Zhan zhuang (站桩) day 1

2025 🎉

Anyone know what the name of the music in the beginning is? Thank you in advance

Man I feel so much better!

i want to provide subtitles for this video. Would you give me permission?

how many times a day can we do this?

We know that there are 5 elements. Earth, water, fire, metal and wood. What energies are induced/invoked/generate with zhang zhuan?

I missed instructions on what to do with my mind. I know what to do, as I already have training in meditation, but a beginner won't know what to do.

Thanks to Master Lam Kam Chuen, Prof Yu Yong Nian to show this. I always come to this after several years. 王薌齋 legacy, pure gold treasure.

You should try to find a quiet place for any meditation first and foremost. You aren't there to persuade anyone of anything.

Salam bar AUAF students ❤😂

I love this so much

Is this the Asian guy from the Hangover?

I discovered spontaneous qigong through this. After I hold the pose I relax and stand and the body starts moving spontaneously

Just stand like tree, and....shmaiyoo.

I can feel my pelvic floor tension(lower dantian) and body misalignment when i do this.

I’ve just bought his book and am practicing the first posture. In this video he’s shoulders and elbows look quite rigid and not relaxed. I’ve been actively trying to relax my neck and shoulders and let the arms drop naturally. Not sure if I’ve been doing it right now after watching this video, can anyone advise me??

Absolutely beautiful

I first saw this when I was very stressed about a hospital procedure. I would not be able to have a sedative. So, in the five weeks wait time, I practiced by casting these lessons onto my TV. At first I was sceptical but the first lesson showed that I really needed to exercise. It also 'slowed down the world', - not like a sedative but a restoration of balance.
The exercises are not too difficult to learn but your level improves. It is not a competition, this is for you. Once learned, it stays, exercise location feasible or not because your mind and body are better aligned. I thoroughly recommend it. Thank you.

Amazing! I've tried it and it has so many benefits. Highly recommended

Master Lam is a skilful and very experienced teacher.

I’ve been doing Zhan zhuang for over 4 years and I’ve made some rookie mistakes I think so I’ll share my findings that may be helpful to others

1) allow yourself to move, trying hard to be as still as possible is a mistake.

2) It’s not about willpower, it’s about learning how to be more and more comfortable, FORCING yourself to do anything is also a mistake.

It is better to do 5 comfortable minutes of Zhan zhuang 10 times a day versus 1 miserable 40 minute session.

The gentler you go the faster you will progress.

There’s no need for a timer, as you improve your skills the time will automatically increase, the standing will feel so pleasurable for you that you will want to stand longer, and when you feel a sense that you maybe wanna stop then stop.

This is learning to take care of yourself, that a hidden teaching of Zhan zhuang, it’s not obvious that this is important at first but it affects your personality and your life in the long term.

thanks for these great videos. I just received you books:the way of energy, and will do it exactly as written.....just one thing...can i do this once in the am..and then again before bed. Before the books came. i did up to 21 minutes a few time....im 73 years old, and do many different exercises, and did not find it to difficult ...I want to do them correctly as intended to get the benefits as said.....thanks ahead of time...blessings

Hello, I'm curious about this. Is the standing exercise done with eyes closed or eyes open?

Retsu Kaioh from grappler baki is my favorite fictional example of Zhan Zhuang being used. Multiple hours in a version of horse-riding stance staring at a wall!!

Outstanding!

If I do this for 15 minutes, I get insomnia at night, does anyone know how to correct it...
I suffer from fatigue, so the energy is welcome, but the insomnia ruins everything...

When he said get up, I just got up I didn’t even tell myself to get up

came here because of Baki seeing Retsu do the Zhan Zhuang

Hi, thanks so much for your instruction. I have a question about the breathing: is it breathe in to expand the abdomen then breathing out pulling abdomen in slightly & squeezing the perineum? Or is it reverse breathing? Thank you

My arms and shoulders hurt after 5 minutes - is this normal when starting?

the best

i did this for the first time in my life when sensei told us to stand up.its like the upper half energy of the torso is flowing down and the lower half of torso is flowing up and you literally feel like a mountain.i went to the gym 4 years and its like having your whole body as 1 muscle and exercising it

I found that blood flows to the knees and legs when I practice Zhan Zhuang. This practice calms down the mind. Thanks for sharing!

What is the difference between these exercises and the exercises in the book "The Way of Energy"?

Wonderful video.

FInally, an exercise I can do!

I how this on VHS years ago and use to love doing the exercises. I remember feeling really exhausted after the whole session. I'm so glad you uploaded it🙏

I like it
