Basic Karate Stances for Beginners

Basic stances are the training wheels for natural combat stances. The better your basics, the better your kata, your kumite, and your randori.

We start with the four stances that occur most often in Goju Ryu, and later touch on others that appear throughout the 12 official Goju Ryu kata.
