    The perfect horse stance is not tops of thighs parallel with the ground. The fact that I see this parroted all around the internet shows just how little understanding of actual body mechanics and structure people have. At lowest for training the bottoms of the thighs would be parallel to the ground.

    Agreed

    everyone is just tearing Jake a new one at every turn. Its far from perfect, but with some minor adjustments it could be.

    if the chump wasn't so self centered and a fukkin fraud.....he could get some good pointers from people. as it is, he thinks he is completely perfect in every way. no one is as good as he or can do things for as long as he claims. punk ass chump i say.

    also, that whack ass horse stance he's doing isn't good for nothin but a pose. he'd get clobbered clubber lang style.

    agreed

    I noticed you are the most disgruntaled of all, understandable so.

    He definately needs to be knocked down a few notches.

    Its funny what can happen to a guy in a couple years.He used to be pretty humble kid.

    I guess after being kicked out twice and winning a lawsuit against Sin The' hes pretty full of himself.








    btw the Shaolin Wu Hsing form is from the book. period.

    if the chump didn't steal our form, re-label it, and then has no obvious clue to how its performed or applied, i could care less. but i HATE kungarate especially when their isn't a true gung fu root to that chumpish tree.

    LOL, you funny guy. Hung Gar War Palm horse stance is as low as one should go, otherwise use a practice bar and do the Limbo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ_gE2S465w

    What are you referring to here? War palm the fairly recently created form that is done in some Hung Gar lineages (no specific stance is associated with this form that I am aware of), or an actual stance called War Palm Horse Stance?

    You know, I barely read that discussion on this guy, and dont really care either way. I found this clip and didnt know it was the same guy until it was just mentioned. Anyway, I put this up not to beat the guy down although I did find it obnoxious, but to raise the question "how do we determine what is the perfect horse stance" and see what people think.

    How did he qualify that to be the perfect horse stance? Hes not the first one either to do it like that and think it glows. But how do others feel about this stance and how it should be performed?

    Might as well put my own opinion too. I think the bottom of the thighs should be level with the top of the knees, otherwise the hips are too open and lose power and stability, mostly when transitioning. I also think the feet should be angled outward, around 15 to 30 degrees, to that the knees are not too stressed. Looking from the side, the crown of the head should be over the perineum, and the perineum should be over the instep of the foot. You cant put too much strain on the joints with torquing them, and you have to be able to transition properly, so I think it can be qualified but needs to be asked why.

    self appointed. feels it was mandated by the god of Kungarate. FUK HIM

    the guy sticks his chest and and arches his back and talks about how he flexes his biceps. **** HIM. lol

    i still can't get over him saying that a monkey has a BEAK. a fukin beak, and in the form he does he says the monkey raises twin beaks.

    MONKEY BEAKS......
    while using MANTIS HANDS TO BOOT!

    he won't fight in that horse....so why practice it so wide? cause he's GREAT...just ask the chump.

    Horse for fighting and horse for developing the body are done differently. The horse for training builds and develops attributes used in the horse "stance" one would use fighting, but in fighting it is a shape you move through, and must be dynamic. There seems to be so much misunderstanding out there in the Chinese martial arts.

    it's all the monkey beaks. Those don't help one iota.

    That guy's horse stance is "too wide".

    If you use your right foot to "spring" his left foot from inside out, it doesn't take much force to take him down. That's the principle - if you want to stand wide, I'll help you to stand even wider. If he makes that horse stance smaller, you will find it gets harder to "spring" him down. When he makes his horse stance much smaller, you will find out that it gets much more harder to spring his left leg from inside out. But you will also find out that it will get easier to sweep his left foot from outside in. That's the principle - if you want to stand narrow, I'll help you to stand narrower. When you find that balance point, it's hard to spring from inside, and also hard to sweep from outside, you have found the "best horse stance".

    It's a bell curve. There is only one spot that can give you the best balance for your horse stance.
