Moving in a Square Stance

·         Use short, quick “shuffle” steps to circle or move from side to side, keeping your feet and base wide. Never cross your feet when moving in your stance as this will leave you open to be taken down and also create make you more vulnerable to injury.

·         At the same time, maintain your good position: knees bent, butt down, back at a slight angle, head up, and hands out.

·         Always face and stay square to your opponent—allowing your opponent to position themselves at an angle towards your body leave you more open to an attack.
