duckwalks
Crouches and advances
Duckwalks is the plural of duckwalk, a way of moving while squatting with knees bent, waddling forward in a low crouch.
The gait resembles a duck's waddle.
It appears in physical training as a demanding exercise, and in music as Chuck Berry's signature stage move—shuffling across stage while playing guitar in a deep squat: The drill sergeant had us doing duckwalks across the field.
