Karate has many different stances, each used to create power, flexibility and movement. Some stances focus more on mobility than stability, and vice versa. These are the most common stances in karate: ==High stances== In all these stances the knees are bent very slightly. There are no stances where weight rests on a leg with a completely straight knee. Heisoku-dachi (閉足立, Feet together stance) Feet together. This is usually a transitional stance, although it is used as the ready stance in some kata. Musubi-dachi (結び立, Joining stance) Heels together, toes open at about 45 degrees. This stance is used to perform the formal respectful bow, ''rei'' (礼). Musubi-dachi-heiko (結び立-平行) From musubi-dachi, open heels until both outer edges of feet are parallel. Some styles don't distinguish this stance from heiko-dachi. Hachiji-dachi (八字立, natural stance, literally "stand like the character 八") The feet are shoulder width apart, toes open at 45 degrees. Sometimes this stance is called soto-hachiji-dachi (外八字立). This is the basic ready stance in Karate. Uchi hachiji-dachi (内八字立, literally "stand like the upside-down character 八") The feet are shoulder width apart, toes facing inwards at 30-45 degrees, knees tense. This stance is used in some formal exercises, for example the ''tsundome''. Also called Chun'be or Naifanchin-dachi. Heikō-dachi (平行立, parallel stance) The feet are shoulder width apart, and their outer edges are parallel. This is a common transitional stance in many kata. Seisan (Universal) The feet are shoulder width apart, as in Heiko-dachi, but one foot is forward to where the heel is parallel with the big toe of the back foot 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karate stances」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
