In the CT Stance, which statement correctly describes a component of the stance?

• A. Movement to the Front
• B. Feet Shoulder Width
• C. Strong Leg should be back
• D. Movement in the proper direction

Answer: (C)

Power and balance in the CT stance come from loading the back leg. Keeping the strong leg back anchors your hips, allowing them to rotate into a strike or step and supplying the power you’ll drive from. With weight toward the back foot, your front leg stays lighter and ready to move, while your torso stays aligned toward the target and protected. This setup creates a stable base, enables quick transitions, and helps you respond to changes in direction without losing balance. The other statements describe movement or general spacing, but they don’t capture the defining feature of the stance—the back leg acting as the primary source of stability and power.
