    I was taught from the git-go that most classical stances/poses in TMA were transitional, but that we practiced them in static poses and basics drills for conditioning so they would be powerful and automatic in transitions. A lot of the criticism of classic postures (ie "stances") fails to address this concept. A cat, horse, or crane stance isn't intended to be a basic fighting stance. They serve specific purposes in sparring or a real fight and only appear in "snapshots" while changing relative position to the opponent(s), executing specific kicks, throws, holds, etc. The training is often more like a freeze frame or series of freeze frames in an old Super 8 film. When I began fencing (Western) with an old European cavalry officer and Olympic fencing coach, he taught us the same thing about basic drills and held poses. He said that when he began training as a Hussar at the age of something like 12 or 13, they stood in formation at attention with a cavalry saber outstretched forward at shoulder height for HOURS at a time for weeks until they could hold that pose without shaking, arching their backs, wavering for 1 hour. They would be pouring sweat, breathing heavily, etc. while standing still holding that heavy cavalry saber. Only then were they ready to begin "training." And some didn't make it. Nowadays, almost no one really wants to build the foundation.

    First time I've seen you in action with a class. Your body mechanics are first rate...knees over toes even as toes move, perpendicular tibia, proper width of stance...your students are working hard t emulate your perfect body mechanics. They've no idea how lucky they are....

    A veeeerrrrry different side to you Sensei Ando! Who is your young protege? Wife? Daughter? Student? You and your wife should take ball room dancing or better yet, Swing dancing. Oh my goodness what a great cross training exercise for all students of martial arts, even footy foot ball players and Women's BB in college. My Aikido instructor moved like you or vise versa. Smooth, effortless, controlled, functional...movement you are teaching is a thing of beauty. Form following function hasn't even been truer. No sweat, minimal energy or at least no wasted energies, you are using the partner's energy against him, just like Aikido. Have you taken Aikido in your....formative years? You could be a dancer without blinking. A professional dancer. How many classes per week do you teach?

      Sharon Sampson Sorry I missed these comments… it’s not my channel! But yes, if there was no such thing as martial arts, I’d probably be dancing! :-)
