My Stance Is Too Wide and I Cannot Move Out of It
01 · The Situation
You feel stable but stuck. Your legs are far apart and when you need to go somewhere fast, the base that was supposed to help you is what is holding you back.
02 · Your Turn
Narrow your stance by one foot-width — slightly closer than feels natural. Spar one round in this stance. It will feel wrong. Notice whether you can actually move faster. Notice whether the instability is as bad as you expected. Come back after the round.
