NEUTRAL OR PASSIVE STANCE
Fundamentals
The neutral, or passive, stance is your natural, unprepared position. It is
extremely useful for all aspects of training, considering that, on the street, you
will most likely need to perform combatives and self-defense techniques without
any preparation. Be sure to train from this position at least part of the time when
working on combatives, and at all times when practicing self-defense techniques.
THE STANCE: Stand with your feet about hip-width apart (or less), with your
arms hanging to the sides.
