Analysis of Zhan Zhuang (Post standing/Tree hugging stance) Part 2 - Muscle, Fascia and Tension

Last post of 2021 is an in depth analysis of the muscle, fascia, agonist/antagonist pairs, tensional relationships and even myofascial meridians (Anatomy Trains) involved in the Zhan Zhuang posture. My goal was to convey a overall conceptualization and relationships of the tensional forces (muscle and fascia) in this posture and support it via the muscles and fascial sheets involved. Static postures involve static states of tension and movement is the result of changing states of tension. I look forward to further exploring and applying this concept to more stances and training methods in the future. I encourage those interested to check out the references and learn as well. If you come up with differing conclusions/assessments please share! Since anatomy trains is quite popular I figured it would make sense to relate it to the "meridians" presented in that book. Please like and share! Happy New Year! Keep training, exploring and improving! #zhanzhuang #taijiquan #xingyiquan #baguazhang #physiology #kinesiology #kungfu #anatomy #anatomytrains #fascia #myofascialmeridians #tension #agonist #antagonist #posture #stance
