Stances (Sohgi)
The following words are often used as commands. If this is the
case, the name of the stance is usually followed by the command
"Joonbi", which means to get ready into that stance. 'Naranhi'
sohgi is the beginning of each style form. It is not common to
give this stance as a command, so here only the term 'joonbi'
is used.
