively used in the fundamental and pattern exercises. The ready Stance is not a direct part of any action. It merely positions a student before he begins his motions or allows time for concentration of spirit.

     

    Attention Stance - Charyot Sogi
    This is an attention position used before and after each exercise.
