How do I set character's position when performing animation?

[frigid flax]

I have a few punching animations that look really weird when used because the character does them when standing up, how do I set the character to be in this position before performing the animation?

specifically if i could get players to stay in this animation

I would say make 2 different animations and play them one before the other

for this, you will just have to put the animation on loop and then manually stop it

[fickle crag]

make an Idle animation(looped) and then you can freely play punching ones
