Posture Training

[YouKnowWho]

Many people like to talk about posture training such as San Ti Shi, ... as if only "internal" guys know about posture training. Here are some posture training that external guys do. There are much harder to do than the San Ti Shi.

Without putting forces on the structure, what does this develop besides balance in that posture?

When are forces put on the structure to help the practitioner understand the nature of the posture and the point of it's collapse?

How does power get developed from standing in posture alone?

If you can maintain those for an hour without sweating , you are probably doing them right.

If you can't do the basic stance right, then more advanced will be harder to get right.

I think there's more similarities to MA than differences.

absolutely.

The human factor dictates this.

[sanjuro_ronin]

The more one sees of different MA, the more one sees of how all MA have more in common than they do different, even more so when it comes to practical application.

There are 3 stages for the posture training:

1. solo standing,
2. holding bricks in both hands standing,
3. standing but move your body.

The weight is added in the 2nd stage. The brick is easier to get than the stone lock.

The hardest is I know is to wrap your foot around a pole and hang there. It is difficult, but if you can achieve it, you can break any leg in throwing range.

This's "麻花(Ma Hua) - leg twist".

It's called "魁星点斗 (Kui Xing Dian Dou) - Kui Xing points at star".

People with 1/2

- full attitude like to see the "similiarity".
- empty attitude like to see the "difference".

Styles are just different tools to fix yourself, at the end you are at same place, 2 arms, one body and 2 legs all having to work together with same elements.

I believe "麻花(Ma Hua) - leg twist" is Baoding SC speciality.
