Basics of Stance Training


Class was very challenging today. Shifu took us through a series of stance training. He believes that if our Kung Fu fundamentals and basics are better, our overall performance of Chen will be much improved.

We worked on a progression of 6 stances.
Horse Stance - Ma Bu
Bow Stance - Gong Bu
Cat Stance - Shie Bu (empty)
Single Leg Stance - Du Li
Low Stance - Pu Bu
Snake/coiling Stance - Share Bu

Shifu strongly encourages us to practice these stances daily, gradually progressive in duration up to 10 minutes each stance.
