What is the number of basic stances in karate?

Answer 1

It will depend on the school or style of karate. The basic two are the front stance and the back stance. There is the horse stance and the long front stance. Those four are found in pretty much every style. Others are Naihanchi stance and crooked cat stance. The instructors will help you with learning them in the proper order.

Answer 2

There are many moves in Taekwondo. Some can include hand to hand combat or maybe weapons from a range. I would say well over fifty in many different genre's.

There are over 50 distinct hand techniques alone; there are over a dozen hand blocks, plus about a half-dozen foot blocks. And there are over two dozen kick variations.

Then there are over a dozen stances, countless throws, grabs, and jointlocks (arguably borrowed from hapkido and other arts).

For ITF, there are 24 forms (hyung); for WTF, there are 25 (8 taeguek, which replaced 8 palgawes, and 9 black belt forms).

Answer 3

One useful taekwondo kick combination is a front-foot roundhouse kick followed by a back-foot round house kick.

Another useful taekwondo kick combination is a spinning round house kick followed by a front-foot round house kick.

One of my personal favorite combinations is a round house kick followed by a back kick.
