101 Parring Techniques for the Uncoordinated

Chapter 5: Stance Work - Because Your Opponent's Mom Still Lives in a Small Town

When it comes to parring, a good stance is crucial. You want to be ready for anything, even if that means your opponent's grandma is coming for you with a rolling pin.

Here are a few key takeaways to remember:

• Keep your weight evenly distributed, like a seesaw with one end in the air.
• Keep your arms loose, but not too loose - you're not a rag doll, you're a parrer.
• Keep your eyes focused, but not too focused - you might miss a well-placed punch to the nose.
