Karate: Fighting Stance

This one I haven't been able to find equivalant Japanese name. This might be an American Karate stance.

Execution of Fighting Stance:

  1. From attention stance usually
  2. Step back with left or right foot turning your body side ways with your feet parallel. You will still be looking towards the front
  3. Back hand comes up near your face between eye and ear with elbows tight protecting the ribs.
  4. Lead hand is in a fist down by your side
