Additionally, holding the opponent’s arm gives you another point of contact with the ground, improving your balance, just like the poles in subways or airport trams. Then, enter a walking or fighting [[Crane stance|crane stance]], raising your knee must be higher than your hips (“past parallel”).

 #'''Stepping out''' -- After kicking, return to a bent-knees [[attention stance|attention stance]], and slide either leg into whatever stance you chose.
