Ah, "pu bu"... Probably the stance that ruined by pubis tendons 15 years ago, forcing me to stop Gong fu. Now today, with the quarantine, I resumed gong fu on a whim and got the same problems. However, looking back, I think these problems comes from: - Hip mobility (probably the most important factor) - Weak gluteal muscle - Adductor and hamstring insufficient flexibility These are probably things I have neglected all this time at the gym, and things that got even weaker during remote-work at home. Now it's time to re-think everything over, and start over, on a good basis.
My good friend always tells me injuries give us an opportunity to reevaluate our body and discover and improve our weaknesses. She usually says this as she's resetting my back haha jiayou!
@@junhongskungfuclub2804 Physical Therapist here, have you tried loaded stretching? Generally very effective if you reach a plataeu when increasing flexibility. Also remember that the achilles tendon is formed of two muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus), one of which you can only stretch when your knee is bent as you will be inhibited by the gastrocnemius and stretch that one first if you always stretch it having your knee straight.
I have, and the results are amazing. I have never personally had issues with my achilles and am hesitant to give any advice on the matter myself as it is not my scope of practice so I really appreciate your input, thank you
Thank you so much for all the tips 🙏🏼✨ I have trouble going out of pu bu, either from pu bu to gong bu or pu bu to pu bu on the other side. Can you give some tips on how to do it what to strenghten or train to be able to do it one day? Thank you ☺️
骏宏武館Shaolin Kung Fu Really glad to have a response from you Sifu. Even it is out of shape, slowly and sloppily I can do spinning back sweeps. But the front looks impossible. I can’t maintain the motion. Maybe improving the back will be better at first. So I would ask for the back sweeps first.
You know that moment you sink into it and you ‘describe the whole body sinking into it, and it’s not just the ankle,’? You are describing psoas release. If people are struggling with pubu and they don’t know why they are not making progress because they cannot make that sinking moment, it’s because they need to work on relaxing their psoas muscle. I know it helped me ten fold.
A sure sign of tight psoas is that people sweat like crazy and are exhausted after stretching (especially when doing pubu or crouch squat) And they have tight hips and knees (pinching on the outside).Once they relax the psoas, a lot of stuff comes together.
Thanks for this tutorial! I find Pu Bu by far one of the hardest basic stances and I'm looking forward to trying out some of these tips!
Thank you for these simple explanations and demonstration tips for pu bu

what stretches would you recommend?
Dear sifu, Can you make a video about, dynamic crouch leg trips? 🔥😍
Yes I will make one specifically for you my friend. Just wondering if you prefer I do it on front sweep or back sweeps?
