Zhan zhuang (站桩) day 1

[TheElusiveMan1]

Does anyone know if there is an online Training and Certification Program in Zhan zhuang by itself? I do not care who the teacher/instructor is but only if there is an online certifcation program. I am learned in at least two different Chi Kung practices, this Standing Poll Meditation and Chi Kung will not be that hard for me to Master.

[svcproducer]

Should this be practiced in 10 min increments then longer if desired?

[bigfatdick5000]

This is very powerful stuff. A great master of Yi quan martial art of paraplegic when he was a teenager was cured just by practicing this 'Zhan zhuang'.

This exercise is a required foundation training exercise to help nourish and build up internal core power critical in another ancient martial art- Xingyiquan.

No church No Pope No middlemuddleman. just us and the stillness inside us..True Religion/religare/Reunion/Unio­n/Yogaaaaaaa......Bliss...Love­...and Lightness. Thanks Maharishi laotzi Gautama Issa and Mohamed And all the true holy traditions and messengers... Surrender (Islam) the noise for the stillness within

[VladtheEmailer]

Wow! This is great! I recently started practicing again and have been reading The Way of Energy for the 5th time, but I love the videos!! Thanks so much for posting!

[MrAddddyyy]

Extremely charismatic guy, isn't he? Talks sense as well.

[adibrothers]

i want learn with u HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Monkeyland03]

In the book 'The Way Of Energy' it goes up to the ninth position. Is there any material that is higher then that or a book that is more advanced then the way of energy?

[fourplusseven]

@Monkeyland03 If you've mastered it you've still got Lam's "Way of Power" or you can try Chia Iron Shirt for example.

[goodforthemoney]

All right Chinese rap.

[SpeakZen]

Great video series! I have been practicing for several months and it really works.

[Mottahead]

The Way of the Energy changed my life.

One of my favorite books.

[MrHealthDude]

Wonderful setting and truly Great teacher. Can feel the energy he so naturally puts into his movements. Great video !!

[GatherChi]

I have been doing ZZ for 2 months... I does work and it is now part of my morning along with Tai Chi and Zen meditation.

[ballen900]

Thank you for uploading this video. great stuff

[liverqiconstraint]

When I was standing for 20 min a day, I didn't catch a cold for about two years. When I stopped I started catching colds again.

[TheTweak0r]

Xytos lol your the joke , hence you'll never harness your internal power and will live the rest of your life with a quarter of your human potential open your eyes and stop being blind systema in Russian chi or qi in Chinese ki in Japanese and many more . Educate yourself , even better find your pineal gland and enlighten yourself .....

Thanks for posting the video it's very nice

Of you to share this knoledge that the western goverments do not want us to have :-)

[Huineng10]

This is powerful stuff. I would say a word of caution though. Don't try this exercise if you have any problems with the alignment of your hips.

[Xytos]

lol this is a joke, get someone that can speak english

[HushhhPaw]

@Xytos lets hear you speak his language......

[Helllocutiepie]

@Xytos These exercises are universal.

[helltopay1]

managed to fracture my skull thats how powerful this stuff is.

Shouldnt have practiced in the middle of the road.

[12345jovo]

thanx for sharing this knowledg it helped mi a lot

[BirthofAPrince]

I have had the way of energy book for a year now and its truly a pleasure to see Master Lam in person thanks uploader i shall be watching daily from now on

[silversnow2008]

Is it OK to practice indoors? I live in Calgary and long winters don't allow me to practice outdoors. But I am afraid that the heavy air indoors may be not beneficial.

[bullmeecham]

@silversnow2008 From what I've been told you can do ZZ anywhere. It's better to do it and grow in ZZ than not doing it.

[rAFiCoRe]

@silversnow2008 put on a warm jacket and a beanie and stand out in the woods... i live in Germany and it is freezing cold here, too. Does not need to be an hour, 10 minutes is enough for starters.

[helltopay1]

@silversnow2008 Cours it is my friend.Why dont you buy some negative ionisors for your home ? thats what ive done.

[silversnow2008]

For a martial artist, is it better to do it before or after strenuous excercice?

[lightbykirya]

I love Zhan Zhuang, particularly Master Lam. I've been practicing on and off for about 3 months now, and I feel it's particularly good for overall health. "The Way of Energy" is a great book!

[BeforeMagellan]

hey master...how long should I do each excercise for?

[pedrotheiligal]

I have been practicing tai chi for one year. then I did read your book The Way of Energy 3 months ago. so I did follow the training (zhan zhuang) and now chi really make sence to.my legs are realy strong my energy is much bettler.

thank you Master Lam

[mateszabi24]

i love the video, love the music, the man :) , and the exercise. Thanks a lot for posting them.

[k9log]

Thank you Master Lam, perfect vido for start stand like tree.

[worras2007]

I am 185 cm tall, with 140 kg :) Need to lose some 40 kg. I can be a good proof if it works LOL :) How long shall I stand like this every day and how long I need to see the result?

[Janotheknight]

@worras2007 In Lam Kam Chune's book: The Way of Energy, it says that most people can BEGIN see the results of Chi Kung exercise within 100 days of dedicated practice. To lose a lot of weight I imagine it would take a couple months. But in the first 100 days you will start to feel the changes taking place. Does this answer your question?

[BirthofAPrince]

@worras2007 start by doing 5 minutes a day and work up to 30 mins having the patience to take this art form slowly is part of the training so do not skip ahead until you have mastered the fundamentals and feel comfortable relaxing into the posture and breathing from the stomach

i would recommend buying the book and reading it several times if you want to take this form of internal energy cultivation seriously,also a balanced diet and the correct amount of water a day goes without saying

[helltopay1]

I stood waiting for the bus the other day ,time it arrived I was a flippin kung fu master ,amazing

[agutinoff]

Thanks for vid!

[lionhearted38]

I appreciate these posts, but they seem to differ in order from the way they're listed in your books. I don't understand why the closing posture, where the qi is "sealed" into the body, isn't listed here? Sealing the qi after doing these exercises keeps me awake for a long time (till 3 a.m.), which I don't understand...even if I seal the qi for 30 seconds. Any idea why? I did follow the instructions in your book precisely. Thanks.

[mysoukouss]

Hello Master Lam Kam Chuen,

Thank you so much for sharing this workout. It is easy to understand because you explain it so well. I wish i can find the DVD's in the United States

[tsuihkon]

Best way to learn is to find a teacher. Chi kung / qiqonq is a good place to start if you are interested in learning more. There are few good chi kung videos and I recommend teachings of Mantak Chia, both videos and books. Especially inner smile meditation is very helpful, since you can combine zhan zhuang with it. The most important thing in this kind of exercise is to be as relaxed as possible, never let you shoulders get tense, for instance.

[fintanbrady2]

Thank you so much lam kam chuen for this beautifully produced introduction to a world inside of me open to all. i have finished the 10days and am continuing the practice. The practice allows me to wake up all those dormant cells in my body. They dont like it but are getting used to it...i love it!!! i am looking into the possibility of teaching this myself...any advice?.....love fintan

[ChenStyleJohn]

Wonderful video! Standing posture is my favorite exercise, and has changed my whole life & health picture. Thanks so much for sharing the instruction, I'll pass them on.

:o)

[MrChemanfu]

lam kam chuen is a pupil of Yu yong Nan, it's good for health

[LANDERTXO3]

Es magnifico el zhang zhuang. Me encantan todas estas cosas, aunque no se ingles y me cuesta entender los videos.

Agradeceria muchisimo que alguien pudiera traducirlos al español. Muchisimas Gracias!

[LJHaywood]

Try watching this with captions switched on - it's hilariously bad at working out what's being said.

[joedanceflaw]

It would be great if Master Chuen released this on DVD - he deserves the income from these awesome videos!

Thanks for posting these too. Great to keep them alive!

[slippingontheslide]

i bought the video of thisabout 5 years ago and it's still an excellent method of excercise and relaxation.

thanks for posting 5 stars.

[Foyepolomi]

awsome serie! thankx for putting it up

[iching64]

Thank you for sharing this. This is very profound stuff. You can learn more from his book "The Way of Energy"

[StandStillBeFit]

I managed to get the video second-hand, but it'd be nice if it were released on DVD at some point. It's a timeless series, and who wouldn't want to get fit without having to move?!
