In the Tiger Stance (also called Cat Stance, Rear-Foot Stance (especially in ITF Taekwondo), or beom seogi):
- The front foot is pointed forward; just the balls of the foot are on the ground, the heel is lifted four to five inches. Very little weight is on the front foot.
- The rear foot is flat on the floor. The rear foot is pointed 30 degrees outward. Essentially all of your body weight is on your rear leg.
Both knees are bent.
