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.

A grin spread across Kaijuu’s face as the elderly man would begin to explain how to begin, which was to place his left foot forward, while keeping his right foot back. As he did so, he was curious to know the next step, as these did seem to be the fundamentals. Instructed to lift his right heel from the floor three inches, then point his toes inward slightly, Kaijuu did so without question; although this did feel a little goofy. Next he was to raise his fists to his face, his right fist chin level, with his left fist eye level; both fists six inches away from his face. Having done so, the elderly man would inspect Kaijuu, but found that one thing was missing. Kaijuu had to lower his chin. After getting slapped in the back of the head, Kaijuu would drop his chin to his chest, completing the boxing stance rather perfectly. It was time to move on to the next fundamental.[/ul][/ul][/font]

Semi-Crouch
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-crouched stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture You may choose to fight from a crouch (or semi-crouch) position during a boxing match. If you choose this option, lean forward rather than maintaining an upright position, whilst making sure your feet are kept close together. The most important thing to remember when adopting a balanced boxing stance is to relax. If you start to become tense, your balance will be negatively affected and you will be more likely to receive a harmful blow from your opponent. Your neck and back should never feel under any pressure. If your neck and back do feel tense, you may be leaning your shoulders too far forward and not rotating your hips in line with them. If you want to increase the range of your punches, try positioning your front foot ahead of your head. To see the difference that this new stance can make, stand in front of a punch bag whilst keeping your back foot steady and in the normal position. Punch forward slowly and keep your punch at its full extension. After this, move your lead foot in front of your head and repeat the punching movement. Stop the punch at its full extension and you should be able to notice the increased range now available to you. When practicing this variation, keep the other elements of the orthodox stance, such as the position of the elbows and chin, the same.

The elderly man would lean forward, relaxing his whole body, and keeping his feet close together. He said something about releasing the pressure from your back, so that your neck and back would feel nothing, but Kaijuu did not quite understand at the time. Next he would place his left foot a bit in front of his head, keeping his hips lined up with his shoulders, and said that it would increase the range of his punches. His arms would remain in, his left fist at eye level, his right fist at chin level and both six inches from his face. That was the basic Semi-Crouch stance, the elderly man said, as he turned to Kaijuu.

”Go.”

Kaijuu would begin by leaning forward, his body tilting, and he could feel himself start to fall forward a little. On instinct he tensed up to get his balance, to which the elderly man slapped him in the back of the head, reminding him about his feet. They were too far apart, so Kaijuu began to move them closer together, which aided in his balancing as he tilted forward a bit and bent his knees slightly. He would move his left foot forward, passed the range of his head, so that he too could extend the range of his punches. Once again he was hit, but on the arms this time, and he moved his elbows in closer to his body. His left fist would rise to eye level, his right to chin level, and both would remain at six inches from his face. This was the Semi-crouch stance and the elderly man seemed rather pleased.

”Good job, kid. A little rough, but good job. The name’s Mickey…I’ll be your trainer.”
