I see a lot of posts arguing about stances.
“This is the right stance.”
“That stance is wrong.”
“This is the only way to do it.”
The truth is there is no single best stance. There is only the stance that works for the fighter.
One of the biggest problems today is the number of one-dimensional instructors teaching as if their way is the only way. Truthfully, most of my TKD instructors were the same way. I found that out the hard way.
When you truly understand striking, you understand how and when to use different stances, different movement patterns, and different tools. The more you learn, the less attached you become to any one method.
A beginner learns a stance.
An experienced fighter learns when to use it. ’s go
