Close ready stance A (moa junbi sogi A)

Stand with the feet together. It is performed full facing . The distance between the philtrum and the fists is about 30 centimetres.

Bending ready stance A (guburyo junbi sogi A)

When standing with a left foot executing a right forearm guarding block, it is called a left bending ready stance and vice-versa. It is principally used for a preparatory position of side piercing and side thrusting kicks.

Fixed stance (gojung sogi)

It is an effective stance for attack and defence to the side. This stance is similar to the L-stance with the following exceptions:

1. The body weight is distributed evenly on both legs. (50 - 50)
2. The distance between the big toes is about one and a half shoulder width. When the right foot is advanced the stance is called a right fixed stance and viceversa. It is always half facing, both in attack and defence.
