Stage 1 - 站樁勢 Zhan Zhuang Shì
IN THIS LESSON
Tendon Stretching 拉筋延展
Welcome to QiXing Tang Lang Shú's first lesson! Here, Huang Laoshi introduces the overall QXTLS curriculum and training content. We begin with Tendon Stretching — what many simply call "warm-ups" — but building and maintaining flexible tendons and muscles is essential groundwork for developing Jin later in your training. In this pilot lesson, Huang Laoshi also introduces the first 4 fists of 八捶 (Bā Chuí) and the first movement of 站樁勢 (Zhàn Zhuāng Shì). Enjoy!
