"Ma bu" or "Ma bu" is the most basic step in practicing martial arts, so there are some sayings, such as "standing for three years before getting started" and "tying horses before learning to fight". "Ma bu" stance pile is named because its feet are slightly wider than its shoulders and it is in a semi-squat posture, because its posture is like riding a horse and it is as stable as a pile. Squatting well with "ma bu" or "ma bu" can strengthen the kidney and waist, strengthen tendons and qi, adjust the spirit, stabilize the footstool and have good balance ability.
It is not easy to be knocked down by people, and it can also improve the body's reaction ability. "Ma bu" is one of the basic skills before practicing martial arts. The so-called "practicing boxing without practicing" means learning the moves in the boxing routine without actually training the gravity and endurance of the whole body muscles, which will eventually become a gesture.
Extended data
In ancient times, in order to play a good horse fight, I imagined riding a horse and practicing without a horse. This is the original origin of "horse stance just look". It is to practice fighting immediately on the flat ground, so the pace must first be the same as when riding a horse, so there is a horse stance just look, which is also the origin of this name.
In immediate actual combat, the attack direction is mostly on both sides (the horse will run away from the obstacle with the horse's head in front, so the enemy will always pass by on both sides), so in order to restore the actual combat to the maximum extent, most of the traditional martial arts of Zamabu strike in the left or right direction. This is why many martial arts practitioners will face their opponents with one foot in front and one foot in the back before they start fighting.
