Standing Gong- best methods

[neijia_boxer]

I found the greatest method for standing gong training. I've never been one of those people that stands around for 40-minutes to an hour. To me that is a great waste of time that should be better spent on drilling techniques and partner training.

However I have found this to be much more powerful.

go do your normal training routine- an hour or so workout in the style you do. Stretching, Tai Chi, Qi-gong, Hsingyi or Baguazhang, boxing, muay thai.....whatever....

......then take your wife or girlfriend to the mall and follow her around to shopping and don't sit down. You will be walking slow and standing for several hours. you may even get a rush of jing while your with her in stores like Victoria Secrets or Fredrick's of Hollywood.. -LOL

your legs and body will be tougher than the guy who just stands for practice.

Of course, in our style we have a superior standing while shopping method. I can't tell you though - it's secret.

And if you can follow her handbag shopping for hours showing perfect zen patience and interest, you're basically Buddha.

The fabric store is the ultimate test. Time stands still in those places.

Double enlightenment/Nirvana if your reply correctly to the Zen Koan when she walks out of the dressing room in new clothes- "does this make me look fat?" and you answer "no dear you look lovely"- with total zen patience.

My rule of thumb in those situations has always been...."Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies."

[qiphlow]

the true gongfu lies in getting her to tell you that she'd rather go shopping by herself. to which you graciously reply that she most certainly deserves a day at the mall with her gal pals since she's such an awesome wife/gf.

I must have the only girlfriend who hates to shop. I shall go recount my blessings immediately.

The problem with this method is that while you will certainly increase your qi, yi and shen to levels approaching that of a public performing, demon-possessed Taoist martial arts trance wizard, you will be simultaneously draining another highly important personal stock (ie the one in the bank).

Hmm. Is this a "meme?"

"does this make me look fat?"

no, your ass makes you look fat.

did anyone mention good cardio training...? (run like hell)
