Annun Sogi or Joo-choom sogi is a
low stance used in Taekwondo and several other martial arts as a neutral
position, which also enables an individual to practice punching. It is known as
the 'horse-stance'. Feet are placed wide, around two shoulder widths apart and
the knees are deeply bent until the hamstrings lie parallel with the floor. The
back is kept straight. Arms are bent with closed, upturned fists held at the
hips. As each punch is directed forward, the fist swivels 180 degrees down to a
natural position before impact, turning back up again as it is retracted to the
sides.
This is a very arduous position
for the legs and lower back. While punches are being trained, other parts of
the body are receiving a workout. As a student progresses, his hips will begin
to open up and he will be able to achieve an even lower stance. Tests of
martial endurance are often based around maintaining this position for
protracted periods, holding other objects on outstretched arms or even
balancing them on the head. You can buy OlympicTaekwondo Tickets from Sport Ticket Exchange. Sport Ticket Exchange
