STANCE STANCES

Syntax: stance <style>

In combat, the stance of the fighter plays a very important role; you can't just stand there and exchange blow for blow unless you are very confident of your ability. Each fighting stance has advantages and disadvantages, the basic outline of which follows:

crane : A solid stance, letting you hold your ground, while providing good defensive moves.

mongoose : A light-footed stance, which relies on leaps and acrobatics to keep you out of harms way.

viper : A fast, striking stance, which sacrifices defence for speed and accuracy.

bull : A low stance designed for very powerful and aggressive attacks.


ASTANCES ADVANCED-STANCES

Advanced stances are a combination of two other basic stances - To use them, you must be Grand Master in two basic stances, although you have to find out which ones yourself! The types of stances are these:

swallow : Quick and agile, this stance keeps you moving, and is the ultimate defensive stance.

cobra : A well rounded stance, combining speed of offense with a solid defense.

panther : Fast, and agile, leaping attacks that provide defence and rain constant blows down on your opponent.

lion : A solid stance, that sacrifices defence for an all out offensive assault.

grizzlie : A nasty combination of solid defence, with attacks of raw power make this a stance to be feared.

falcon : Just like the falcon, this stance is agile, and yet able to make powerful, punishing attacks.

Remember, you have to find yourself out which basic stances you need to get
