Exaggerate the forward feel, then dial the stance back

The instructor recounts that once a student had the feel of staying forward - hips much further forward and the pivot forward - he gradually moved the stance back to an ordinary position. The exaggerated forward position is a feel trainer, not a permanent setup. Exaggerate the forward pivot to learn the sensation, then return to a normal stance once you know what it should feel like.
