At the Authentic Shaolin Institute, students develop skills in a multitude of ways, jogging occassionally is a simple sporting fact and weights well they typical as well.
To explain at ASI if a student is practising Tiger system (This incorporates Hung gar's, Bai Hu Pai (White Tiger), Hay Say Fu, Fujian TIger, HeihuQuan (Black Tiger)....) it is essential to develop the stance so an hour of stance training solely daily is the basics, push ups are then used in a variety of ways, wrist weights/rings are used in practising basics, coconuts are used to develop gripping power (training til can crush coconut in fastest time), simple introductory tiger claw skill training (similar to iron palm but tiger specific) to strenthen the loins, forearm exercises, spirit meditation, and bolder training are some examples in addition to other such specific excercises not to be outlined. This is solely for tiger all the other styles develop power differently.
In Xing Yi Quan 12 animals are present yet it is the 5 elements that are most in important so the emphasis is radically different to external styles such as southern 5 animals. In Xing yi the standing and moving stance meditation is the quintessence. So training in skills should be specific to the specialisation. It would take forever to outline specifics for every style as after simple strength training technique and a multitude of other factors become involved.
