Zhan Zhuang

Zhan zhuang or standing practice is a paradoxical training that is simple in concept yet extremely difficult to perform, one dimensional from a visible perspective yet multidimensional in fact.

Qigong, Taiji, Taijiquan and Life, all require one to be rooted and centered in order to participate from a balanced and objective perspective and zhan zhuang practice is possibly the best training methodology ever devised to build that foundational quality.

Standing practice is at first a physical challenge, then it becomes a mental challenge and finally it shows it true purpose.

For training one to become more self aware, there is no better tool.
