Front leg when jabbing

[HerbM]

Cheers HerbM, great advice as ever. I think you got it spot on about not bending MORE when jabbing as he kept telling me 'not to bend' but you obviously need to have a slight bend in your front leg otherwise you wouldn't get the reach.

Yes, and in fact I almost never have my legs straightened fully for anything -- perhaps with momentary exceptions and I am not even sure about that.

Even soldiers standing at attention don't actually fully lock out the knee -- doing this leads to passing out when at attention for long periods, and at best makes it difficult to move when ordered to turn or march.

[Thanks for the reputation points as well.]
