hello

[@Virginielie]

A generous teacher who teaches in details.....

[@perrypelican9476]

This guy is fantastic. I am so happy that there are so many Chinese masters sharing their very valuable knowledge . It will not only make us much more healthy but also have much better lives. It's not about self défense as much as health, relaxation and happiness. This is the first guy that I'm really want to learn from. How lucky we are that he is sharing his knowledge that is so valuable.

[@urzsulaz2604]

Perry Pelican I like him

[@urzsulaz2604]

What city he s teaching?

[@ken-mb5cp]

I like it better with no or very little explanation.

[@_Wai_Wai_]

This guy has been accepting foreign students for years, but seems recently his English has improved. But what about westerners? Have their Mandarin improved? It's as if expecting your college professor to learn your native language and teach you his stuff

[@torowudang]

I thank Master Yuan for authorizing the publication of these videos and I also want to congratulate wudang academy staff for publishing these teachings, they are of great value to me, they are an inspiration to continue the journey, one day I want to go to wudang and train with our Sifu Yuan, I wish you many blessings, health and peace. Greetings from Puerto Rico!!!!

[@goognamgoognw6637]

amazing teacher !! I usually watch videos and nod but with him I was on the floor trying what he taught. Because he explains the reason and goal so well and visually it changes everything.

[@wfloes5420]

So what , do you want a trophy

[@ellenmarchal5888]

the base: flexibility, mobility, suppleness, centering and everything flows... Thank you for this video full of wisdom and accuracy

[@borisrin3775]

"Too stiff here, too stiff here... well, you need to work it out, find the problem - then fix it, that's a meaning" = ) Amazing master, xiexie daoshi

[@michaelweichhardt]

We have frequently videos on this topic - make sure to subscribe and learn with our students :)

[@YogaMitLeslie]

wow great explanation. I am a Yogateacher but I can learn alot here

[@pranakhan]

Yes! Good to see, this is real, foundational training. You have to make attaining these lower stances a lifestyle change; practicing them all day long, in any way you can. Strength, Mobility, Flexibility.

[@stverdge9057]

So fluid, even his gestures are circular. Nice video and even better teaching style.

[@urzsulaz2604]

A perfect teacher

[@gabryg1849]

Grazie ancora Master Yuan Xiu Gang, And You for sharing this content, 🙏

[@janosszentpeteri1922]

Amazing Great Master! He is look after the people. I just love it!

[@benjaminmarcusjudge927]

My brother maximum blessings thank you

[@susanaduarteraposo]

Great explanation!

[@pentuplove6542]

Stretching must be relaxed. But when one can, then tighten the muscles then relax and one will find that thry can stretch a little further. From total tension comes total relaxation the opposite is true. Very good Sifu.

[@AdamMundok]

Really great demonstration and explanation. Thank you for sharing!

[@hu4ngming]

10:45 when I did that, I stretched, but there's tension and pain at areas near the lateral of my belly (往馬步傾斜的左右腰部) . How do I stretch that out? Or remedy?

[@adrianbrice]

thank you so much

[@sharonjoan9997]

Full of gratitude for your presentation

[@luciapedron408]

GREAT TEACHER!!!!

[@mrjackolanterns]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. Such wisdom and knowledge. This has done incredible things for my lumbar pain and overall flexibility. Much appreciated, a thousand times!

[@dorjedriftwood2731]

This also the first movement in breakdancing, if your miniscus is hurt what to do? My left knee is bone on bone a lot of the time in that squat.

[@yosuuri5801]

Es posible en castellano el video?

[@Niran333]

even if they were just a few pointers, it drastically improves what I need to do even in normal stretching.. Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelweichhardt]

You're so welcome!

[@peterrudolph7857]

Thank you Master Yuan Xiu Gang for Video. It´s a great help for my training.

[@pentuplove6542]

I'm Irish/British and have worked as a Chinese Chef. Squatting eating is no problem for me. When at work I have had Chinese people surprised that I eat while squatting. Also trained in Karate and Kung Fu.

[@imran00707]

Nice tips.. Master can you make a video on how to make the knees stronger for performing tai chi deeper stances.

[@brigittemilde44]

Thank you very much for all your Videos, very helpful and the best explaination of all . 👍

[@kurukcr]

Thank you for sharing this invaluable lesson, it's a treasure. Regards from Costa Rica!

[@tartantilia]

[@nerdsageentertainment9323]

I have arthritis in both knees. Can this stretch help me with that?

[@miasmic100]

How to enroll to this training, I wish to Join

[@junjungatbos3548]

He speaks english very well

[@kasumifu1541]

Greetings everyone. May I enquire what do you think about the tuition pricing of Master Yuan's school? Or about the prices at Wu Dang Shan in general? Thank you kindly.

[@湖心月影]

Thanks for sharing. This is fantastic!

[@gjigaqaquj]

The exercise at the end im teaching myself, one problem i have is its sort of pinching my sides when i rest on my knee. Like my side stomach skin is folding in and causing discomfort. This is just normal? Just practice more right?

[@The1951skylark]

Thank you Master Yuan Xiu Gang

[@georgebernal4180]

Great knowledge and sharing very decent man and teacher great respect

[@yoya4766]

I think I learned more from this video about my body than I have for years trying to understand my health issues.

[@sk.2422]

Thank you, very interesting g and helpful.

[@Art-vn3ow]

Respect!

[@kumarjavvaji]

As a 42 year old I'm wondering - How do you do this without injuring yourself?

[@urzsulaz2604]

So flexible

[@averyjoycelynbarakudablock4139]

At 4.43 ¡ ! aaaAAAhhh !. . The way a master can so DEFTLY throw that right leg out with such precision and (elastic-like) ease. It's deceiving - - the power necessary to execute this seemingly simple move.

[@velvetpaws999]

Stira and suka: firmness and ease... use effort only as much as necessary, and let each body part share the collective effort. In other words, distribute an effort over all involved body parts.

[@Nash4Nashville]

This is awesome!

[@michaelweichhardt]

You can buy Chinese toilets here: wudang.academy/product-tag/squat-toilet/ (international shipping)

[@preetd5742]

If you are coming in Toronto I want to join your classez

[@bwoodward9564]

If you want to fight you must join a fighting club and lose many times. Mr Moy once said to me, how can you win if you don't lose? However, this Wudang is very good.

[@isabelrodrigues6429]

Muito importante essas bases. Gratidão.

[@derekelshaw4242]

Best instruction ive ever seen

[@johnfaram4684]

fantastic stuff

[@janosszentpeteri1922]

It would be really great if He could come and teach all his knowledge in Manchester England. I would go to learn from him.

[@michaelweichhardt]

We have many seminars throughout the year and you are always welcome to visit: wudang.academy/category/events/

[@suetv7084]

I could not do this when I was 4, wonder how long it will take to get to this level at 55. :)

[@pentuplove6542]

Sitting on a toilet isnt natural. It cones from French King who would have a toilet built into his Throne. He would go whilst holding Court. Very uncivilised.

[@ken-mb5cp]

So identify the problem tendons

[@jjooeegg1]

Good video

[@shantibaum]

Danke für die guten Ideen ..

[@pentuplove6542]

Squatting toilets are natural for the body. It opens a muscle making defecating very easy. Unless on is constipated. Learning from an early age is best.

[@emany09]

Such a treasure! Thank you!

[@stefanschleps8758]

Such basic conditioning is fundamental to success in many forms of martial arts. And just life in general. It is a sad statement on mans civilization. That he has lost touch with his natural movements in the race towards a more comfortable life. There is irony here. But thanks to Master Yuan, and a small handful of other traditional teachers. There is a rebirth occurring. Not just in kung fu society, but across the globe. We have lost far too much already. To lose anymore of our humanity. Thank you Master Yuan. Overcome the darkness. Return the Light. Laoshr #6O Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

[@7eye7]

Global indeed.

[@qigongandthemartialarts3273]

great

[@cjschmitt4882]

sub'd ....thanks

[@VeraVirsa-wf2op]

🙏🙏

[@bwoodward9564]

As I have explained in May, Moy Lin Shin's tai chi is comparable. The Canadian Tai Chi Academy is not so far away as wudang, but I am convinced that this is the real deal.

[@antonioi7589]

Good chigong five animals👍wudang

[@liyu9350]

So difficult.

[@isabella3025]

Looks very sick and stiff the Snake I perfomed,OMG Im not normal ¡¡¡

Omg¡¡¡ I have serious flexibility problems

[@AaronCheck-dx3ud]

I think those who dislike this video are stuck at 90 degrees.

[@TRUTHorSTFU]

No, we're just stuck in truth and clarity.

[@AaronCheck-dx3ud]

@@TRUTHorSTFU If it were truth and clarity, would you really be stuck?

[@FredLinSG]

Asian Squat Masterclass

[@velvetpaws999]

Haha, for Chinese people it’s not a problem, because they squat all their lives, not just for the toilet, lol. Westerners mostly never squat, so all the muscles are extremely tight, and they have also not acquired the proprioceptic data to keep balance in this squat. And you don’t make the tendon longer, this is a common mistake; you need to train the muscle to elongate more. Tendons’ function is to be as strong as possible. So, do soothe and cajole your leg muscles into better relaxation.

[@fchow8652]

Why do one have to sit so low? The opponent is standing up there, right? Over stretching the joints isn't a good idea?

[@Trevktaves]

Good for health, not fighting. Flexible joints is ok if all body is flexible. Good excersize makes the joints move togther correctly.

[@nathrob2437]

Tyson wasn't much shorter than some of his opponents, yet he opted for a very low bobbing stance, you're not just going to stay down there, it would be as stupid as standing still, this doesn't just apply to fighting ether, it's stretching for flexibility and health, it's the ability to move on every level, whether you're stood up or crouching, these types of stances with momentarily confuse an opponent, creating an opening to attack

[@akatsukimaru3963]

nope, its is for fighting, when you put you mass center down you have better stability

[@cIeetz]

did He just call the squatting position the "poo poo" lmao

[@edixasanchezpacheco3692]

Happy Holidays yes, he explains that that’s the natural body posture to go poop. Or when people eat. ..,which is something that some modern society have lost

[@nihilidron]

So commercial

[@hadlevick]

Yeuteamo

[@mthandoz]

xie xie

[@norbertW64]

Frustrating for this people. I can't understand all these positiv comments Here. Its only for very flexibel ones. They Like fancy teachers, calling IT qi Gong all the time

[@junjungatbos3548]

Not for meat eaters
