Learn how to do a empty stance ( in chinese: Xu Bu ). This video shows a right empty stance ( stand on the right leg, left leg is empty ). Start standing on the right leg and extend the left leg about 1 ft in front of your right foot. Then squat down on the right leg and let the left leg slide forward. the left toe touches the floor, but doesn't carry any of the weight. The heel of the right foot must stay on the floor ( stretch your calf musscles if this is too hard for you ). Try to squat down until the thigh of the right leg is horizontal and keep your upper bodz as upright as possible. There is a detailed animated tutorial for this stace - goto FM - Wushu.
