The stance is the foundation from which every technique is launched. It creates the firm ground for strong attacks and the agility for speedy attacks. But it is not a fixed foundation.
In free combat, the stances of the combatants are in constant flux. To identify a specific stance in the flurry of action is almost impossible. There appears to be a ceaseless combination of transitional movements as the fighters struggle for the advantage.
Junsado training recognizes both the need for transition and the need for a strong foundation by categorizing stances by type rather than fixed positions. At the most basic level there are two types of stance: half stance and full stance.
