I agree with Doc.
Every single stance out there is based off of the "Horse Stance" that has any merit in actual hand to hand fighting. <--- my words not Doc's I just said I agree with him
1/2 Horse right and left (Forward Bow or Reverse Bow)
Twist Stance I have also heard it being called a Twisted Horse or a Wind Up Horse.
A neutral bow is a horse stance, with a differnt angle and mind set then the training horse.
Look at a western boxer's stance, then look at how they used to stand in the old photo's of the bare knuckle bouts.
"A stance is just a moment in time frozen" one of my favorite sayings. A little help on who quoted it otherwise I claim it LOL
That being said how does a cat stance become a cat stance or a wide kneel become a wide kneel? Transitioning through your horse stance during movement is how! With someone snapping a picture or starting a training session from it.
Stances are just points of reference.
Note - Be advised I am just a student and always will be. Things I say and take for truths today may not be 2 mos, 2 years or 2 decades from now. It is the level I am at now and I am just stating what I know now. However little or however much that is in relationship to your own knowledge please take it with a grain of salt or sugar. What ever your taste is.
