Hi guys

well few days ago my girlfriend and I had a bit of a discussion about the correct stance during a kamae. (ohh.. yes... she has been learning kendo for about 3 years {nikyu}, and I {gokyu}, only have been learning it for about 5 months, but yet my fighting ability is the same level as her and the people in her level).

The problem is that what I was taught is that we have our weight mostly on the right foot (the back leg), approx 70% right and 30% left and also most of our weight going forward. But what she was taught is to have 70% on the left and 30% on the right and having most weight of our wieght going forward.

Now the question is... who is correct???
Is most of our weight suppose to be on the left foot or the right foot???

hope you guys can answer the problem....
