“Alright,” Viyara nodded. “The next thing that is important is one’s posture. Your back should be always straight and your knees slightly bent. That helps with all your movements and stabilises you.”

Juvri nodded as Viyara spoke, doing her best to demonstrate the posture. With a straight back, she bent her knees slightly at shoulder’s width.

“I practice mostly Taekwondo. So that’s what I’m going to basis this one,” Viyara continued. “It’s from a place called Korea and a types of weaponless self-defence where you use your hands, arms and feet to attack and to block. Okay?”

She nodded again, feeling like she should take notes or something. But the information was easy enough to commit to memory.

“There are a number of ways how you can position your feet. One of the basic ones looks like this,” Viyara said and shifted her legs. Her left leg was in front of her right leg, both feet pointing forward and plated firlmy on the ground. Her right leg was extended and her left leg bent with the centre of her weight being right in the middle.

Once again, Juvri mimicked Viyara’s stance, adjusting her legs so the left was in front of the right, her center of balance in the middle. However, the stance was not quite perfect. Her toes were pointed crookedly, and her feet were not well planted.

Viyara watched Juvri closely as she adjusted her stance. “This looks good already,” she said encouragingly as she crossed the small distance between them and stood right next to her on her left side, their bodies almost touching. “Just a few small things,” she continued. Bending forward, her hand hovering next to Juvri’s left ankle, she suddenly stopped mid-motion and looked up. “May I?”

Juvri nodded, watching Viyara. “My feet are in the wrong place?” She asked.

“Just slightly,” Viyara replied and then placed her hand lightly on Juvri’s foot. Once she had adjusted it’s position, she did the same with her other foot, making sure the toes on both of them were pointing straight forward.

Still standing very close to her, their bodies touching slightly, Viyara said, “If you can’t place both feet fully on the ground, which is perfectly fine, you should shorten your step a little. Stability in your stance is very important as a lot of your strength comes from there. Not to mention that it makes blocking a lot easier.”

Juvri nodded, and keeping her feet straight, firmly planted them. “Does this look better?” She asked. She didn’t really get how she put her feet was so important, but she wanted to do it right. To impress Viyara, for one, and she really wanted to know. If she kept learning from Viyara, maybe she’d get really good at it.
