Standing Attention

Also known as a "closed-leg stance"

Stand with body vertical and straight. Face forward with head erect. Feet side-by-side with heels and toes touching (Variation is a "V Stance" with heels touching but with toes angled 45 degrees to each side). Arms and hands straight down the side of the body. Fingers straight down with palms against the legs (Variation is with hands in tight fists with palms toward the body).

Kneeling Attention

From the standing attention stance, lift the left leg and lower the left knee to the floor beside the right foot, extending the left foot toes straight backward. Lift the right leg and lower the right knee to the floor beside the left knee, extending the right foot toes straight backward, with the right foot toes overlapping the left foot toes. Sit back on the feet, keeping the body erect. Place the hands palms down, fingers together, atop their corresponding thighs, with the fingers pointed toward the inner thighs. With hands in this position, the arms will form a circular position. Remain erect but relax and let weight rest on the legs.
