Standing Like a Tree
Standing like a tree, in Chinese Zhan Zhuang, is a unique Chi Kung
system which is characterised by its great effectiveness and
efficiency. Zhan Zhuang is pronounced "Jan Jong", or, in southern
China, "Jam Jong".
For most people, training in Zhan Zhuang is a complete surprise in the beginning. There are no recognisable external movements, although it is a highly energetic exercise system. In contrast to many other methods, Zhan Zhuang develops our internal energy in a very efficient way, instead of consuming it.
Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung is practiced in well-balanced
standing positions which increase the flow of energy and build up
internal strength. The Zhan Zhuang system is based on a unique fusion
of relaxation and exertion which stimulates, cleanses and massages the
whole body.
Through the practice of Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung we're able to take advantage of our whole potential, both physically and psychologically, without becoming exhausted. This is achieved in a completely natural way without the need for fighting ourselves.
