  A Question on Hand Height in Standing or Zhan Zhuang

  Posted by Frances Phelps on November 22, 2024 at 3:41 pm

  A question from a user:

  “Hands a little bellow the collar bone correct? i have been getting conflicting advice on the arms height.”

  Answer from Stephan Berwick:

  Generally for beginners, hands are in front of the dan tian (3 fingers below the belly button). Once a person can comfortably hold that position for 5-10 minutes, the arms are raised to chest height, not above the collarbone, with the shoulders and elbows relaxed. Elbows are below shoulders.
