Walking Stance
Korean: Gunnun Sogi

The front leg is bent, with the knee over the ankle, while the back leg is straight. The rear foot is turned out approximately 25 degrees.
Weight distribution: 50/50.

L-Stance
Korean: Niunja Sogi

The rear leg is bent and the forward leg is almost straight. The toes of both feet point inwards slightly. The body is always either side or half facing in this stance.
Weight distribution: 70 percent of the weight is on the rear leg.

Fixed Stance
Korean: Gojung Sogi

Fixed stance is similar to a lengthened L-stance, except that the weight distribution is even and both legs are equally bent. Whether it is a left or right stance is therefore determined by the forward leg.

Sitting Stance
Korean: Annun Sogi

In sitting stance, sine wave is generated by almost straightening the knees, then bending them. Weight distribution is 50/50. There is no obverse or reverse.

Parallel Ready Stance
Korean: Narani Junbi Sogi

This is the basic ready stance in Taekwon-Do. Weight distribution is 50/50. Movements may be performed in this stance - sine wave is generated by coming up onto the balls of the feet and dropping the body's weight.
