I find this stance(horse) is more than Chi Kung Horse Stance use for training the tendons...I see it as also a transitional stance when fighting. Which allows you utilize your knees and both kicking legs easily. Also it allows you to switch elbow striking posistions and cycle with both elbows....

The Horse is 50/50...So you can have equal power with both striking hands. How ever its a temporary posistion to get off a series of elbows or set your opponent up for SLT based strike. You should move from YGKYM to Ding Ma...From Ding Ma one should either Biu Ma or Toh Ma..But at times when YGKYM is more beneficial one should utilize it.

Have you been able to utilize YGKYM whilst sparring?
