Krav Maga Techniques : Basic stance

Basic stance is the ready position to fight in Krav Maga. It is the most common stance that we use to either start combat or execute any one of or most of our defensive technique. Basic stance is the step that all of us take many, many times everyday with our feet. If I walk for you forward and this is how all of us walk, and if I'll stop, and here I'll stop further out, you're going to realize that I have one left foot forward the same way we do very many times every day.

Your weight should be distributed differently on each leg. That means 60-40. The knees are never locked they are a bit bent. You're hands are going to rise up, left hand to be in charge more of your face, right hand slightly closer to be more in charge of protecting your body. Elbows are never up because you don,t want to sacrifice your ribs.

Remember that is Krav Maga is an art that do not compete in events and it is not a sport. We are not trying to prolong the fight. We understand that the longer we're going to conduct combat in the street environment, the more hurt we are going to be. Therefore, our motivation is to actually not conduct fight at all. We need to be moving forward more conducting a war-like concept and therefore every single weapon, as you see, should be facing forward. We try to make sure we are always facing the opponent asap.

Kida!
