Zhan Zhuang has been the single greatest asset to me as a martial artist.
I practice western boxing, and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-jitsu).
With my boxing, it's helped me to maintain my balance, move around the ring better and it's even taught me new ways to through punches! It's taught me the importance of using my kinetic chain and obviously increased my cardio.
With my BJJ, it has helped me to strengthen my guard and it gives me a more intuitive sense of moving around and with my opponent. Its also vastly improved my takedown defense, it's hard to explain but I just know where my opponent is going to go and I can prevent them from doing so.
If it weren't for Zhan Zhuang, I would be nowhere near as good as I am now in my respective martial arts.
When I go pro as a boxer and as I acquire new bjj belts, I will be forever grateful for this art. It will forever and always be the foundation of my training.
Wow that's crazy to hear! I did Zhan Zhuang before I started boxing - got up to 8 mins per 8 postures (64 mins), then went into boxing and naturally was able to assert my will in sparring and was able to natural get power from my feet into my hooks. Eventually I stopped doing Zhan Zhuang and after awhile I started lacking that awareness and control of consciousness. Keep it going my man - glad to hear that it wasn't just placebo on my part.
Have you gone pro yet? What is your name, so I can follow your fights.
@@StarPlatinumV You didn't hear about Dan Gee? .. He broke his neck getting knocked out 8 months ago. The doctor said it's because he kept standing still with his arms up instead of practicing boxing.
@@donsimons9810 lol... Well, I don't look down on anyone. We all used to laugh at bjj guys in the early 90's because they "dry humped males to win." Then, they started dominating and destroying people. Life is art. I just observe and appreciate watching people fight. I am sure the original poster could probably kick both of our asses... So...
Nice to hear a western MA proponent still respecting chi-based things. Most of those who do the MAs you are good at would refer to at as 'the woo' and scoff at it. I hope many people read your post.
one of the most helpful videos on the internet on this topic.
I've noticed that there are many ways to perform Zhan Zhuang. If you want to develop incredible strength and power in your legs, then try practicing zhan zhaung in the same manner of a Bajiquan player. Do not let the difference of martial styles concern you. The rounded hand posture helps keep your body balanced. The visualization of the whole body is that you are holding the middle dan tian, and expanding it outward to connect the lower and upper dan tians. The mind leads the Qi outward through the six gates on exhalation, and returns the Qi to your lower Dan tian on inhalation.
Keep your feet a little wider than shoulder width. Try to keep your back as straight as a stone tablet, and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel with the ground...If you have never practiced like this before, the first thing you will notice is your posture will naturally slouch forward, and it may be difficult to keep your thighs and knees positioned. The key is your breathing. With every inhalation, reposition your back and drop down slightly. For beginners, you will find every repositioning harder and harder to maintain. Just focus on keeping a calm, long, smooth, continuous breath like the waves of the ocean endlessly receding and surging. When you feel that you can no longer go deeper to reach your desired postion, just keep breathing and relax until you can continue. If you practice this three times a day, along with taijiquan and seated meditation, you will find yourself waking up at 4am to practice and your energy levels will be unparalleled. Please adopt a vegetarian diet at this time, as you can lose your energy due to digestion issues stimulated from having a carnivorous diet. Peace
Are you alluding to Horse Stance ?
Thank you for your kindness ..blessings and prosperity shine on your mountain 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have been doing this everyday for 3 years so far 10-15mins everyday no days missed. 1st year was hard work and i was sore and stiff. Now these years i look forward to the relaxation it brings in my whole body.
i practice 1 hour morning, 40 minutes before bed.
will slowly build up to 1 hour 30 minute practice in morning,
also doing 30 minute stepping Mocabu practice.
I feel this is fundamental practice to achieve 24/7 proper posture and the correct body feeling "Relaxed but not loose, tense but not stiff"
You must practice until you are always practicing.
Doing too little practice will not be helpful because you spend rest of the day living with too much stress, and you lose some progress.
I find after Zhan Zhuang my body feels much better and mind calmer and i feel peace, i smile and laugh naturally, but i slowly lose feeling over the course of day, i can't keep it and if i try to keep it its only worse because i use too much effort, so i just stay patient and let nature work at its own pace.
I tried a few times doing "slow living" through the day because it seems to make sense if Zhan Zhuang is almost stillness practice, taking things nice and slow the whole day could be good too, but then sometimes i feel like my body is tensing up too much anyway, like im pressing on gas and brake on car pedals at the same time.
Like im forcing myself to slow down instead of allowing myself to slow down naturally.
I think its too artificial to force a certain tempo on life, kind of like doing artificial breathing exercises all day, not natural.
After 1 hours Zhan Zhuang i feel naturally more relaxed and slower, no forcing, but slowly i lose the magical feelings.
This whole Kung Fu is a real test of Character, that is most important i think, to practice correctly and have patience. If you succumb to desire to progress faster than is natural you will only hurt progress.
To accept the natural pace of training is success.
Im doing ZZ for almost 3 years i think, but only this year i did 1 hour every single day, i made lots of progress but also now aware of many tensions in my back and neck that before i didn't know were there.
So i made progress and also understand how much beginner i still am.
Good luck everyone, be patient and enjoy the process :)
@Chi Funk holding the balloon position in the morning.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Recently I had tried doing the slow moving thing, definitely agree that a natural slowed down pace is better than forced. I kind of base it off my ability to maintain awareness, the moment I slip out, I'm going too fast or processing too much. I notice myself picking up the pace on Twitter or UA-cam and kind of becoming a slave to the content - rather than choosing the content I actually want to consume.
@@matthewsnow6317 Yea true, its hard to notice when you lose control of yourself when you're in the middle of something.
I still played around a bit with slowness, but honestly i find i build up tension no matter what i do, fast or slow, but as soon as i stop completely and do actual zhan zhuang, the effects start happening.
I guess my Kung Fu teacher had the simple correct answer when i asked him how do i just be happy in day to day life, and he just said "smile and enjoy life" LOL.....
Gotta remember Wang Xiangzhai's instruction to not force the results, he said "You can't make the grass grow faster by pulling on it"
According to wang, feelings such as Worry, Impatience, etc are signs of insufficient character, this is why its so important in Kung Fu to cultivate your character.
It's as if "The Way" is actually very simple but to Follow The Way is what's hard. External and internalized distractions keep blowing us off the path.
How did you build up to so much time? I started this practice a few months ago and my arms hurt when I hold them up. I find it very hard to go longer than 10 minutes. Do you have any suggestions that I can implement to improve?
@@saimaahmed4258 took me a long time to build up time, I built up in 5 minute increments and stayed at each increment for a few weeks i think.
You can try to scan your body from top to bottom every once in awhile to consciously let go of any tension if you can.
When you say arms, i presume mostly your shoulders cause that's where everyone feels pain at first from my experience, I suggest moving your shoulders around slightly to try to get the tension out of them, just feel around.
Imagine your arms are just floating on clouds, so your brain eventually gets the hint and relaxes the shoulders.
You can build up your time to 40 minutes using lower arm position, at belly button height, or even by your sides with some spacing in the armpits, this position really doesn't tax the shoulders or arms much at all. Once you do 40 minutes of that then it won't be as painful to raise arms, and maybe you'll be able to get over that hump.
Most important is don't try so hard, you're learning how to achieve natural comfort, think in terms of letting go of what's not necessary, and not so much what you can add on to do it right.
It is very beautiful to see a master's dedication to his students. I know what I say, because I was married to a teacher for 36 years. This healing posture has helped me a lot to understand some alternations in life . I really love the lightness of his hands Master Yuan Xiu Gang. I'm training, maybe one day I'll reach 5% of the lightness of your hands. Much gratitude for this video.
Yes...lightness...like feathers
That‘s right, it looks easy and is so hard to do it correctly. Thank you for demonstrating over and over again the correct posture. Very helpful . 👍❤️
for health its easy just find a good teacher but combat is hard
Thank you for sharing all this! It's amazing how much different and better the students look after the corrections and I'm happy that I spotted the same "issues" from just watching the video. It made me think once again... how important are the basics!
Everything about this video is a joy. The techniques, the architecture, the wonderful music when he was exercising the moves.
That rail on that bridge is a marvel of Asian design. 💟
I've been standing for 20 mins a day, and I'm lucky my bro is a taiji master so he corrects me from time to time. When it's your day, you manage to clear your mind and can hear your own heartbeat, the qi comes up at the 15 min mark and circulates. After that you feel so good. Other days, you feel nothing but soreness all over. I'm beginner, will take me some time to reliably replicate the feels.
Beautiful movements and practice of Qi , balanced and flowing thank you Yuan
A life that calls to me.
Bradley Wells This May become our reality after the lockdown when we’re all poor with no employment, we can exist on rice and veg whilst moving in harmony with nature, 👌
Best move you'll ever make.
Which part of it?
Feed that urge. What a great way to spend your precious time...your precious life.
It’s so marvelous, how all the power is hidden inside the movements ✨✨✨
We all do love Zhan Zhuang :-)
So good to see you- good initiative, the online school. Ill sign up soon
Gracias, gracias, gracias de Chile
Thank you very much!
From Hawaii...Aloha!
Relax! Breathe!☯️🏖🌎
Gratidão Sifu. Saúde e Longevidade.
La posture de l'arbre est fondamentale dans la pratique des arts martiaux internes chinois, encore faut il bien la comprendre; toute la notion du agir et non agir est présente. Ce n'est pas juste une posture...
Yes!! Thank you!
Very simple , yet so hard to do it correctly.
Very good! I really liked this explanation.
Grazie ancora Master Yuan Xiu Gang, and Wudang Academy for let these so Beautiful contents available..
Thanks again 🙏
I have always done this as the essential warm up, holding it for ten minutes before we start the shaolin qigong forms in our wing chun training. Qi is fundamental to wing chun, and cultivation can only come properly from qigong, with Sechuan (zhan zhuang) as the foundation.
Thank you for sharing this.
Love it ❤️ Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you for the good instruction.
THIS IS SO IMPORTEND FOR body AND MIND... 🙏🙏🙏.
This is for the Grand Master. I am impressed. Since Becoming Enlightened I have not seen a single human on this planet that has the potential to do this. I will give a clue so that maybe we can meet someday after your Enlightenment. Know as much as you can about mixing the Elixir of Immortality. You can't do it now but as a post Enlightened person you will be able to. Fyi the Naga across the bridge of your nose is only the beginning soon they will cover your entire body.
Such a gifted talent and amazing teacher. It Looks like Master Yuan plays the Guqing (ancient Chinese stringed instrument) by the looks of his right hand fingernails
Love this practice
This is known as as Wu Chi , its used the beginning and the end of of qigong sessions for establishing quietness and focus and forms the first stance in the Tai Chi form , in the Tai Chi form it is usually transient in nature and therefore for only held for a brief moment..
Excellent , thanks for this detail,ed corrections ......

Mestre Zhan Zhuang é excelente.
Tenho aprendido muito através do you tube. GRATIDÃO. 👍✨💫🇵🇹❤️🇧🇷✨🌟
gracias por la explicacion, muy detallada
The benefits are exponential when combined with celibacy. I practiced intensely and was celibate for a few months. I literally had old scars start to heal and health and power went through the roof. Mind was bright and peaceful.
Why celibate ?
@@wallybingbang4350 I don’t know the exact why. For me and most of all spiritual sciences they recommend celibacy. I personally think it’s a mixture of nervous, glandular system changes. Also, celibacy means no ejaculation in the Daoist way. Read the book “multi orgasmic man”. That practice can actually greatly enhance your results but most won’t be able to handle the energy that is produced with out succumbing. I was able to do both for a while but ultimately wasn’t disciplined enough. Trial and error. But give celibacy a try and practice diligently and I guarantee you will see the results for yourself.
Grazie mille. Davvero molto utile!
Hard discipline ....One does suffers ...but Extremely fruitful at the end ....Courage ...! 🙃
The music you used at the end is incredibly beautiful. What's the title?
Also very helpful video. The right hand palm faces the left chest or the right chest?
I like this learning...i like taichi
Buenisimo gracias

Thank you sifu for sharing this kind of healing arts, it looks simple but very complicated....i've already experience and done this kind of posture, you can feel a heat inside the circle and there are many do's and dont's such as you cannot take a bath for a sometime and not to drink cold water or beverages after doing this kind of posture or healing posture...God Bless you all in wudang and thank you for sharing this video with instructional guide
What are some other do’s and don’ts? I don’t want to start and not do it right
@@TheAntMan101
Relaxed jaw - tip of tongue touching roof of mouth behind teeth
@@wallybingbang4350 I would also have a question: should the thumbs be upright or can they "fall" because one's hands are totally relaxed? 😊Thank you in advance! 🌱
Good! 👌
It's amazing to me how different the body sensation is between doing it almost-right, and doing it right. It goes from difficult to excruciating!
Steve Smith Yes.HaHaHaahaHa on us, really !! It's so excruciating its funny. I was thinking maybe one Just One person would cave. The more i improved the posture the more...just like you say. The dumbest thing is that I felt proud of myself for holding my arms up for seven minutes; what a warrior! How serious we are. It really is possible to be very much in earnest and very free as well. Levity can be a lubricant amidst the rigor that is necessary - taking all of this in and applying ourselves with all of our hearts. How lucky we are to have this stellar opportunity.
@@averyjoycelynbarakudablock4139 Agreed! My teacher is a true Chen (Chen Huixian) and her classes are a great blend of levity and focus. It's been nearly two years and I feel like I'm beginning to develop some sense of proper form... maybe. :)

I find the best stance to develop explosive power is santi shi. You can also use it as a base fighting stance.
How is the breathing? Any breathing technique link is much appreciated.

Hi, I’m interested in joining the on line academy but I’m not sure how to start. If I subscribe, will it be clear after, how I should train, interms of what and how often?
I’ll be a complete beginner in this style. If you can advise me I’d be grateful.

O Master!
HI master, is your wudang academy in China or Taiwan?
Wow❤
gonna do this while eating candy
About the position of the feet, is it acceptable to have your feet pointed outward if pointing them forward is difficult?
Yes but correcting your posture is also part of the process
Your knees won’t be aligned
Cool😀
Is it just me or does the the guy at the back look like Bruce lee’s student from Enter the Dragon.? 😂😂🤪🙏🏻
道长厉害了👍😂
I would actually love to go there. I would love to travel in general. If I could get permission to go to places like this around the world to train and learn, it would be awesome. Maybe heal myself of whatever the fuck might be wrong with my health... -_-
He really cares
How are the masters there? Is it true that no foriegn students are allowed in Wudang temple now ? 29/04/2020
I hope everybody there is safe and healthy.
For now wudang is open again. So foreigners can visit. Problem is the rest of the world I guess.
Is there a reason he didn't cut his fingernails on his right hand?

I was always unsure about tucking in the bottom. I have been corrected before and my hips were pushed back. I think different sifu have their own variation but I want the correct way and the only way. There should be no variation ?

This is not my understanding of zz. This is completely external . The posture is Bao, to embrace. The action of grasp / embrace is the cause of the shape. Instead this teacher creates a structure. The structure is created by the action not the other way. The other way doesn’t function the same. Motion in stillness is the action, Bao
Yes we will listen to some random guy on YT rather then an actual master
Why open knees, in many Zhan zhuang instructions it’s opposite you imagine squeezing ball between knees.
Opening knees actually anatomically leads to arching the lower back, so the simultaneous instruction to tuck in the tailbone would lead to stiffness…
I think it just means not letting the knees "collapse" inwards, losing the curvature of the sole of the foot.
@@tryingtogoalltheway i see what youre saying, then this is just yet again another instance of misunderstanding of instruction, words need to be chosen carefully.
Then again i dont feel my foot curvature changing all that much whether my knees are closer in or out.
How "collapsed" are we talking about?
❤️👍
Sung.
❤️❤️❤️😘😘
Why diffucult for my body???
It's difficult for everybody... let's start step by step at your own pace, don't compare yourself with anybody. If one day you can hold 10 seconds more than the day before, it's a success! Don't give up! 💪
Isn't the Zhan Zhuang is first layer of Neidan training?
What’s the 2nd layer?
