Figure Out Your Stance
Comments Off This is a tricky one. Well not really, but once I tell you the best way to figure out your stance, you will know the trick and be ready for it. You need to be suprised for it to work.
There are a few ways people use to figure out stance but a lot of them simply just don’t work. I was having some serious trouble improving, but someone pulled this little trick on me telling me that my stance was in fact supposed to be the opposite. I kid you not, I improved 100% in one day.
Your stance is either natural or goofy. Natrual means that you will roll with your left foot forward and goofy, the opposite.
The idea is that while you are standing flat footed, distracted by something else, someone gives you a sharp shove from behind. The foot you use to stop yourself falling should be your front foot, in my experience. Tell someone to give you a shove the next day when you aren’t ready for it.
If you are still unsure, you can try spending an hour on each stance and decide which feels better for you.
