diagonal stance (sasun sogi)

This is very useful for shifting into a walking stance without relocating the foot. The principle for a sitting stance is directly applied except that the heel of the front foot is placed on the same line with the toes of the rear foot. It is used for attacking and defending against the front or rear.

When the right foot is advanced, the stance is called a right diagonal stance and vice-versa. It can be either full facing or side facing both in attack and defense.
