    My sensei always sweeps our front legs to make sure we're not putting weight on it, while making us sit in the stance while he tells a long story :)

      BennyNeb my Sensei does the same thing, and those stories. I am beginning to think it is a method. I even named it. I call it "senseimetrics" like isometric or static resistance via story telling. OSU!

    Another great video, sensei Jesse, thank you.
    I am a Wado-Ryu instructor and - if you don't mind - it's perhaps worth mentioning (for beginner and intermediate karateka), that 2 other practical applications, in addition to those you kindly mention for nekoashidachi, are: a) avoidance of having your front foot swept with an ashi barrai, as there is little or no weight on it, and b) it puts a very fast-strike weapon at the ready - a front-foot maegeri, as the weight is not on that leg, so no tell-tale shifting of the body is needed in order to fire it.
    We teach 3 lengths of cat-stance (as featured in our kata). The shortest has back foot at 30 degrees (hips 'shomen' or front-facing; the mid-length one has back foot at about 90 degrees, with hips 'mahanmi' or diagonal to target; our longest cat-stance has back foot at approx 135 degrees with hips 'hanmi' or fully side--on to target (at which point our hikite hand is a concealed weapon around the corner from the attacker's view). The longer the cat-stance, the more weight on the front foot, but the heel always raised, so the foot can be lifted fast.

    In Goju Ryu, there are a lot of nekoashi dachi and shiko dachi practices. One of the most difficult kihons is back to the nekoashi dachi with age uke and then forward to the zenkutsu dachi with gyaku tsuki and back. Then do the same to the other side.
