What
is T-Position?
The
Strongest balance of which we are capable is the T-stance.
The name derives
from the relative position of the feet. In the
photo, it is the right foot, which
is forward; if that foot were
drawn back to touch the left foot, the two feet
would form a
“T”. Feet are about shoulder width apart; the forward foot
points
in front of you; the rear foot is held at a 90 deg angle to
the forward foot.
Your body will naturally shift to about 45 deg
from front, but your head is
turned directly to the front. In this
you are least vulnerable to being pushed,
pulled, or knocked
down; your body offers less target than when you face full
front; you can shift your weight easily in all directions.
