What are the standards for squatting?

Many people do not pay attention to the correct posture when doing the horse stance. If the posture is not correct, it may be counterproductive. Not only will you be tired, but if the posture is not correct, it may hurt your body. Therefore, you must master the correct posture when doing the horse stance. If you can't master it or can't do it, you have to learn it and do it according to the method we introduced. So what are the standards for the horse stance? Let's take a look.

Step 1: Turn your feet 15 degrees out to shoulder width, then squat slightly. Why do we need to externally rotate the femur? Because the human femur is externally rotated 15 degrees. This position is the movement that is least contrary to human physiology. Looking from the front, your neck should be against the collar of your clothes (hanging head), and you should wear a shirt so that the clothes lightly stick to your back (body is straight), and the muscles of your shoulder blades should be slightly pulled apart in all directions (pulling back). This way, the thorax will naturally expand and form a very small inner arc (chest contained). Imagine that you are holding a hot steamed bun under your armpits, and hanging a 10-gram balance weight or an empty ink bottle from your elbows (dropping elbows). Do not shrug your shoulders (sinking shoulders). Stand like this and breathe slowly through your nose (gentle fire. Note, one brother: you asked about gentle fire. Gentle fire is used here but not in the routine. The routine talks about the four methods of lifting, supporting, gathering and sinking). In this way, you will feel a sense of fullness in your ribs and abdomen (the qi sinks into the dantian, this happens naturally, don't worry about the qi). Put your hands together in front of your chest, palms facing inward, with your fingers pointing toward each other. Practice this for a while. This is the position that each part of the body should be maintained in when training in martial arts.

Step 2: Start turning your toes forward. This is to obtain a twisting force. However, even though the toes are pointing forward, the knees still need to be aligned forward, thus creating a slight twist and thus generating force. This is to first add a little effort on this basis. This force is the force in the legs. Once you feel this force, you will be able to master the footwork and turning. ——What is this?
