The wrestler's feet should be placed on the mat so the wrestler's body weight is distributed through the arch of this foot tot he balls of his feet. All movable joints are flexed. His knee and hop joints are positioned so they are under his shoulders and in a balanced position over his body's center of gravity. The long axis of his body is inclined forward and erect. The vertebrae are in a vertical position and not bent to the left or right. His shoulders are held ina position perpendicular to the long axis of his body. his head is held up and not allowed to drop toward the mat. his upper arm is close to his body and essentially parallel to his backbone. His forearms and hands are in front of his body forming a 90 degree angle to his upper arm.
These positions are designed to keep the major muscle groups in a functional position in relation to the body's center of gravity and the individual muscle's maximal functioning position. The totality of mind, muscle, nerve and heart must be in a relaxed state ready to initiate or react.
A great deal of time must be spent learning a correct stance that enables the wrestler to be ready to wrestler and to be free of any self-imposed emotional, psychological and physical limitations.
