Which term translates to Side Stance?

• A. Tora
• B. Sa Ko Rip Ja Seh
• C. Dwi Ro Tora
• D. Ku Ryung Up Shi

Answer: (B)

Understanding vocabulary for stances in Tang Soo Do helps you read forms and drills more accurately. Sa Ko Rip Ja Seh is the term used in WTSDA for a specific stance where the body is turned to the side and the weight is positioned to support quick sideways movement. This is the stance that students associate with a side-facing posture, hence it translates to Side Stance. The other terms describe different stances or movements, so they don’t carry the same sideward meaning. Recognizing this term lets you execute or recognize side-oriented blocks and steps more fluently in practice.
