GREAT ADVANTAGE OF THE BOW-ARROW STANCE
The Bow-Arrow Stance gives the kungfu practitioner great advantage. Without moving away but by sinking his body back, he can avoid a Boxer's attacks
One of the many great advantages Shaolin Kungfu has over Boxing is the Bow-Arrow Stance. It is ironical that many kungfu practitioners discard the stance and bounce about. By adopting a Bow-Arrow Stance, a Shaolin practitioner can readily deflect or avoid a Boxer’s attacks and then counter-strike without having to move his feet. This gives him much technical speed, and overcomes the real-time speed Boxers have. Reminder: it is very important to cover a Boxer adequately before counter-striking him.
