There is no such thing as a "strange standing posture"! Alot of static postures have been passed down for centuries but it was not until
YIquan/Dachengquan instituted a 'didactic' training/conditioning programme that it came out of a woodwork. The few talked about it without
any instruction or methodology.
There is the "usual" zhanzhuang mabu 'holding ball to the front' and similar static posture(s) and postures from taijiquan (taijizhuang) where
specific postures from x form(s) are held (more of a carryover from 'neigong' practice(s)' of the last 100 years, and then a modernist interpretation (as I call it)
of what is termed zhuangfa (standing methods
) where posture(s) are liberally staged in order to access and retain 'energetic health' serving as a
template for wellness and fitness.
