Which Korean term corresponds to the Ready Stance?

• A. Choon Bee Ja Seh
• B. Chun Kul Ja Seh
• C. Hu Kul Ja Seh
• D. Kee Ma Ja Seh

Answer: (A)

Focusing on the stance used to prepare for movement, the Ready Stance is the position you adopt to signal you’re prepared to act and to set up proper balance and alignment. In WTSDA terminology, that posture is called Choon Bee Ja Seh. It literally conveys being ready and readying your body for the next technique, which is why it’s the term used for the Ready Stance. This stance helps you establish stable footing and focus so you can transition smoothly into punches, blocks, or steps. The other terms refer to different stances used for power, stability, or specific movements, so they don’t denote the Ready Stance.
