A distinction is made between the left-handed and right-handed stance. Right-handers take the left stance (left foot in front), while left-handers take the right stance (right foot in front). The left-hand stance: The left foot is placed one step forwards from a parallel stance approximately shoulder-width apart so that the right hand is behind. The right hand corresponds to the striking hand, the left hand to the leading hand. The distance between the two feet is approximately one shoulder width, with the feet on a diagonal to each other. The front foot stands on the entire sole, the heel of the back foot is raised. Both feet point forwards and the weight is evenly distributed over both legs. The front shoulder is turned slightly inwards. The whole body is slightly crouched, the knees are slightly bent and soft. The striking hand is placed in front of the chin and rests against the body. The lead hand is in front at eye level. The fists point outwards with the back. The arms are in front of the body and the elbows point downwards so that the arms cover the body.

Alternate between bringing one elbow forwards at eye level (pointing forwards/upper arm in the direction of your gaze) and turning your upper body with it.

Attention:
Always hold your arms up (chin or eye level).

Lighten:
Lower your elbows forward (chest height).
