Posture recovery means rebuilding stronger body alignment after it has been broken, pulled forward, twisted, or otherwise weakened.
Quick definition
Posture recovery means rebuilding stronger body alignment after it has been broken, pulled forward, twisted, or otherwise weakened.
Beginner translation
You got folded or dragged out of shape, and now you are rebuilding the body position you need to work well again.
Why it matters
Beginners learn that many techniques fail because posture is lost first. Posture recovery teaches how to rebuild the platform before trying to attack again.
What beginners should know
A common mistake with posture recovery is using it passively instead of with structure and timing.
Common class phrases

- during grip fights
- in standing exchanges
