In todays Steemit Kung Fu lesson you will be learning the Rooster Stance. With this being the 4th lesson I hope you have been practicing lessons 1-3.
Jin Ji Du Li （金雞獨立）
Jin Ji Du Li, translated as “golden rooster stands on one leg,” is popularly known as the crane stance, used heavily in karate.
It is formed by raising one knee to its maximum height. The facing can be either to the front or the side, relative to the opponent.
As with karate, Jin Ji Du Li is used as a platform for frontal kicks, as well as side kicks. It is also frequently employed defensively
to deflect low to middle height kicks. Lastly, it is used in Northern styles for Tiao Bu (“jump step”) and Dan Tiao (“single-jump”),
two techniques of movement for advance or retreat. It is also known as the crane stance in many martial arts.
The Rooster Stance is the 3rd stance I teach my students. In the below videos you will learn the stance as well as the Rooster Stance Drill
I teach my students.
Be sure to practice often to improve your balance and Kung Fu skill.
I hope you enjoyed todays lesson, be sure to follow along with my lessons to improve your Kung Fu skills.

Kung fu is something I know very little about. The first picture does remind me of the karate kid but I know it is quite different than this. Would kung fu be relevant to the UFC? There are many just jitsu and muay Thai fighters, but I cannot recall a fighter who was versed well in kung fu in the UFC who was successful. Maybe it is not a martial art suited for this sport?

While there are some Kung Fu practitioners that have competed in the UFC it is not common. Kung Fu is a traditional martial art. It is used to harden the body, mind and spirit. The style I teach is Northern Shaolin. Reference this for more info, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Shaolin_(martial_art)

So more of an exercise that can also be used to combat than a purely combative martial art?

Yes it's more of a life long art. It's is also a very dangerous art when executed correctly. ☻
