I don't know about poses (try the RMP for martial arts poses), but references (as can be deduced) can be found in martial arts references. Japanese martial arts (aikido, jujutsu, karate) always start out with the politenesses - bowing, kneeling, sitting, bowing while kneeling. In the martial arts, these are called 'Rei' or 'Rei-hou' (etiquette). Standing bow - shizen rei Sitting bow - seiza rei Open Sitting bow - fudo za rei Half-kneeling bow before fight - jinchu rei

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
