OIL AND MUD STANCE TRAINING

[fiercest tiger]

has anyone trained stances in a mud pit or a oil/grease pit before?

The ykm grandmaster was said to train his stances in a mud pit up to his waist high for power and oil for rooting/grip!

what does your style do for training power and rooting?

any interesting stories? :)

We frequently put weights resting on our knees.
Does two 'great' things in horse stance. One keeps your stance flush. Two if your legs shake to much the weight falls off. This forces you to keep control and not simply let your body shake like a moron. Still its also darn hard.
In Hung Ga we are big on good stances and rooting. We do several two man strength sets that are basicaly a game of keeping your stance. We also have to stay in stance whilst being pushed with a constant force, which again teachs you how to divert force into the floor.
Still got lots more stance training yet to go ill bet. So waiting to see what other torture i have instore.

you cant win all the time but you cant always lose either...

--ice is nice, plenty of it where i am, requires exactness of stepping with control in all phases of movement, loading, unloading, foot placement, wt. transfer ...

--streams with decent current flow & slippery rocks r good as well.

--snow piled up on a frozen pond is good, never know which will be dominant in any step, the more stable snow or the underlying ice.

--all done solo & with training bro.

Not too common in Australia, but ice training is great. Frozen lakes or icy parking lots.

Excellent training, you'll know if your stance is wrong right away... Watch out for pulled groin muscles.

Also try gathering up rocks and sticks and littering your training area with them, then doing patterns over and around the mess.
