For the majority of the students the stances are the hardest obstacle to over come. In order to over come this problem, students must be constantly aware of were their feet and body position are at all times. Even though the stances are difficult at first with time and practice they will become second nature.
A proper stance is very important because without a proper stance you will not have the stability needed nor will you have power needed behind your strikes and blocks, by not using a proper stance you will also sacrifice mobility. You will need to perfect each stance in a stationary position as well as practice changing from stance to stance, while keeping an upright body position or shoulders over hips at all times while executing a technique or a kata.
One of the first things people notice about Kenpo is the fluidity that Kenpo stylist have and one thing that contributes to that fluidity is the capability to move from different stance while performing a technique or kata.
