Heisoku dachi (literally: “closed-feet stance”), the attention stance is analogous to the attention posture used by militaries around the world. This is the position one assumes during formalities, such as bowing.
Stand upright, with your back ramrod straight, keeping the chin up, chest out, shoulders back, and stomach in. Your arms are perfectly straight, and fixed at your side. Both feet point directly forward, with both heels touching, and both big toes touching. Your head and eyes look forward, without looking around. No smiling or goofing-around; act serious, act professional.
