Where can I get a step-by-step, web print out, chart, or book on Kata Stances?

Go to any book store site an search on the style of martial arts that you wish to study. There are books available on most of the main styles that provide step by step kata pictures. They are difficult to learn kata from, but are great for reminding you what the next move is and the proper stances at the end of the moves.

Books are not sufficient. There is nothing like having an instructor move your legs. Once an eigth degree black belt fixed my head position. Apparently, it wasn't tilted enough. That is not something you'd find out about in a book.
Regardless, there are better ways of excersizing and stretching.

Depends on which martial art the kata is from!

i would avoid any type of Kata if i were you. Bruce lee's fighting style is much more effective because one is not bound by a single Kata, but instead is free to be a more versatile fighter.

You could probably get one from Barnes&Noble or amazon.
