Knees in or out for horse stance? - 11/07/05 07:15 PM
Most kung fu systems involve a horse stance where the feet are spread and pointed forward, the back straight and the knees pushed outwards towards the toes. Wuzuquan, however (and maybe some other systems, I don't know), uses a different varient where the knees are pushed together so "it's like you're holding a basketball between your knees and a pencil between your buttocks."
What's the idea of pushing the knees in instead of out? Does it target different muscles? Does it reduce stress on the knees?
