Walking Stance
(gunnun sogi)

This is a strong stance for front and rear, both in attack and defense.

The dimensions of the stance are:

• length: 1.5 shoulder widths from big toe to big toe, and
• width: 1 shoulder width apart from the centre of each instep
• keep the toes of the front foot pointing forward, and
• the opposite foot 25° outward
• bend the front leg until the kneecap forms a vertical line with the heel
• the rear leg should be completely straight, and
• the body should be vertical.
• tense the muscles of the feet with the feeling of pulling them toward each other
• body weight is even on both feet (50% – 50%)

When the right leg is bent, the stance is called a right walking stance and vice-versa. It can be either full facing or half facing both in attack and defense.
