Basic training method of yiquan is called zhan zhuang - standing post. But there are also sitting postures and lying on back postures etc.
The posturse are usually divided into 2 groups:
- more basic, more concentrating on relaxation and preparing for more demanding practice - usually called 'health postures'
- more demanding, concentrating on developing unified force, with more intense mind activity and body work - usually called 'combat postures'
People usually know about sitting variants of 'health postures', but not many heard about sitting variants of 'combat postures' - in situation when you can't keep contact with ground with your foot/feet, you still keep whole body connection.
