Kosa Dachi-Cross-leg stance
See Master Nagamine's Text page 67 for a complete description.
Key words "cross-leg"....... the legs cross,
"taking balance on one leg"....... the supporting/ forward foot/leg.
"the legs are pressed together".
Note figure 13 (first and second views) how the rear leg knee is forward
of the supporting leg calf,
this allows for a stronger "foundation/stance, it also prepares for a
kick with the rear leg.
also see page 85 figure 8,
page 90 figure 24.... for the kosa dachi stance while
using different hand/arm movements.
