What is Zhan Zhuang?
Zhan Zhuang is a form of static Qigong, which refers to the practice of holding certain postures for extended durations. These positions are connected to those utilized in real combat and are also employed to develop Qi, internal energy, and strength. Overall, the aims of Zhan Zhuang consist of:
- to work on the training of one’s Intent (Yi);
- to develop one’s martial structure;
- to learn the bodily alignments of the art and perfect them in a more relaxed state;
- to train to breathe correctly;
- to improve one’s health.
To learn more about the static Qigong and Zhan Zhuang, I recommend reading this book sale on Amazon” Qigong for Better Mind and Body Health“. Here is a free sample of the book.
