In the line of yiquan I practice the first three years of standing is done in a similar manner to that of the shaolin yijin ching. It is mentally relaxed but very physically taxing. One literally produces pools of sweat during an hour session. This develops a very strong structure. Other systems use different methods to achieve similar results. Wang Xiang Zhai described it as stretching the tendons and compressing or shrinking the bones. After the foundation is built the standing becomes more and more relaxed until eventually there is no muscular tension involved in holding the posture. An hour was the minimum at our school. Sometimes it would go quite a bit longer if sifu was in a particularly ball breaking mood.

all the great master when beginner has for first step to relax articulation
and then when you master and that your body is relax and master empty full principle you can stand in pillar standing for one hour
like sun lu tang was teaching one hour pillar standing to who? his best student ,only one
and if you dont control year after year and select the students you give them to stand one hour zz , what is the consequence?
student and master smoking like fireman the yang energy so hot wants to go out
violent people who are more violent dont control their yang energy
a lack in mutation force in tui shou because of too much tension.
