Parallel Ready Stance

GM Donato Nardizzi

Parallel Ready Stance  (Narani Junbi Sogi)

This the same as a Parallel Stance, however, the fists are clenched slightly and 5 centimeters (2 inches) apart.

There should be approximately 7 centimeters (2.9 inches) between the fists and the abdomen and 10 centimeters (4.1 inches) between the elbows and the floating ribs.

The upper arms are forward at 30 degrees while the lower arms are bent upward at 40 degrees.
