The Diagonal Cat Stance

http://youtu.be/X_7f385-KfQ

The Diagonal Cat Stance has many of the best features of both the Front Cat and the Side Cat.

I start in a Diagonal Horse and shift my weight to my back leg and draw it about one foot length back.

The Diagonal Cat also allows me to draw back at an angle to my attacker. I may shift back or block with either arm or my lead leg (if necessary).

I nay also counter with my lead arm or turn slightly and counter with my rear arm as well as kick with my lead leg.

I may also step again (a likely possibility).

But for every advantage, there is an equal and opposite disadvantage so skill must be developed and good judgment exercised when using The Diagonal Cat Stance.
