Authentic Ssireum Deep Stance Characteristics:

• 씨름 자세 (Ssireum Jase): Traditional Korean wrestling deep squat
• ULTRA WIDE stance 2.8x shoulder width (~1.1m+) for maximum stability
• Both knees bent to ~80° (극한 굽힘) - DEEP sumo-like squat

• Arms low ready for 샅바잡기 (Satbajapgi - belt/thigh grabs)
• Hands at hip level for 허리후리기 (Heori Hurigi - hip throw preparation)

Biomechanical Analysis:

• Ultra-wide stance lowers center of gravity below opponent's
• Deep squat provides explosive upward throwing power
