Do you have a stance?

Yes, I speak of a fighting stance.

Mine, is a defensive to parry stance; I wait for the aggressor to make the first move, then I react to it.

What about yours?

Growing up, the my neighbor friends and had would play fight til it gets too serious. Looking back, it was very much like fight club.

Ever since I was a kid I instinctively put my shin up. Is that a good stance? I don’t know. Probably not because I can be off balance.

@Bignakedguy No. Off balance, shin is a painful place to be hit and the knee cap can be shattered easily in this position.

Nope. That said, it's a decent position for a swift kick, but only at close quarters when one has their opposer off-guard.
