Stand sideways
After you have strengthened yourself, you must focus on improving the position. Note that, fighting stance plays a vital role in the success of a combat. For this, you must not stand straight, as this position will make you more vulnerable and you will have a very little chance of defending yourself. You must analyse your stronger side and keep that side on the back. For example, if your left arm and kick is stronger, you should place your right side at the front and keep your left side at back. -
