About

Moa junbi sogi C is in ITF taekwondo a ready stance (junbi sogi) with feet together (moa sogi) and the hands in position C. According to the Do TaeKwon-Do page, based on the Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, the practitioner stands with the feet together, holds the hands about 10 centimetres from the abdomen and looks forward along a horizontal line. Exactly how the hands in position C differ from variants A and B, which the New Zealand ITKD manual lists among the kup requirements, is something we have not been able to confirm in the sources. In the tul Yoo-Sin it is, per the dotaekwondo.net breakdown, the 40th movement: the practitioner draws the right foot to the left and takes the close ready stance C.
