  • I practice shaolin kung fu, and there are more stances, like snake or eagle, with the horse stance its a killer exercise, and youre absolutley rigth, it really makes one feel more energy and discipline :D

  • I used to do the whole eight segments in the mornings, I i have to tell you that it's a killer on the legs (because of the horse stance), and you really feel more eneretic after a while of doing this continously

  • For those who are interested, this is the more "wushu-like" of BaDuanJin. More focusing on the external to look good.

  • @NinjaStifler Inner strength.

  • @FightingWarrior BaDuanJin was practised by shaolin monks. The monks where not only buddist, but taoists aswell.

  • this... this... this... this... then this...

  • @DeadManCompany You are right. But i think that snake, eagle, crane, monkey, mantis, ect are systems, with their own stance. The horse stance, or Ma Bu, is an excercise in order to make your legs stronger, and you do get discipline and energy when you do it right. Greetings from Greece, wing chun system. :)

  • man ive been doing this series of excercises for a month now and my punching power has increased a lot. its really something special

  • this brings strenght to the body?

  • @something2424 you are such a failure man. i don't even understand you, what first answer?

  • @monterx1

    We are arguing about nothing, Shaolin is extinguished since 1641, the reconstructed tourist temple is about 30 years old, so this pseudo practices and "monks", all commercial bullshit from the last years, using some historical proven NAME to sell everything like this fake Baduanjin frome the video...

    One detail, baduajin never had anything to share with Shaolin, it has some taoist root...
