Asian Squat
This might be news to people who haven't spent much time in China before, but Chinese people LOVE to squat. You can find them lined up in squat formation almost anywhere where waiting is possible. A business man in a suit with briefcase, squatting by the side of a street is not an uncommon sight by any means. As the video indicates, this position is no squat in the park. I've tried emulating it since my last visit to China, and I can only get a relatively stable stance that can last me about 5 min. Nothing like the true squat masters who can do it for hours on end. Well, either way, not sure if this is something I want to encourage... there's just no way to look good while squatting. In fact, you'd look kinda crappy (pun intended).
Anyways, click on link below and learn the squat for yourself...
