Zhan Zhuang is an important part of Taichi practice. As the saying goes, "the root is in the feet," it is a form of qigong that is practiced in a standing position. It is said to improve the health and well-being of the mind and body.
The practice of Zhan Zhuang can be traced back to ancient Taoist philosophy. It is also called “Standing like a Tree” or “Standing Like a Mountain.” The practice involves standing in a specific posture and holding the body in a certain structure for an extended period of time. Since the limbs are not physically active, there will be no difficulty in breathing throughout the process. Zhan Zhuang is also a kind of "mind-body exercise," which can make the cerebral cortex in a highly excited state by using some specific instructions. It can exercise the deep muscles and improve the response time, as well as enhance strength.
The health benefits of Zhan Zhuang are numerous: it can help improve blood circulation, reduce stress levels, relieve pain in the joints and muscles, improve posture, and more.
Zhan Zhuang is also a weight-bearing exercise that strengthens bone density and stimulate the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet to promote physical health and enhance immunity.
As a martial arts training, Zhan Zhuang can help integrate force, build up inner power, and ground. Generally, the Kung Fu stance requires a lower stance and the practice time varies from a few minutes to several tens of minutes.
As a self-healing exercise, the standing posture is usually simple and easier, but it requires standing for a longer time, such as 30 to 60 minutes, until sweating.
