DB - The Three Integral Stances

With Sabina Storberg

From Drills and Basics

In this foundational video, we introduce the three core stances that ground the WeaponUP practice—each one essential for building strength, stability, and flow.

You’ll learn:

  • Ma Bu / Squat – the rooted horse stance (squat), foundational for power and endurance
  • Pu Bu / Ninja Stance – a deep side lunge for agility, mobility, and grace
  • Gong Bu / Warrior Stance – the classic forward lunge that fuels directional strength and transitions

These three stances blend the foundational postures of Kung Fu and Tai Chi with the warrior archetypes of yoga, forming the structural backbone of WeaponUP.

Mastering these positions will not only support your technique, but also unlock the fluid transitions and strong shapes that define your sword flow. This is where grounded, confident energy begins.
