It is not really not related to MA. I post it here since I didn't find any place better.
Any of you do weight training? In specific, do any of you do an isometric contraction weight training?; this is where you exert all your strenght against an immovable object.

No not really or at least not for strength training purposes. But it sounds interesting.
We have stretching exercises that we exert pressure against walls and floors.
We do forms with isometric tension in order to build muscular strength.

Isometric exercises SHOULD be done in every martial arts training, in some systems it fills a leading role. Please think about "Standing Stake" exercises. Everything is it and the enemy is both the gravity power as well as the monkey in our head. Once you can keep that calm and you realize that it isn't that hard at all. Even in martial systems there are parts - for instance around the wrist - that stays isometric for a longer time. In my opinion it is very good, as well as the hold- relax stretching skills. Aspects I do a lot in rehabilitation -land. Warm regards, Evert.

The exercise ¨C with the funny picture of Jacky Chan ¨C is a skill that practice many aspects in the body. Isometric strength is emphasized, which increase the strength, quite a bit. Jacky¡¯s facial expression shows clearly the jumping of the ¡°Monkey¡±, but we also notice a solid rooting power, unless the fact that (it seems) that his mind is hyperactive. I am not making any advertisement about any style, because it might seem all coincidence. Believe me, it is not. ¡°Maintenance of a single posture for long periods was an established part of Siu lam Kuen. It was especially popular in Hung Kuen of Nam Siu lam Kuen. A system also practiced by the Tien Ti Hui (Heaven & Earth society). The ¡°secret Exposition on Siu Lam Kuen¡±( a document expounding the practice of old Hung style Siu lam Kuen and Hei Kung practiced at the turn of 1900) calls such an exercise Dei thingy [±PµØ]. Essentially a low squatting skioll, supposed to be held 1 or two hours. The secret exposition¡± list three forms, through they differ only in the distance and angle of the feet. Attached two postures as done in our branch, which I can recommend to practice frequently. It emphasized rooting and so ¡°thingy Geng¡± [±P„Å], rooting power. A good root is necessary for stability and transmission of energy. I can make a very long story, but this is not my intention. We will see what questions will enter the surface. The horse stance position is also known as ¡®Chin Gan Jui¡¯ [ǧ½ï‰‹] which means a thousand pounds sinking. The key to success must be found in the Yi. Your entire Yi is straight down the bricks into the earth. If your Yi is scattered your feet will move. Have a nice experience/ practice, Evert
