"CAT STANCE" This is a retreating stance in combat and thus defensive. You step back into a cat stance. The arms are crossed for protection and the lead leg is ready for quick lifting. It is called light foot because only 10% of the weight should be on your lead leg. You are going to use it to lift the leg up either with the knee as a block or the foot as a jam. You will be very fast to react because so much of the weight is on the back foot. Make sure that the rear leg is bent or you may end up getting knocked back if you throw a lead leg kick.
Another defensive application for the Cat stance is the Cat stance pivot. This is used to avoid forward attacks like a front kick, or weapon thrust. Normally, you step back into a cat stance. But, for the Cat Stance Pivot, you simply turn and drop into cat stance.

Interesting to see the differences between Ninjitsu and Ju Jitsu. In ju jitsu we'd break the arm at 0.08, I suppose you wouldn't in Ninjitsu because it would make them scream?

this would b good if u didnt have to break the guys wrist in application (in a r/l senario) where as a basic wreasling takedown is effective and safe for you and your opponent (unless on concrete lol!)
