Jaim nodded when the boys took their positions. 
"Now the most basic stance and most used is teh same as for a fist fight. why is it the most useful? It gives you good balance with the ability to dodge and jump in. although there are different stance for different weapons, but with this stance and this footwork, you can use it with any weapon type. So for now let us train in it."

Drawing a straight line on the ground with his stick he placed his feet on it. 
"Okay, now you stand paralel with the line, you put your left foot after the line so the heel is touching the line. Your right foot comes before the line so teh fingers are touching it. If your facing twelve o'clock, than your left food should be between eleven and twelve and your right between one and two. the distance between your feet should be about teh same as your shoulder or a little less."

Jaim checked how the boy was standing. "Aiden its all good except your right foot is a tad too back, move it forward for a little bit."
 
satisfied by the boys foot placement, he continued. " Now crouch down a little. any foot placement is no good if your legs aren't bent a little. Argurios watch carefully, and learn teh theoretical part, so you can practise it once you heal" Jaim checked if the boy was listening, it appeared so, but there a difference between listening and learning.
