WUSHU TUTORIAL: Horse Stance

[@ScottWDoyle]

I love this... So many of the other Horse Stance videos show you just the stance itself-but not how to develop the strength and flexibility to hold it. Thank you so much!

[@etherealdeal1792]

Thank you for your training! As a girl, I find you especially inspiring as I learn from you and practice. I really appreciate the warm ups and strength training to improve as the student makes improvement....thanks so much!

[@borgullet3376]

This exercises are truly a gift. Thank you and GOD Bless you Jade !

[@KenpoKid77]

As a martial artist and exercise science major, this is like a double-scoop of fun for me. Though I study karate, I can definitely use this in my training and teaching.

[@danielgehtin9994]

😮😮

[@NewSecondCity]

We practice wushu several days a week, these tutorials are very professionally done

[@wolfgangbecker817]

Really.

[@coldwelthsimms5958]

Her stance is so perfect!!!

Now this is quality wu shu. Tried so hard to promote it during my teaching days...... Good to see this Hope it grows. You should train... open a school or something.

[@tomdunnnz460]

Love watching her fluency. So relaxed. Such compulsive viewing. Thanks Jade.

[@johnhammond213]

How lovely to hear you speak Jade. Thanks for this tutorial. We use much of the same moves in the Physical Therapy clinic I work in, when rehabbing dancers. Love your stuff.

[@sslee153]

Hi, Jade Can you please do tutorials for all the 5 basic wushu stances? Thank you

[@61zulu77]

Could you show the proper way to do a twist stance? thanks

[@themadceltsbucketlist3807]

Thing i love about jade is even though shes a damn fine martial artist, shes also a damn fine human being, a true warrior if there ever was 1. In the unlikely event if jade reading this, jade much respect though i dont do wu shu im a muay thai guy myself your videos on pre training stretching have given me much higher kicks and thanks to your easy to understand tutorials i do a pretty mean flying front kick so thanks jade 😊😊☺☺

[@DavideNastri]

Power, precision, fluidity. Beautiful!

[@AndresFnt]

Excellent video. Thank you for recording and sharing this for us to learn and educate ourselves on how to strengthen ourselves

[@lilasiangangsta12]

Thank you Jade!! Your wushu tutorials are super helpful and inspiring! Please keep making more :D

[@wolfgangbecker817]

Yes please - I do it since years, I am 66.

[@superfohn]

You can see the energy radiating from her

[@sionefifita7212]

I see alot of energy 😏

[@vesnaflego1986]

Please make more tutorials. All levels appreciate it. In these special circumstances most people can only train from home. ☺️ Start will all the basic stances please. 😋

[@earthman4020]

Very beautiful and informative! I really love your quietness and powerful teaching.

[@meanylemonhead4239]

DUUUUUDE I mean GURRRRRRL thank you to the wu shu world champion JADE XU!!! Your videos are helping me get to the next level.

[@kellyfroese3152]

Jade ..what an inspiration of excellence and astounding beauty you give the world..

[@TimbapaEllegua]

I Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Keep on rocking, lady!!!!

[@andersonpereira2247]

The description of the stance realy helped me to do exactly the same position. Thanks. Good video.

[@freddy_h3872]

The description is completely wrong with respects to how she does it though. Like literally nothing she does is what is written on screen. • Her feet are not “a bit” more than shoulder width apart. It’s more like double shoulder width. • Her feet are not parallel, they are pointing slightly but significantly outwards. • Her knees are not bent 90°, they are more like 60° (I measured). Her thighs are however parallel with the ground. Edit: Please note I’m not saying her stance is wrong (it’s excellent). I’m saying the description is wrong.

[@mrsirlukasko]

I've been watching videos of horse stance tutorials. And, if i remember correctly, this is the way my sifu demonstrated. Thanks Jade

[@satheeshkumar6865]

Awesome. Very well shown. Best is that no blah blah talk, straight to the point. Keep it up👍🏻

[@smwebster2]

Your horse stance is utterly beautiful.

[@floridamusings5244]

How has it taken me 9 years to find this gem! Great tutorial!

[@rohmichael2894]

Beautifully done ✅ with packed energy and technic. Excellent job!

[@Sandra-sr1wk]

This just showed up in my recs and I'm an instant fan! Wanna learn more now, you are really I souring to watch!

[@pandasister815]

I am a Chinese girl starting to learn Kung Fu in Germany and You are my inspiration!

[@AJJAP2]

Yes, Jade Xu! I'm loving all your tutorials! Using them as good examples for some youths that I assist in training. And for myself. In fact, I think I'm in love! :) Just please don't hurt me! ha ha

[@frankwilliams3036]

You form is impeccable. What an awesome martial artist!

[@sebastianjohnson9281]

She is beautiful

[@rishikeshkumar9653]

I used to practice 5yrs ago. after this video I'm going to practice again.

[@akhandsingh47]

Wow just awesome tutorials!! I have been fan of them :) I would like a tutorial request on exercises on how to do complete split. That's where I m weak.. I can't get my split full. Thanks

[@rustyshackleford159]

First off, I'd like to say this is very impressive. Second, this video made me blush.

[@TheBkrause]

Thanks for adding the extras around it as opposed to just showing the stance by itself!

[@Captainnationalexpress247]

Happy Birthday to the Jade of Improvement , master of king fu, and princess of the dragon in knowing what it takes to be the best fighting artist in the world of Martial Arts. It's a great opportunity to be in the very special events that creates the fastest and most popular freestyle in the world. Represent from People's Republic of China. Jade Xu. HAPPY Chinese New Year's Birthday Anniversary and it’s great to have her on her way to be on her celebration.

[@Graymanone]

Nice strong foundation! I've never seen anyone in my style that look like this.

[@ShihanPelish]

Awesome stance!! Great video, bow

[@TimbapaEllegua]

Jade Xu does not need anybody's approval to be a legitimate Laureate and a champion. She earned it through hard work. So, trying to police an imaginative wrong foot position is a deliberate way to downplay her wonderful attributes. Adrian Garcia, did you participate in the Olympic Games? I don't think so. Envy consumes you, don't spit your venom here.

[@LeriObba]

Some people parctice actual Kung Fu. This is wrong, and it's garbage.

[@Mkrfan2013]

Virginia - and you are garbage!

[@breakingdragon22]

Virginia I've trained with her in China and saw here when she was a child very impressive you would not last one minute in a Chinese martial art class traditional or contemporary you have no idea what real martial arts is and the best teachers I found were in the small villages and that was in the early eighties

[@StefWillemse]

@Virginia That's because this is Modern wushu, not the traditional Kung Fu you are thinking about.

[@israelcontreras1936]

@@LeriObbathe first thing you must learn on any martial art is respect. I think you are very missguided. Ask your teacher about it.

[@koroniriawehipeihanahaumu6770]

Magnificent tutorial Jade Xu amazing thankyou.❤

[@Leereporter1]

Thanks, Jade.Very nicely demonstrated.

[@wilmam4869]

Rimini!! Fantastica Jade!!❤

[@gaijin70]

funny how something as simple as Ma Bu can really accent little defects in leg strength for the avg martial artist.thx for posting Jade

[@sinabehbahani7746]

fantastic jade! loved it. very encouraging.

[@franciscocavieres426]

Desde Argentina .Excelente , muy bueno , gracias Jade ..... From Argentina :Excelent , very good , thanks , Jade

[@tokenstandpoint93]

Thanks for this. My horse stance (kiba dachi in my style) desperately needs work. Some of these exercises are going to be added to my workout routine one I am healed from surgery.

[@yehudahamaccabi9420]

I could not agree more!!! Her personality is more beautiful.

[@javiercastrosoria8526]

uoh, son ejercicios sencillos, y muy eficientes, realmente me gusta. Estoy siguiendo todos sus videos, señorita Jade, y en solo una semana he conseguido la flexibilidad y elasticidad que no conseguí en un año y medio de practicas con mi Sifú.Él se centra más en que hagamos las posiciones perfectas, sin hacer estiramientos asi, ni calentamientos como este. Realmente me gusta usted como Sifú :)

[@ilhamyama7584]

Simple To the point Beautiful Thank you it really strengthen my leg stability

[@gaijin70]

yes this can be done daily.Slowly at first,as in maybe 1-2 mins in the beginning. The important thing to remember is take your time,try not to rush anything.focus on form first

[@PatrickNanEdits]

In Wushu, there are sequence movements that require the performer to hold there stance. This is also a good exercise to build up quad strength. Stance is easy to do, just watch the video.

[@psyendacy]

Very powerful stance. Well done.

[@Alexdark_9]

Thank you for your vidéo Jade Xu^^

[@JohnDoe-fz7hz]

awesome video! Could you explain a little bit more about the Horse Stance? One Shoiln once explained it´s a basic exercise shown to kids to learn not to give up because that posture is very painful if untrained and hold on for a long time. I guess there is much more knowledge and benefits behind it!?

[@Mandenga100]

wow it looks so easy! I need a lot of practice :D

[@wormsali]

great exercises, thanks

[@SsS-yu8lu]

ขอบคุณมากค่ะ..ได้ประโยชน์จากคลิปของคุณมากค่ะ.จากประเทศไทย

She Has The Perfecting Ma Bu Of Every Horse Stance Tutorial

[@ivancedricarredondorodrigu1680]

Thank you so much for the tutorial :)

[@brianclark9602]

This looks like it will be good for hip therapy! If done slowly...had hip surgery years ago and this may be a remedy to strengthen it

[@letslearn4039]

Jade . You are amazing dear.

[@CilVine]

very good, solid posture. nice tutorial.

[@AmericanTestConstitution]

As far as Shaolin (external) arts are concerned the lower is arched like her back for horse stances or any symmetrical squat like posture of any width. The same holds true for doing squats with weights (power lifting) in a gym whether the feet are narrow or far apart. In a bow stance (non symmetrical stance), the opposite is true for the lower back. In a bow stance the LOWER back is more hunched than arched. Other styles may do horse posters differently than shaolin styles.

[@josephbasilio5822]

hi jade, nice videos. i was just wondering because i have tendinitis in my knees. not full blown but i can hear and feel the tears in my patellar tendon. i as wondering how would this be for me. im trying to practice my horse stance for strength and endurance, since im going to doing alot of taiji, thank hopefully you respond.

[@littledoggyoficiall2784]

U made a good tutorial... Thanks.. i like it

[@TheNagualZone]

This is really good! ty for upload

[@Graymanone]

I wish I could move like her! Very nice!

[@gangrail]

i shall try some of these exercises to improve my horse stance

[@willyslife1903]

great ideas lady.. I'm going to start doing these..

[@Rabenquell]

In Wushu class we do it like this: After arriving we are stretching Head to toe and Front split each side for 5 Minutes. So we are stretching cold for 20-25 Minutes. Then to consolidate our tendons we are doing 5 Minutes of MaBU. Then we practice basic stances ,then basic kicks and jump kicks. after all of that we do forms. i alwaysa feel good doing training ( and afterwards) and i havent get an injurie yet. For some reason i cant imagine me practicing like this at home ,because you always hear things like : You need always to do an general warm up ,otherwise you can injure youself. What do you think of this Practicing Method? in this case Mabu ( and switching Pu BU ) is the Warm Up ,also the Basic kicks are the Warm up. How does it sound for you?

[@Hey-un1sk]

She looks so solid, like a tree with deep roots

[@femiisme9679]

You make stretching look so easy

[@ismaelnin8960]

Gracias, Jade 👊🏽

[@mg4elements]

Thats super cool! But to a total noob like me, what's the horse stance for? Just a stretching exercice?

[@evaka8292]

Thank you for these lessons, I want to be like you!

[@palanikumara5276]

Yes I also

[@junjungatbos3548]

Thank you Ms. Jade🙏🏻

[@yehudahamaccabi9420]

Ms. Xu, Thank you for this video. I am sending this video to my wife, in order to strengthen her legs.

Very helpful, thank you.

[@willy0297]

Hello, Jade Xu. My name is Willy and I come from Indonesia. I want to ask something. When doing horse stance, shall I keep the spine in a neutral position (as you did in the video) or tuck my pelvis so my lower back is a bit more straight? Thank you in advance for the reply.

[@oiocha5706]

Awesome skills! Do you also know self defense techniques or do you only focus on performance wushu?

[@sasoukisa4875]

from tunisia nice video i am berber like asia many of my family live in asia and europe and usa and north africa

[@zyruemusic]

JADE IS THE DAMN TRUTH!!!!!

[@Pablofelipepe]

[@WandererNamedGuy]

Thank you for the demonstration.

[@edeyawilson8537]

Xie xie ni. That was helpful.

[@ivanildodasilvapereira8923]

Do I can practice every day the horse stance?

[@gaijin70]

try slowly at first a little every day.but be consistant and push through.5-10 mins a day makes a world of difference.

[@Dreadnaught89]

Very good hip and ankle mobility.

[@earwig1965]

i have been doing it fung fu style i knew it was popular among many different practices but i didnt know they modify it.

[@diliproyvlogs6505]

Mam you are superb 👌👌👌

[@sifubonnielee1044]

she really knows what to do

[@yomyomcam]

Woah! thanks for sharing this is amazing

[@Source_Singing_God_is_in_Us]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!!

[@Xuanmen9]

I more or less agree with you. I prefer to avoid having my knee pass the toe line as well as aim for as upright a posture as I can manage when called for, and you're right that the strength and flexibility requirements are different. I personally don't know about knees in front of the heels being "incorrect." But if you could manage a horse stance with thighs parallel to the ground and knees right above the heels, then that would indeed train some nice strength! Work to an ideal, but be fluid...

[@aladahallibakkesh]

i have seen in some photos of kung fu masters that they do not make their knee angle 90 degree is that necessary to make it 90 degree. and i had read in shaolin kung fu's website that our internal energy will enhance is that true? and your video is amazing thanks for uploading

[@josellmaia]

Perfeita!! 💐💟👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
