Zhan zhuang
Zhan zhuang (站椿) or "standing like a post" is a method of training in many Chinese martial arts in which static postures are used for meditation, to develop patience, leg strength and stamina on the one hand; or to develop whole body strength on the other; specifically among the internal styles. Those unfamiliar to zhan zhuang can experience severe muscle faitgue and shaking at first.
