It freak people out when I do that lol. "How does someone as big as you most that quietly?!?" some have said. Its basically like making your legs totally shock absorbers. Everything from your toes and feet to your knees and hips are slightly activated to allow for body support but not braced for maximum stability. It reminds me of someone playing Full/Half back in football. Move fast and then hit hard. I wonder if there would be any utility in the footwork drills for some. Who doesn't want to do tire or rope drills?
I have always thought of the deep stances in Karate and the like as a place to end up momentarily when getting hit and counter attack. When Brent would be showing us different things and he would throw a punch at me I always want to move into it. To basically punch his fist with my chest as I would set up to hit someone. I see that as how one would end up in a deep stance to setup an attack as it would then put you in a perfect position to launch towards them from a loaded stance. Instead of smashmouth football it would be smashmouth fighting depending on the situation.
