Thank you! Happy you found it useful. My focus right now is on Chinese martial arts specifically internal but I could do yoga in the future. I saw a bigger gap in chinese martial arts methods for this type of content.

@@thekungfuintellect might be kept as a secret in those days... Only few close circle may know this information. But you are doing a great job and good research... Both Chinese and indian worked closely well with the body, mind and sprit... Keep doing....

@@seshafarmspalmarosa1267 thanks for the support!

Thanks glad you find it interesting! You are correct training the body is also training the fascia. My overall point was that fascia is intertwined and therefore cannot be trained in an isolated fashion. I've seen some folks talk about it as if it is something you can "activate" like some superpower.

@@tanyawieczorek6603 that's a good question. Well, you can't. The unilateral breathing mentioned in the study involves expanding the chest preferentially on one side of the body when breathing. What the study demonstrates is this method does preferentially ventilate the lung on that side(chest expanding side). However, that does not mean that no air is getting to the other lung.

I assume you are referring to this study about the soleus and weight management? "A potent physiological method to magnify and sustain soleus oxidative metabolism improves glucose and lipid regulation" www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(22)01141-5?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2589004222011415%3Fshowall%3Dtrue I've wondered if this effect is simply the same as any activity associated with NEAT (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis). The soleus along with the other muscles in the lower leg is compartmentalized by the deep fascia (crural) and from my understanding is continuous with the plantar fascia. Any activity of the lower leg and foot would involve the fascia.

Thanks for the support. Glad you liked it. More analyses are in the plan! I'm intending to get back into the groove over fall and winter this year.

It's not a problem. Changes in intra abdominal pressure is part of normal breathing.

@@thekungfuintellect Well it's because i have a problem with my pelvic floor, where i can't get breath out to the side or into the pelvic floor. And when i breath it's like my organs are pushed down and put more pressure on the pelvic.

I'd advise talking to a doctor about your symptoms.

thanks for the feedback!

Glad I was able to help!

thank you! I'm glad you found it useful!

Eventually...😁

@@thekungfuintellect thanks🌟

Thanks for the support! I'm still working on it just been busy with IRL stuff haha

Glad you find it helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽

That's great to hear thank you. I've studied the kinesiology /anatomy part on my own so let me know if you think I got anything wrong.

Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Wait, sorry, wrong pose. Its the one where my hands follow the meridians.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Glad you enjoyed! I've actually already analyzed all but the last two. Check them.out here: ruclips.net/p/PLUOvOa5CEy4N6KKWL7qPBbpI86byH_jQz&si=oIMeuxMDiELoeIft

Thank you🙏🏽 glad you found it useful!

It's best to follow your instructors direction. This video is not intended to teach the posture itself. It's just an analysis of the posture and variations which I've observed from a physiological standpoint.

In my Xingyi practice we didn't train this posture. I'm mostly aware of it through other practitioners.

@@thekungfuintellect Ah, ok, that explains it. The posture as it is shown here is not correct, and can even be harmful if performed as it is described here. Some of the explanation given is contradictory to the basic idea of zhan zhuang. Please be careful. I wish you a nice day and fun with training!

@@gardenofchi2024 feel free to send me the way you practice and I'll include it in an updated analysis.

@@thekungfuintellect Thank you for your kind and open reaction. If you like you can find my website for some information. There is too much to know for sharing in just a few sentences. The posture you refer to, follows some basics 'rules' but has adaptations depending on the goal (martial, spiritual, health) and the individual situation. One basic of zhan zhuang for the first years is, not to tense or force breathing, to relax and release the upper body, to seek the golden middle for physical alignment. To bring the structure in such alignment, that gravity works easy on us. Every posture is designed for a certain impact. Squeezing or compressing organs is not what one would look for, it can damage health. I recommend the books of master Lam Kam Chuen.

Thanks much appreciated 🙏🏽

Thanks! I try to address the few variations I know. I imagine they all emphasize similar aspects.

Thanks for the info. I haven't studied the history in depth much. Just know that many Taiji folks practice this posture. I've practice Xingyi but my teacher(s) didn't emphasize this posture.

Just because Qigong is a new idea doesn't mean a lot of the practices contained in it aren't older. But the history is convoluted and vague, yes.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you. Glad you found it useful

glad you found it useful!

That's great! I'm mostly doing Dai (precursor to Che) movements in that vid, but I practice a mix of both!

Thank you!

really? i have only been learning internal tai chi for two years and not once have i been told to keep my elbows raised like this? jst the opposite. this seems to go against basic internal practice

​​@@amandasteven1400hat is because in today taichiquan a lot of teachers dont understand correct zz training. I recommend basic neijia practice especially doing yiquan and bagua/xingyi basics until one reach the stage of moving with whole body connection and dont loose the connection. This stage is also called "walking in mud or fog" or "pilestanding while walking". Then u can advance to taichiQUAN form practice. So if u have no neijin like strong sensation of peng during moving then maybe search other teacher or practice yiquan/neigong. I met many people who train taichi many years but have no neijin 😮😮

Thank you! Glad you found it valuable

Happy you are finding it helpful!

Your teacher should be able to help you with that. Otherwise, recording your self or practicing in front of a mirror can be quite useful for examining your posture

Perhaps one leg is shorter than the other? One of my legs is 9mm shorter than the other so I wear shoes with a lift.

@@thekungfuintellect OK thanks I'll give that a go

​@@tanyawieczorek6603so how do you practice the Qigong?

I was just joking around here, but there is a bunch of science showing that cold exposure can have positive effects in a number of different physiological areas.

@@thekungfuintellect no doubt- WIM HOFF 1 hour ice bath me 3 mins tap cold at 3 0' clock shower - when i watched WIM HOFF he opined -clothes, being indoors always, climate control environment -too far deviation from our evolutionary nature while our genetic make-up physiology remains the same as 2 million years ago... or at least 50,000 when homo sapiens cross-bred with neanderthal ( h.s. male/neanderthal woman )makes people chronic sick- I agree

@@roberthoffman9232 my personal opinion is one should expose themselves to a range of environmental conditions. Hot and cold. Only staying indoors is detrimental to overall health in many ways.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@thekungfuintellect the physiological /anatomical "jargon" is becoming more familiar as I work my way through your catalog...at first it was like martian...the "arrows" are becoming familiar as well...again you distilled a methodology new to me and kudos ...I am beginner in microcosmic orbit if you have an interest in teaching...ty...my standing is "paying dividends " take care

@@roberthoffman9232 hopefully the jargon wasn't too much. I tried to make it as accessible as possible. I've done persistent self study to get to my current level of understanding.

@@thekungfuintellect on the contrary - me using " "jargon" is a reflection of my anatomical/phyiological ignorance- TERMS OF ART ANTOMICAL LEXICON IS A MORE ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF your narration and text- ON THE CONTRARY YOUR METHOD IS UNIQUE-EXCELLENT - SINGULAR -PIONEERING- and YOUR GRANULAR -LIBERAL-PRECISE -ANATOMICAL-PHYSIOLOFICAL-FLOW CHARTS-GRAPHICS-CADAVERS make you unique in my 35 year kung fu journey and YOU HAVE REALLY ACHIEVED EXCELLENCE- I have more work to do - since i am not in medical school LOL the info is best absorbed by me in small doses- but I see when I set it aside and go back the next day the learning happens incrementally and painlessly- I am already enjoying recognizing my anatomical " friends "- taking great pride in it - and achieving deep intellectual medical satisfaction forming a synergy with my NEI GUNG MIND INTENTION YI- that is what great XING YI ZHAN ZUANG YI QUAN is all about philosophy, metaphysics, physics , scientific quantification synergies to achieve excellence and understanding of the art- After all DIM MAK practitioners and too many martial artists to name have TCM roots...I will keep reading and stop posting LOL

Issues of translation and charlatans are real issues. It is part of my motivation for studying the methods in a physiological manner

@@thekungfuintellect again KFI really good stuff you really "hung the meat on the bones" literally ...of my YI- mind iNTENTION in my practice...I will keep working through your catalog...keep up the excellent work thank you...I was talking to my LARGE MUSCLED NEPHEW today because his mucosa are inflamed etc...I kept thinking on your charts and how some times large muscles can be inversely proportional to lean muscles hung on strong bones and connective tissues...i was thinking of your graphics while e-mailing my young large muscled nephew whose mucosa are inflamed from allergic reactions

Yes, I think these exercises train the body in a unique way compared to modern exercise methods
