Yes, if he did the practice, then, he should be able to do the stand as long as he like. Apparently, he didn't practice that long or didn't do it right in the first place.

Let me clarify this. In Taji practice, the breathing coordinates with the movement; and the movement coordinates the breathing. For that said, the breathing part is considered to be Qigong(氣功). The combination of breathing and movement enhance the body strength that is considered to be neigong(內功). BTW Neigong practice is something has to be done internally to the body enhancing the function of the body. It enables the body to perform much more difficult tasks. In addition, Neigong determines the health condition of a person. If one has a tremendous body strength, it can be said that one has lots of Neigong. Hence, one may be considered to be an unordinary person.

Yes. Please correct my spelling: Change "tailed" to "tilted". Thanks!
-
This is much better. It is the correct Zhan Zhuang stance. The lower legs are not tilted as much as the previous one.
-
I know the Wing Chun practitioner do the stance like that but their feet are not as wide apart. It is called the "goat stance." Here are some of the basic stances you might want to consider for practice. https://www.risingmoontaichi.net/tai-chi-stances

If you just do Taiji, it is neigong and qigong already. It is all in one. There is no need for any preparation. It is still very awkward. Please do the correct Zhan Zhuang stance with the knees line up with the toes.
-
The breathing part is good. However, please don't do this. This is the worse stance that could putting too much stress on the knees. This is not Taiji at all. Please do the correct Zhan Zhuang stance with the knees line up with the toes.
-
Yes, you are right. It is very true.
-
Please show what it looks like.

Wuji(無極) and Taiji(太極) are very broad and have lots of collective meanings. It depends on context. We cannot narrow them down to a single meaning. To be familiar with these two terms, it would be advantageous to study the Yijing(易經).

A martial artist is an one person definition. The definition of martial arts practitioners is unanimous.

Hahaha If you have reached wuji, then, you are dead.

I didn't say a martial artist. I said martial arts practitionerS. The definition of Wuji was already existed what it is in the mind of the Taoist practitioners. I don't know why someone else wanted to reinvent the wheel?
-
Please don't discriminate the styles of Taiji. The principal of fajin is the same in all the styles. Just pay close attention in the video. When the master, at the left, moves his hands forward, he was performing Fajin.
-
However, it has to be in one position as defined by the martial arts practitioners with consistency in communication.

To learn martial arts, one must know the principles of Yijing(易經). The principle of yin/yang was from the understanding of Wuji and Taiji. If one don't get it right the first time, then, the practice will be deviated from its true meaning. One will start at the wrong foot. Things in the universe is alway started with Wuji, then to Taiji. Wuji is static and Taiji is dynamic. If one thinks that moving from Wuji is still Wuji, how wrong can one be? Acturaly, as soon one took an action from the Wuji state, it becomes the state of Taiji. One is no longer in the Wuji state. It might be too difficult for someone to change the notion from what was learnt in the first place. https://www.learnreligions.com/wuji-wu-chi-3183136

The benefit one can get from Wuji is to relax the body. Why does one want to keep the body in motion all the time?
-
Did it make your legs stronger?
-
If you know your stuff and standing still at the wuji position, then, no one will know what your next move is.
-
That is correct. You start from the initial state at zero which is wuji. Whatever you do, finally, you will come to a stop and return to the original state of wuji. In other words, you went back to the state of stillness.
-
I assume that you meant at the end of exercises, you come to the Wuji position of stillness. Yes, at the end of the exercise, all practitioners come to a standing still. BTW They don't call it Wuji for nothing.
-
Looks like you've never learnt what wuji(無極) meant. FYI It means stillness to a point of infinity. How much more still can one be at this point?
-
無極(Wuji) is void to the extreme. Nothing should be performed but stillness. If a practitioner ask you to do this and that at a Wuji position, sorry to say! You are not at the state of Wuij.

Here it is Wuji https://wujiquest.substack.com/p/wuji-the-posture-basics
