Hi, I am Sifu Romain teaching you the horse stance, in Chinese we call this Ma-Bu. Ma meaning horse, Bu meaning stance. To begin with we'll start with the hands on the waist. An easy way to find the distance for the stance, which is approximately 3-1/2 feet, is to start from your standing horse position, feet shoulder width apart. From here you're gonna pivot on the balls of the feet, toes in. Now you're gonna pivot slightly on the heels, toes out. And one more time on the ball of the foot, toes in, and squat down into your stance. If you're still unsure if your stance is proper the width between your legs should match from one elbow to the next. Now the horse stance is one of the most important stances in Kung Fu; it provides you with a lot of stability. It's a great way to isolate the legs while training the hands. For example, if he holds his hand out, we could do basic punching, punch, punch. We could do blocking techniques, overhead block, inward block, outward block, downward block, etc. So back to your position here okay; this is also a very strong stance if I push from the side you can see how stable that is. It's a very good stance to use from a defensive standpoint as far as fighting because it blades the body, which means it limits the amount of target area that's open. I'm Sifu Romain, and that's how you do a horse stance.
I am sure correct form is excellent, but before watched this video, I tried this about four times over a few hours and managed to get up to three minutes by just squatting. But the results were astonishing: Exercises that I had to quit because of the pain, I was able to continue until I ran out of steam! So don’t let proper form stop you, as long as you feel like you’re gonna die, you’re doing it right 😁
That's similar to how GrandMaster Ark Wong taught it. When you look down at your feet you should not see them because of your knees. It is also important that your back be straight. You should not make a move until you are able to hold the horse for at least 1/2 hour. After that comes walking in the horse.
does my heels has to be in touch with the ground, or does it have to be elevated alil bit? (standing position)
they do need to touch the floor@@bamf6603
There are several different horse stances. Different arts use different versions of it.
I've found that as you get older, it can help to have your toes pointing outwards at 30-45 degrees, as this alleviates twisting and knee pain. For best effect, thighs parallel with the floor is also good and will work the quads hard.
First complete explanation I've got about horse stance. I'm going to use this great tips! 💪🏻⚡🐴
I've been living my whole taking care of horses but I haven't seen any horse stand like that.
Have you ever rode a horse jit
😂😂😂
I've always been interested in equestrian dance moves. Thanks for sharing.
No it ain't Sifu Romaine... Damn 90% of the "kung fu" vids on youtube give shaolin a bad rep smh
NIce vid! Brief but concised.
Sifu Chappelle in da house
Highest horse stance ever lol
It’s not the ‘lowness’ that produces the power
Guy shoulda put a candle under him 😂
I don’t know anyone who fights in a full squat position 🤣🤦♂️
@@toomuch9762 I don’t think the exercise is actually for fighting, but it’s probably the most powerful exercise to do. This stance is incredibly good for the legs, and doing it for a few minutes straight is near impossible as a beginner
@@toomuch9762 Israel Adesanya checked Robert Whittaker side stomp to the knee using Kung-Fu horse stance
And you can train really hard your legs with this stance
now a days there are tons of videos which say that you should go lower like you go in actual squat and also say that your knees should make 90 degree angle and your thighs should be parallel to the ground.
so it is really confusing which is the correct methods
should we go lower or should we stay higher like shown in this video.
I’d say its the more you squat like 90degree angle is correct but is difficult for most beginners
Is this for beginners?
Horse stance is supposed to be same as riding a horse. Ride a horse, then remember how wide it is, then copy it on an imaginary one. You'll notice your feet are really supposed to be slightly planted on the outside of of your shoulder width. That wide stuff is after the cultural revolution where they erased the combat portion of it.
where can i find informations like this sir?
NO , there are so many kinds of MA BU
I've seen at least 10 kinds of them
it depends
lower can help build more muscles
Big respect ✊ for you brother
what about the toes going over the knees ?
thanks
do you get lower overtime
Doing the horse stance means you're a wall blocking a path. People saying a kick to the nuts is the most opening spot and the most vulnerable way to take out a horse stanced person. It is true BUT there's actually a way to train getting kicked to the nuts and not feel any pain. Some martial artists use that intensive training for almost 5 years of getting kicked in the nuts. Once they're comfortable of getting kicked in the nuts, meaning NO PAIN of nut kicking, you completed your ultimate defensive wall. So horse stance + no pain from kick to the nuts = ultimate defensive wall
450Cyrax oah a horse atanw is NO stance
SubZero450 Or you can wear some light armour there
Old comment but just because you cannot feel pain does not mean you aren't taking damage
😂
what form of Kung Fu are you teaching
Can you tell me?
Not all Kung Fu use this position
12 years ago 😅
Very good video
There are several types of horse stance; some wider or shorter, some higher or lower. His horse stance is well done, it doesn't have to be in ninety grade like trashy modern wushu and fake shaolin does(even when do it in that way is unhealthy).
seems like it would also make it very hard to move while maintaining this stance, in a fight wouldn't it?
It is not for fighting anyways
It’s used for just basic practice forward stance is more for fights
After you have been standing for at least 1/2 hour you learn to walk in the horse. With that you will learn how to maintain the stance.
@@Eyes-of-Horus do you have a link to someone fighting/sparring while maintaining this stance? I've never seen one. I remember hearing even Bruce Lee thought it wasn't a good stance for fighting.
It's used copiously in boxing and wrestling. Like everything it is not a fixed posture but rather something you move into and out of.
Just got to hope the opponent has never heard of wrestling.
That would be the easiest single-leg takedown on the planet.
Just wondering do you recommend or use reverse breathing for the horse stance ? Thanks
i recommend not breathing at all if possible
exactly the monks do a horse stance for 2 hours parralel to the ground balancing bowls of water on there legs, arms shoulders, and head.
马步 - Mǎ bù - ma3 bu4
I did 1:28 minutes of horse stance it’s probably low bc i trained legs yesterday
actually, to even become a monk, they were required to hold this stance for 24 hours- it was to weed out the weak ones, and determine who really wanted to become a monk
How long should you do this for and how often?
personally i do it for a minute but i've heard people do it for hours
Stand still for at least 1/2 hour daily. You can work up to it. Will take about a month.
what is the difference between pointing feet forward or putting them more to the side?
Depends on the style. GrandMaster Ark Wong had the feet point straight ahead. Tended to make the horse a bit more stable.
The stance trains your adduktors and glutes mainly, pointing the feet forwards will have 2 muscles named popliteus and sartorius join in
Have a feeling the real ones do it for hours and a much deeper squat.
The widest horses are in Northern styles.
yeah there are variations but they are teaching basic horse stance in shaolin which means it should be lower
Northern horses are much lower. What is being shown is the Southern horse.

Most important: Never smile.
He is so nice
So cool
Why do my knees hurt doing horse stance???
shaolin monks have painless balls...
Yeah he's not nearly low enough 😂
depends on your age, kung fu is for a life time.
Long life
Looking this up for massage therapy lol
Horse stand indeed is *stable*
Quit saddling us with bad puns, and rein it in, will ya?
I just wanted to gain muscle
I see
*writes down in diary* Don't you dare run off Lan Di
guys, if really want to know Kung Fu, Martial Arts, MMA
Go to google Bruce Lee's interview
He explained it very well
Using no way as the way, using No limitation as the limitation----Jeet Kune Do's concept
Bruce Lee never really learned Kung Fu. He picked up most from Ip Man's, Wing Chun when he was in Hong Kong in his mid-teens. But Ip Man threw him out of his school and refused to teach him. He always thought he knew more than the masters. Hawkins Chang, one of Bruce Lee's friends from Hong Kong said that after Ip Man threw Lee out the last time after their lessons they would teach Lee what they were taught in class. When they would go out Lee would always start fights and we'd have to finish them because he didn't want his face to get cut up. GrandMaster Ark Wong, in L.A. would have taught him but he didn't want to take the time to learn. GrandMaster Wong said, "When I knew Bruce Lee he was nothing but a skinny, smart-mouth kid. He went to Hong Kong and came back a year or so later with all these muscles. You can't grow muscles like that in a year."
Why the absolutely disturbing music?
Guys this is not the horse stance
Looks like the giraffe stance….little high
i agree, they must of been pretty hardcore to begin with
Yeah locking at his physical appearance, I get the impression he can't really go down more. Lol
It's a Southern Shao Lin horse.
Exactly! That is why I call this the fake horse stance! In real horse stance (practiced by all masters) you need to go far lower so your thighs are parallel to the floor and your torso must be vertical, not bent forward
Easy crouch hit
Only in the front horse. Not so with the side horses.
maybe no balls i've never seen a women in the temple :D
that ain't horse stance!!
weakness of horse stance balls attack wahahah
Only in the front horse. With the side horse the knee would cover.
do they really, cause ive learned its the only spot you cant train to resist pain hahhaha
thats a really high horse stance...
It's a Southern horse.
a real horse stance should be lower. This is like a karate style horsestance
It is a Southern Shao Lin horse stance. Southern horses are higher than Northern horses. This is because of where the area where they developed.
No
right
Hung Gar student here. That's a garbage horse stance.
What the hell is with the fucking application of these stance???
none...its a meditative excercise and center strengthening stance...
Yam Knight Of course not! Techniques to step behind the front leg of the opponent to bind and limit him... with the tigerstance you can pull this leg away... etc
Yam Knight Yeah... on youtube there is so many desinformation that someday someone gets hurt in reallife....
“Limits the body area” wtf how does that work?
Too high
No that is not how you do a horse stance.
Todo mal hecho ese ma bu . Tiene que bajar más esa posición.
lol
He has no idea what he’s talking about, he’s standing too high
It's a Southern horse.
What discipline do you practice, and how many years for?
This is a terrible horse stance
It's a Southern horse.
Omg this is why MMA makes fun of Kung Fu sifus !! Dime a dozen ? Sifu Romain you should be able to balance a broom handle on your thighs!! Sifu who !
