Upright Stance
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Basic upright stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an Upright Stance, you should stand with your legs roughly shoulder-width apart. Your back foot should be about half a step behind your front foot. If your dominant boxing hand is your right hand, your left foot will lead. Lift your right heel off the ground by about 3 inches and point both feet inward (although do not exaggerate this movement). If you lift your heel too far off the ground, or turn your feet too far inward, you will become unbalanced. As a test, imagine someone pushing you from any direction. In a properly balanced stance, you should be able to maintain an upright position and not fall to the ground or sway from side to side. To increase the stability of your stance, keep your knees and hips slightly bent but make sure your back is straight. Your lead fist (which will be your left fist if your dominant boxing hand is your right hand) should be positioned vertically at eye level, approximately six inches away from your face. Your right fist should be positioned next to your chin, with your elbow held against your ribcage. This is good defensive positioning and will effectively protect your body. Whilst watching televised boxing matches, you may have noticed the boxers tapping their cheeks with their hands. This repetitive action acts as a reminder to keep fists up at all times and is especially important as the match progresses and energy levels drop. To further protect yourself from blows from your opponent, keep your chin pressed against your chest. Punches to the jaw often cause knock-outs, so it is essential to keep this stance throughout the boxing match.

It has been years since Kahimi has last seen her father. A man that although she dislikes to admit it, generally adores and is inspired by. This feeling towards her father is one that she can't deny, which makes her emotional whenever she looks onward towards her home. At least get old home. The land here is aged in a way that only a person who has maintained it for years could allow.
Everything here, is reminiscent of the past that Kahimi reminds in pristine details. As if her imagination was coming to life, she could picture events of the past as if they were the present. Her younger self growing up here was an adventure in its own right. But now...as an adult Kahimi can't help, but feel a little unsure about herself. On her decisions thus far. It was years ago that she learned so many things here. The air around her felt and smelled stale the more she traveled to the old gym she used to use. Coming here, began to fill her pulseless body with multiple emotions at once. All bringing her to the point in which memories began to replay themselves more vividly.
As she stood quietly within the gym itself her eyes fell upon the big fighting ring in front of her. By then her memories of relentless training began to return. As if by second nature her eyes panned over to a worn, punching bag still hung up on its sturdy chain, and suspension frame. A soft smile subtly curling on her lips, as her eyes scanned the beat up training equipment. With slow casual steps the pale skinned woman, made her way to the punching bag. Her hand soon able to reach out, and touch it's rough, firm surface. To feel it again filled her next breath with nostalgia. Making her sigh sadly as she used to love the sight of this place.
That dreaded feeling would cause her to tense her extended left hand into a fist as it remained pressed against the punching bag. Soon...her body would naturally begin to adjust itself into some sort of form. Her arms gradually moving into a set state in front of her. Her right arm, now sharply bent and pressed against her torso with a balled right hand pressed against the corresponding side of her chin.
With sharp eyes Kahimi eyed the bag like an enemy. Her body now methodically setting itself into some sort of fighting position. Her legs now positioning her feet in strategic places by second nature. Her left foot holding its heel off the floor slightly while her right foot acted as an anchor. Her body now angled in a completely different manner as it was straightened out and poised to strike. Her left hand already aligned her face with a six inch gap in between. It's without question that Kahimi had suddenly taken up a stance suited for punches. And with her mind and body thinking and acting on instinct. She began to reenact the past she remembers so well...
