The joys of kiba dachi (horse stance)

There's something about it. The root, the ch'i. Sure, it has its flaws. At first blush, it appears 2 dimensional, off balance. But a deep horse stance is stable. You see it in sumo. It is a place of balance, but its advantages are hidden, like sanchin dachi. Only years will unlock this koan.
