🥋 WHY DO WE PRACTICE STANCES IN MARTIAL ARTS? 🥋
You might see our students standing in a stance and wonder… why do they practise this so much?
Because a strong stance is the foundation of martial arts 💪
For our younger students learning good stances helps develop:
👣 Balance — teaching children how to control their body and stay stable
💪 Strength — holding the correct position builds strong legs, hips and core
🎯 Focus — students have to concentrate on where their feet, hands and body should be
⚡ Power — good technique starts from the ground up. A strong stance gives students the foundation to punch, kick, block and move correctly
🧠 Discipline — repeating the basics teaches children that improvement comes through practice, patience and attention to detail
🥋 Better technique — as students progress, everything they learn becomes easier when their fundamentals are strong
We don’t just want our students to copy movements we want them to understand how to move their bodies correctly
That’s why we’ll always spend time practising the basics
✅ Strong stances
✅ Strong foundations
✅ Strong martial artist
The basics might not always be the most exciting part of training…
But they’re often the most important🥋👊💪
