Length of time standing

Standing still is a kind of martial arts practice, and it is the basic skill that must be mastered when practicing martial arts. Moreover, different masters require different times when teaching standing still. So, how much time should be spent standing still to achieve the desired effect? ​​Different people have different opinions. In response to this phenomenon, the following will analyze and introduce the time for standing still in detail.

Each master has his own teaching method, and each master has different requirements for the time of standing.

Some require standing for 7-8 hours a day, which is indeed a professional training time and it is difficult for ordinary people to do it;

As an ordinary practitioner, you can follow your own schedule, without affecting your life and work, strengthen your body and improve your physiology, which is also a lot of fun! There is no need to worry too much about not reaching 7-8 hours.

When Mr. Guo Chun teaches boxing, he usually requires his disciples to stand in a stance for 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. It should not be less than 40 minutes, otherwise the effect will not be obvious; but if it exceeds 1.5 hours, it will often be a waste of time and will not meet the quality requirements of standing still. This is more in line with what Mr. Wang Xiangzhai said: "It is best to hold the stance for one to one and a half hours every day." (See "On the Posture and the Four Forms")

The length of time for standing in a posture is a matter of opinion. In fact, what suits you is the best. You should make reasonable plans based on your physical condition and work and life schedule to better achieve your goal.

From the above time analysis, we will find that the time for standing still is not fixed or absolute. It depends on the requirements of the master. Because each master has different time requirements for standing still, we cannot treat it in general. However, we must pay attention to the correct method of standing still and posture to avoid injury.
