I found your channel a few weeks ago when I was looking for guidance/tips on breathwork. I've found that and so much more. This video is both inspirational and insightful, and I just wanted to express my gratitude for all you do here. Thank you.
Well done! I hit 6mins a few months back, but haven’t trained since. I would like to try to retrain back to that and also use the stick. I find that nervous system regulation is so key for success with the HS.
I trained hap kune and hung gar from age 16 to 25. My sifu was trained in China and it was old school brutal stuff. For the first year as a snot nosed teenager I was made to do five minutes horse stance, then the entire stance set 1 min per stance. Then the punches set with concrete weights. Then bone conditioning and qi going. Finishing with more horse stance. Turned me from a boy to a man 😂.
No just no. Is it hard well it is designed to be, you are holding a half rep but the hardest ever I don't think so. I mean come on... You could make it harder by simply bringing in the feet and taking the weight off the hips thus more weight on the legs and a shorter rep duration. Which by the definition implied would be harder.
I recently discovered the horse stance I enjoy the challenge very much I think it will take at least 30 to start to see some real benefits Thanks for your channel
for aging folk, the literature is consistent about keeping muscular strength, in all planes. this looks like a fine addition to mix in with kettle bell work and the use of kettle bells for adding weight- eventually . . .
I only did a 100 seconds horse stance last night. During the last 10 seconds I was literally crying out in pain. When I was done I noticed that my ears were flushed. Well, the way I see it is that I have something I can work on for a few months.
That's impressive, 8:00 minutes and perfect low horse stance, when i was in my 20s i was practicing Pa Yuan Tsin from a book called The Power Of Chi by Geoff Pike and the most i did was 5 Minutes, it's weird how the pain comes in waves and each wave is more intense. If you got every Olympic athlete in the world to try to do 8 mins %99 wouldn't be able to accomplish it, that;s how hard it is mentally and physically. Have you ever recorded you heart rate when performing the horse stance past the 5 min mark? i bet it's going quite fast.
Hi Kitaro, I love your channel! Is it possible to know why you have paused making videos on movements? It seems you have been focusing more on breathwork lately. If I am wrong, please direct me to the right location where I can find your recent videos on movement. Thank you sir
Thank you for the fantastic content! I'm considering starting some training on the horse stance but I am a bit skeptical about my knee. Have had some issue in the past in terms of straining. Would you say this could make things worse? Cheers
Well any endurance to failure exercise will feel like that. I imagine holding a half push up for 5 mins would be the same... Actually probably worse because the chest and arms do not get as much load and exercise and time under tension. Still I think it is a fine practice, but yeah it is just a fatigue to failure within a single rep.
You’re not necessarily wrong but this one specifically puts a certain demand on the body and the mind that is nearly unmatched. And I’ve done different exercises for years training for endurance and nothing came close to this. But hey it’s not for everyone
I had one of the nostrils congested through at least 10 years (never breathing on both). Indeed, Jala Neto or breathing techniques can help temporarily alleviate symptoms. But if you want cure, you should look to the cause. What I've notice in my case, was that a few months after abandoning dairy in general (but also any animal sourced food), I suddenly realized I had no congestion and was breathing completely free from both nostrils. Also, my sinusitis Crysis (that used to happen 3 or 4x a year) didn't happen since then (it's 3 years now). You can have guidance from Ayurveda as well, in your journey to cure your symptoms.
@J J Seed oils is something I kept in my diet. No problem with that for that specific matter (congestion and sinus). Best is no oil of course. But removing dairy (and eggs) was definitely the game changer for me. And that's is aligned also with the ayurvedic texts.
lol ... try commercial gardening on a level of spiritual enlightenment 😂😂 I spend hours straddling a 1200-wide bed hinged at the hips weeding and planting and you consider 8 mins to be a spiritual challenge 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You could try coming across with more humility. Like, did you know you can develop horse stance and become very strong WHILE doing other things? No need to be condescending. For most people this is a new posture and will be very difficult.
Show us your form then! You constantly move while gardening. Can you HOLD the CORRECT position for 8 minutes? How’s your back after all that gardening?

After a lifetime training. I have found nothing harder than horse stance
It’s like dry land ice bath I find -

Wie immer alles sehr angenehm und gut erklärt-super
Wildling shoes, nice!
/e: Just saw them being mentioned in the description, after recognizing them. ;)
Thank you for these videos! I’m going to Poland next month for the winter expedition with wim! Your videos are helping me get ready. 😅

what do you mean by flushed? how did it feel? is that something good?
@@wakeupp563 I think it was just blood going to my ears. I guess it was just a response to pain.
@@watcherworld5873 oh ok👍👍
Is it okay to push ourselves like that? What if our blood vessels get ruptured since the heart pumps a lot while in stress?
Insane endurance. made me realise how weak I am. Thank you.
Thank You Brother.
This is brilliant

I watched this video in horse stance.
Way to go!

amazing time! makes me wonder how long i can stand after years of not trying 😉
I do 2 sets of 30 second with 12 second break. A few seconds into the second set is where the pain start to increase. Thanks for uploading this video.
I have found a new challenge
my last record with nice form 90 degree knee angle was 5 minute..need more training
have u tried bending steel with your hands after 3 hours of horse stance?
❤
8m. wow. You were probably ready to quit at 7:30 and said 8 or die!

No hate though. I like you and you did a great set and have a real true mind. Good for you and good for humanity. Well done.

I am looking for an ID for the background music in this video - anyone able to help? This track is not to be found on epidemicsound :/
It’s from epidemic sound. Which track are you looking for? There are several different tracks in this video
@@KitaroWaga It's the one with the Chinese Erhu instrument starting in the beginning of the video around 20 sec :)
@@J1mmy_F It's "Too Steep to Climb" by DESKANT.
@@KitaroWaga Thank you very much! :)
Sir, i have sinus, does doing WIM HOFF METOD cures sinus by any chance?
I mean my nose is always congested
You can boil some water and add 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil or tea tree essential oil and inhale the vapors , works wonders for congestion .
Use a Netti pot to irrigate sinuses. Boil filtered water first. Put salt in water. Good for keeping you free of colds, too!

Fasting, Wim Hof, sauna, no wheat, no pasteurized dairy, no seed oils. Thank me later :)

Can you walk up to 10 minutes? I shade my legs for a stand while sitting in a chair. My time is 3.30 seconds. 69 years old
