Video Transcript

"This is Master Yun Yang Wang from Wang’s Martial Art and on behalf of the Expert Village and this is one of our black belts, Ms. Esmeralda Sanchez. On this clip, we’re going to demonstrate cross stance. The cross stance is a low stance to build up stability and the leg strength and the punching hand gives a longer reach to the opponents. And notice the bodies are straight up. Notice the leg part and the back leg and this is a great way to build up leg strength. And the actual reach by adding shoulder and arm length. In the meantime, this is a low strike, which is very effective in the Kung Fu technique. Notice the position of the foot and the actual reach of the length and the low position will help spring action for the technique. Thank you. "
