Talk:Horse stance

Article name

shouldn't this article be named Horse riding stance? --MarSch 12:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, but it might make sense to create a redirect there that points back to this article. I've very occasionally heard a very few people refer to it as "horse riding stance," but the overwhelmingly commonly used English name for the stance is simply "horse stance," without "riding." The former may be a more accurate description of the stance, but not a more accurate name. —Erik Harris 15:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the name _is_ a description, so I fail to see your point. --MarSch 11:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Simply that it's name isn't "horse riding stance," so naming the article "horse riding stance" doesn't make sense. Some people have called it a horse riding stance in an effort to describe it to novices, but the widely accepted (English) name of the stance is simply "horse stance" (no "riding"), from the Chinese name, mǎbù ("horse step"), not "mǎchéngbù" ("horse mount step" - or would it be chéngmǎbù? I don't know any Chinese grammar). —Erik Harris 15:21, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

heh, I guess if the Chinese made the same mistake we might as well ;) I'll create the redirect. --MarSch 17:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The proper name of the stance is "Horse Riding Stance" with "Horse Stance" being the common colloquialism Puppykhan (talk) 06:43, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The full Chinese name is qi ma bu, "Horse Riding Stance". Ma bu is the short version.

"Horse Stance" is probably fine as the article name, but the first sentence or two could mention that it's short for "Horse Riding Stance".2600:6C50:800:2787:5848:1F23:A6C4:1530 (talk) 06:27, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for this may be that the Japanese, kiba-dachi, for "horse stance" may be translated as "horse riding stance". Despite this, it is somewhat more efficient (as well as more prevalent) to refer to it as "horse stance" in English. Bradford44 04:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keema Jasay

I train in Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do, and where I study this stance is also referred to as "Keema Jasay". Does anyone know the correct Romanization or Hangul to write this out for inclusion in this article? ~Some cool guy (talk) 21:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

5 types of horse stance?

This is a major factual error. There is 1 horse stance with 2 variations, northern and southern, with the northern style emphasizing the feet wider with a lower center of gravity. The other stances listed seem to be entirely unrelated stances such as Bow & Arrow, Light Leg, etc, none of which belong here as they are not types of Horse Stance. Similarly, the descriptions "used for..." sound like nonsense, or extremely narrow opinions at best. The closest similar stance is Side Horse which is not described here.

Umm ...an entire section on efficacy and all it contains is a single opinion from bruce lee? basura! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.65.215.149 (talk) 03:50, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incoherent article

If the Austronesian/Indian horse stance has nothing to do with East Asian horse stance, I suggest remove it from the article. BarbarianInvader5thcentury (talk) 10:25, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
