How long can you hold your horse stance? This is a contest, based completely off of honesty since we don't have a real way of knowing.
Legs should be a few inches past your shoulders, and you should sink into a deep stance. Your thighs should be parallel with the ground. Your feet should be square.
Now time yourself and see how long you can hold your horse stance!
Our sense of fun, its a killer holding that stance. And anyway the wing chun practitioners are all very accustomed to the stace. well thats my poor excuse anyway.

I've heard that stance called a tiger stance and in the Wing Chun I do, we don't stand in it. Its very hard on the tendons and ligaments around the knee. The system I used to study did that a lot. I could hold it for about three minutes, but not sure I could anymore. Three minutes seems like such a short time when you say/type it, but I remember thinking it was forever. Keep your back straight when you do this stance. Leaning forward makes it too easy If you hands out in front of you at shoulder level, it'll give you something to focis on and work your shoulders a bit too. If you are doing the stance right, it looks like you are sitting in a chair.
Leisure may not be an option for this indefatigable human instrument of martial arts. It is the Tao, sort to speak passably, that he his set on such credenda, to which he may not abdicate. It is the WAY, the Do, of what certitude he has.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe this. If you did a stance for 55 minutes, it was not the tiger stance. A normal ma bo, I can accept. A tiger stance, as I described above, I really doubt. The longest I've ever seen anyne do it is 6 minutes and he was a professional athlete.

I think he was talking about horse stance cos that's what the thread started off as.

The second one his stance is much deeper. his thighs are parallel with the ground. The other one his thighs are not parallel with the ground, ergo his stance isn't as deep.
The lower the stance, the harder. The challenge is to do a horse stance like the second guy, with thighs parallel to the ground. If done correctly your leg muscles should burn a lot after a minute or so. After that it is all will power. If you can do this stance for 55 minutes, you are God.

i did it, and there are many people who can do it longer then me. after words i could barly walk tho, and yes my thighs were parallel. It was at school and there were many witnesses.
so your telling me none of you has seen someone stay in that stance for an hour or more or atleast close to an hour

All I can say is there has to be a difference in the way we are doing the stance, because I am not a wimp, and I practically collapsed at 2:30. There is way to big of a time gap, so you must have done it differently either legs weren't the same distance apart, or you weren't in as low of a stance.
If you insist that you are doing it the same, than you have completely kicked my butt.
