'''Transitional stances''' trade stability for mobility. These “necessary evils” are only to be used when changing from one [[Stances|stance]] to another. Transitional stances are exited the moment they are entered, to maximize your stability and your fluidity of motion. Untrained eyes never see a transitional stance, as they are one frame in the video of your motion. However, they ''must'' be there to ensure that you aren’t cutting corners.

[[Goshin-Jutsu]]’s common transitional stances are:
* [[Cat stance]] (used in stepping and [[Evasions|evasion]] techniques)
* [[Crane stance]] (used to setup [[Kicks|kicks]])
* [[Hook stance]] (used to turn around, or to drive spinning techniques)
* [[Sanchin dachi]] (in the context of being used to change directions and/or [[Tenkan|tenkan]])
* [[Kneeling]] (when recovering from prone positions)

Again, ''do not remain in transitional stances for any prolonged time,'' since your balance can be easily compromised from these positions.
