Bai Mei Quan Basic Horse Stance 6: Retrograde triangulation

"Having mastered the Five Core Horse Stances, we now integrate them into dynamic motion systems . Observe: stances transcend static postures—they live in transitional footwork and tactical reflex development . Today's objectives:

Master stance transitions: advance/retreat/pivot/rapid disengagement

Achieve dynamic equilibrium : stability + mobility symbiosis

Apply combat functionality through biomechanical economy

Drill Demonstration: Triangle Stance (Sam Gok Ma) Mobility

A. Forward Transition:

"Anchor in Triangle Stance" (knees torque 45° outward, sacrum dropped )

"Right foot executes diagonal advance :

└ Phase 1: Slide toward left foot's arch (knee alignment check )

└ Phase 2: Pivot 40° externally (metatarsal screw ground contact )

"Reconfigure stance geometry":

└ Maintain 70% weight rear leg (kinetic chain preservation )

└ Hips coil for whip-kick potential

B. Retrograde Transition:

"Reset Triangle Stance" (groin tension at 80% capacity )

"Right foot initiates angled retreat :

└ Heel-first mechanics : Externally rotate 30° (protect knee hinge )

└ Glide along obtuse vector toward left heel

"Finalize retreat triangle ":

└ Rear heel locks at 55° angle (anti-sweep fortress )

└ Centerline gravity maintained through scapula depression
