Hey fellow YSB practitioners!
In the spirit of always looking for ways to get the most out of our training, let's discuss our training structure, specifically aspects of your training that you feel may be different from how other practitioners train, or areas that you put extra emphasis on.
For example, I really enjoy standing strengthening postures, so I do a lot of standing in my training. I try to do three different postures every training session: one representational posture to develop overall structure, one attack method posture to develop a certain kind of force, and one low posture to emphasize leg development. If possible, I am for 45-60 minutes of standing training per session (roughly 20min per posture), and I feel it has helped me develop a sound structure and a strong root.
I will also experiment with different leg positions during the standing postures. For example, when holding Phoenix posture, I will sometimes hold the standard horse stance, sometimes hold an empty stance with all my weight on my rear leg, and often I will raise my front leg so that the top of the leg is parallel to the ground (while getting low with the back leg). These small changes allow me to get a full range of development while at the same time providing enough variation so that each sessions feels fresh.
How do you structure your training sessions? Do you do anything different or special in your training?
