Hey friends, today I want to talk about the horse stance and how it can help you develop more willpower, leg strength, and hip mobility. I'm going to show you the proper form of the horse stance, indicators of doing it wrongly, and also progressions and regressions for different levels.

"The burning in my legs, The fire in my legs converted into spiritual energy, spiritual fire, that now resides in my heart"
I focused on the same statement. And it's precursor " whatever life throws at me I'm strong enough to deal with it ".
In the third year of recovery from a shattered hip and pelvis just starting to do it 30 seconds at a time 15 sets. Been working overall strength great increase in midsection
Glad to hear Calvin! Good luck on your journey
my record in horse stance is 7 minute, i can also hold stomach plank for over hour
@@Sh0n0 badass check out the videos of the little monks in training crying while doing it forever it's motivating
@@Sh0n0 wow! I cant imagein some1 can do 1hour ?
Hey Brother check the Knees over toes guy , can those exercises to rehabilitate and strength your areas that are injured.
I have to say, it's interesting seeing so many people trying the horse stance outside of the martial arts community these days. I remember throughout grade school, middle school and highschool when I trained in Taekwondo and Shaolin kung fu, whenever people would ask me at school or out and about, what kinds of things we do in martial arts (because they want to learn something), I always offered the horse stance as well as one or two other stances as a foundation and beginning, then the kicks afterwards. Everyone looked at me like I was stupid and thought it was ridiculous. They said, "just teach me a punch or a kick". I would said, the horse stance is literally how you build mule like power with your side-kick, which I'll show you afterwards if you can do this. They would say, how long should I stand like this? I would say, try 30 seconds at first. They would do it and start shaking and say after 7 seconds, OW! I don't like this, and they would give up on trying to learn martial arts and return to their prior stance of making fun of me for doing martial arts. Keep in mind, this was the will power of middle school and high school kids.
i'm literally in the same boat and people keep asking me why i rarely ever get knocked down in sparring and with good defense from combined arts am so evasive good at parries and counters and never seem to even get close to being knocked out. And i tell them its all multiple years of discipline. Horse stance even works for stuff like muay thai and standard boxing. it keeps you on your feet. And it's good for checking leg kicks. And using push kicks and other stuff very powerful stuff gives you a strong base and if used correctly makes you 100 times harder to deal with.
I had a large friend group in college and several of us tried horse stance at the behest of our kung fu friend. I stuck with it and managed to get up to 3:30 after a lot of training. One of them stood up after 7 seconds and never tried it again, and we called him "Joe, the path of least resistance" after that.
Wish I was there. I have this weird completionist habit and would retry it until I reach 30 seconds.
Don't know if I'd go for longer times, but seeing as this is the year I yearn to reach my current physical peak, I'd probably try my best to go for longer
Damn, first time i've actually heard of this stance as a tough excercise. (I've seen it in media and stuff, but didn't realise how hard it actually is)
I recently started excercising again, and thought this would be a fun one to try. So, at your advice, I started for 30 seconds... jesus the burn. I made it, but just barely. I hate planking with a passion, and this reminds me of it very much, but I'll hold vast until I reach the 2 minutes from the video. And maybe I'll reach it for planking too, never got above 1 minute for that
Those people who made fun of you didn't deserve to learn martial arts because the first thing they should learn is discipline. I don't train martial arts but I do workout with calisthenics or body weight. The horse stance is an isometric exercise that really builds strength especially your legs given that in martial arts footwork is very important.
Excellent video! 👍 The flexibility vs. mobility aspect is so overlooked. Keep it up! 👊
Isn't it different in karate??...Seko dachi..it slightly 45 degree
@@vinayvinod3522 yes
@@vinayvinod3522 But it also depends on if you are doing a seko dachi or a kiba dachi. In Sung Lung Miu, we do the kiba dachi the same way as this example in the video, i.e., the feet facing forward and the thighs parallel to the floor.
Wow, Jessie. Hope you're as well as can be 🙏
@@vinayvinod3522 There's two. The one with the toes facing forward, like seen here, is the kiba-dachi. The one with the toes outward is the shiko-dachi.
You can immediately tell that this bloke knows what he's talking about after only considering his tone of voice. I can hear the amount of hours he has trained just by how settled but firm his voice is.
What a cool video, I'm glad I found this
lol I felt the exact opposite, seemed forced and artificial. We get it, you're calm- now 2x speed setting
They say what you say its less important than how you say it
@@brockbah2048 you are obviously unaware of the bi-products of a healthy lifestyle.
@@brockbah2048 It sounds like either english isn't his first language or he might have a slight speech impediment. Maybe that's where you're getting the "artificial" vibes from. IMO most people would find his voice extremely calm, relaxing, and attractive.
Insane how inspiring the guy is
I'm watching this video again and again. Not so much because I feel I should learn the perfect horse stance, but because I'm soaking up the calmness of his voice and the atmosphere.
Random thing about the horse stance. I was using it while painting with a roller. My pregnant wife wanted to help so much but I wouldn't let her. Eventually I let her help, she went into horse stance and her water broke. LOL, the boy is okay.
Appreciation for your candid tone and perspective!
I have heard severals people with a calming voice but you my friend are a true zen master
I subscribe this channel for a good reason.
😀👍🏻
Kitaro, this is an awesome video. Thank you so much for making this. I searched TH-cam for something exactly like this. Something that connects the body and the mind and spirit. When you said you felt as if the burning in your legs converted to the fire in your heart I felt like I wanted to experience that more than anything right now. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your content.
Thank you soooo much! I`ve been practicing horse stance for a while now but this clarified a lot of small things that one should be aware of. Keep up your good work sir.
I love the energy you give bro very calm energy you have
I really liked the way you explain things and the calmnes with wich you express it, and what you presented to us, go on!
This is very motivating. Like the vibe. Thank you.
wow this was such a beautiful video. I havent practiced the horse stance since my youth but this perfectly vibes with my practice. Thank you, for this.
This is great! Glad you were recommended to me! Subscribed
Love this, thank you for sharing this content. Your living space is inspiring too! 🤩
I'm going to do this for sure. It seems so good for the peace in my mind I think. Also, love it how relaxed this man is
absolutely brilliant stuff, even for someone who has been on this path for years
4:10 That random timer is such a great idea.
From personal experience, not looking at the watch can make it harder. Once you reached the point when it gets strenuous, I tend to tread the amount of time left being larger than I can handle.
Whereas if you know the remaining time, I tend to have an easier time pushing myself since I know "the end of the tunnel". Except on bad days if the remaining time is surprisingly high - then it is just as bad if not worse than not knowing it, haha.
Came for the stance, stayed for the soothing voice.
This was very interesting. I've gone down a rabbit hole and watched more of your videos. I really enjoy your process and editing. You need more subscribers, I was expecting around 200,000 because of the quality of the video. I have tried the horse stance and will try and incorporate it into my workout. Thanks! Keep up the good work.
Excellent video. Thank you for posting this! 😀
This was an amzing instructional video! Thank you!
Today is my first. While listening I tried the first stance for 1min. Waited some minutes and tried again listening to the last part of the video.
As I listen I was able to achieve 1:30min. But I guess since 40sec I started to get several urges to give up. I held my self on for 1 or 2 sec and the urges would pass.
This video is fantastic. i've started trying out the horse stance and indeed is a test for willpower, near the end of the 2 minutes as a beginner you really REALLY wanna quit beacuse it burns so bad but with determination you manage to succeed anyways. its great, i've been doing 2 minutes for the last few days and its kinda fun even. that and the soothing tone of your voice really made the video more enjoyable, this is actual asmr haha.
I didn't even get 3/4 of the way through the video and so far this is the most condensed, useful and helpful video I've ever seen on mabu between 5 step vs 7 step, the dynamic of standing too high and how plumb your spine is, etc. I appreciate it greatly. Also, as far as the time thing: I stopped using timers and now only use my breath as a measure. I do other exercises and so haven't pushed myself to grow past a certain point in horse stance, but I currently hold for 68 breaths at parallel.
this actually improve my squats and my performance on a bike. so thanks for uploading this video.
You speak the true true. Respect and Gratitude.
One of the best exercises hands ✋️ down. Lifted weights for years. Did traditional tang lang chuan for 25yrs - horse stance the best.
Thank you for making this I very much appreciate your work! 🙏💥
Wonderful video, Thank you!
Stumbled across this video...just what I needed right now I think. Thanks!
What a great video, History, Science, How-to, everything you could want. Thank you!
Great video. Very insightful and helpful. Thank you
Thank you very much. I appreciate we way you explain. Horse stance is a big challenge for me. Some days I can't go low, nor stay more than a few seconds, sometimes it's better, but still not low enough and still only several seconds. I will try with your video ..... see if I progress .....
Thanks kitaro. I really enjoy your videos and your explanations.
Wow! I'm stunned. I tried it right now and pushed to 2mins and I can't put into words how I felt right after. I can really relate to the "burning legs translating into a fire in the heart". Idk I just felt very good, happy and at peace after doing it, thanks for the video!
thanks for reminding me and motivating me
I have no idea why this was recommended to me, but I'm now using this exercise in my workout now. I have yet to truly master it, but it is already promising. Kitaro, you have my full attention, can't wait to see what else I will learn from you.
Like the psychological component. Great idea with the random timer, too.
started doing this not rly reqularly but from time to time after watching baki and it’s a good all toghether exercise for leg conditioning. bin striking and grappling for a hot minute and it’s helped me with high kicks and being im bottom guard. gonna start doing it more and this video was awsome, please keep up the good work and i hope to see more and more awsome videos(sorry for the bad grammer english isn’t my first language).
oh my god I need to watch more of your videos, your voice is fantastic
Doing the horse, for the last 47 years! Hung Gar Kuen practitioner! You’re exactly Right! Thanks!
I think if taught by a GREAT trainer. Kung fu is great for peace and body strength. But you shouldn't really learn it if fighting ability is your goal. COMBINE it with a similar martial art that is actually good however? Works brilliantly
@@tipoftheiceberg7034 Kung Fu has plenty for fighting. It all depends on Sifu, and amount of training you do.
@@sillymesilly no, if you are fighting against any other martial arts practitioner you’ll most likely lose that’s why you don’t see such fighting styles in mma
From horse to side horse to standing horse. It's the foundation of who we are💪💪💪
Tell'em brother 🙏
Random timer is actually pretty useful; Il make sure to let my instructors at our dojo know about this,
thanks!
Your voice is incredibly relaxing. I'm going to incorporate this during the evening.
In the last minute I got so emotional I burst into crying. I don't know why.
This is such an awesome video coming from someone who loves exercise, floor sitting, and philosophy
Thank you! Love your newly discovered channel! 🙏🌸💚
Wonderful! Glad you like it
Great, thank you. Great voice for guided meditation.
great video ! working on my horse stance these days - thank you - S
so many good tips, thx so much keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Yes mobility! Like your meaning there. Horse stance is excellent strength and willpower builder. Your video reminds me that I should do it often, even though I am recovering from a severe stroke. Is good passive exercise that doesn't require moving coordination, which is difficult and dangerous for me right now. Like your delivery too, you are quite mellow.
Thank you, good mate; you hit all of those key, strengthening points and how greatly these can profit oneself. I'll be sure to bring the horse stance, at least this way, back into my various exercises.
thank you for reminding me of this!
So well spoken and inspiring✨️
l came for the horse stand but l wasn t expecting such a nice voice . You make it very enjoyable to listen . Thank you !
You voice is very calming, thank you for your video
Great vid!! I’m a big fan of horse dance, this video motivates me
I love your soothing voice!
definitely gonna add this to my routine
I love your mantra they cut through fear and bring you to the present
Great Video. I like the calm setting. And frankly speaking i envy your voice 😀
You are very pleasant to listen to! You have a nice calm soothing aura I really liked this video and will begin my journey with the Horse Stance. Thank you very much! Liked and subscribed.
Thank you so much! Good luck on your Horse Stance journey! Stay strong
It's a very beautiful video brother. I love the colors, your calm and clear voice. You've inspired me to make some more in-depth content on specific Asanas. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Wow, thank you
I have been feeling in my heart of hearts that I need to discipline myself in order to be healthier in mind and body. So beautifully random for your video to appear. Subscribed 💙🙏🏾
Same here brother!!!
great video. exactly when i was searching for it.
nice and calm explanation.
thanks!
Glad, you liked it!
Your voice is like balm for my soul
Had to hold it two hours doing strike and block drills during my 1st Dan TKD test. The 5 minutes between sets were gruelling due to no distractions, just standing there. I could barely walk away after. I also worked up to it over a year. Brutal but excellent will builder.
This video is so chill haha I love it
I was counting while in Mabo... Recently I timed my stance. What I thought was twenty seconds was actually a minute. I kept counting slower and slower because I was afraid I wasn't getting the most out of the stance.
Just subscribed - your lovely energy simply flows from the screen. Peace brother.
I really love your voice and the general asthetic of the video, awesome stuff keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it!
Very well presented.
Great voice, great vid, would love a longer one!
Great video! Another great way for beginners is to use a wall. Back flat against the the wall and sink into the stance.
Using the staff brought back tons of memories. I have studied martial arts my entire life, most in Goju Ryu Karate and we call this stance shiko dachi . But in my gung fu training we call it horse stance.
This stance if done correctly is extremely powerful.
Again great video my friend
thank you!
Can't believe you're so underrated, this is an awesome video!
Thank you so much!
THANKS 😊
" I NEEDED THAT "
I AM GOING TO DO THIS
OK 30 DAYS
I WILL DO THIS
THANKS 😊
CLO ❤️
Strong Work!
This is beutiful! Thanks🙏🏾
His voice and overall vibe is so calm that it feels so relaxing.. I was about to sleep 🙂
You are so calm, thank you 💪🏾💥
Thank you! For some I may speak to slow or too calmly, so I'm glad you like my speaking tone
@@KitaroWaga i dont like it, neither do so many other people, but thats because we are too wound up and anxious, not because you're too calm. I will strive to achieve your level of calmness. 🙏
Kitaro you are amazing! Love your content. Keep creating. I hope your vibration attracts all the people you can imagine
Thank you so much for your nice comment!
Back in the late 80s I attended a Hung Gar school in NYC, and holding horse stances for long periods of time were par for the course. However, I learned the hard way that I needed to stretch my quads after doing them. I remember the day I could barely hold one for anything beyond a minute as my legs felt like lead. A guy asked me if I stretched, which I didnt. So I proceeded to spend around half an hour stretching my quads and I could not believe how it seemingly "cured" me. Stretching flushed out all the crap build up from my workouts.
TLDR: Always stretch!!!!! Even after workouts!!!!
Excellent video Kitaro, I especially liked your talk at the end about intentional discomfort. When I am at home I like to challenge myself to cold plunges in Lake Michigan during the winter, I always take a long time to warm up so I will try the horse stance next time to see if it helps!
I subscribed in the first few seconds because of how peaceful this video is 😭
This was soo good. Iam thankful for finding your channel 🙏🏾 i will start one of the challange today👌🏾
You got this! Good luck on your journey! And thank you for your kind words
very nice calm voice. makes it more intresting
Liked the vibe man
and the info
Wow That's extremely hard to do 🤭
You have a very nice calm voice , 😇 ' I enjoyed your explanation of how to do this hoarse stance... 💯I tried to do it an was amazed at how hard it was to hold .😶.You make it look so easy ..Your legs are very Strong 🦾 I will keep trying 💃 Thanks for sharing 🤗
Excellent video brother. Thank you.😎✝️
Thank you brother
Im glad this got recommended, sub
Thank you
Very good video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessings for all reading this comment.
Such an amazing content!
I love the room!
After trying this just a few times, I can already tell it will be supremely useful in gaging my physical and mental willpower. I am very weak in both aspects at the moment, but I was able to work up to 1 minute with horrendous form breaking at the end but still. Horse stance will humble your ass into the dirt.
