Stances
Resting

 

When told to rest, either rest standing, kneeling, or sitting, depending on the command given or the circumstances.

Standing

Stand relaxed with arms hanging naturally. To not lean on anything, sit on anything, fold arms, or rest hands on hips. Relax, but stay alert.

Kneeling

Kneel on knees, extend feet behind you, cross feet, sit erect atop the feet, and place palms on thighs with fingers pointed inward. When on floor, either kneeling or sitting, the purpose is to be relaxed but alert and ready. For instance, if watching a sparring match and a person falls toward you, you must be ready to instantly move out of the way, protect yourself, and catch or protect the falling person.

Sitting

Sit with legs crossed with feet close to body and drape arms over legs. Do no extend legs or lean on elbows. When on floor, either kneeling or sitting, the purpose is to be relaxed but alert and ready. For instance, if watching a sparring match and a person falls toward you, you must be ready to instantly move out of the way, protect yourself, and catch or protect the falling person.
