The right foot is in front and pointed towards your opponent. Left foot is a foot's length behind, heels in line and at 90 degrees to the right. Knees are comfortably bent. The body is upright, straight and turned at a 45 degree angle, halfway between the angle of the feet. The head is towards your opponent.
Arms are in a comfortable position, ready for combat.
Keep your right knee pointed towards your opponent or your body will tend to twist. Same as Right Hand Guard, but with the left foot forward. This is a more defensive guard, but several strong attacks can be made from this position. Lean your body slightly forward towards your opponent. Bend your knees to a greater of lesser extent.
