What is the difference between 姿勢 vs 態勢 vs 体勢？
## 態勢

Preparedness for response that is temporary or limited. (For standardized,
sustained, or permanent systems and functions, use 体制 instead.)

  * 着陸態勢に入る _prepare for landing_
  * 移民の受け入れ態勢を整える _prepare for accepting immigrants_

## 体勢

Bodily posture, position, or form.

  * 有利な体勢 _advantageous position_
  * 射撃体勢 _shooting position_

## 姿勢

Bodily posture or position; attitude.

  * 姿勢がいい _have good posture_
  * 謙虚な姿勢 _humble attitude_

When referring to bodily postures, I seem to use 姿勢 when mainly the spine is
involved, and 体勢 when limbs are involved. They're pretty interchangeable
though.

* * *
