Why You Can't Asian Squat (And the Benefits You're Missing)

What if right knee had surgery?

Thanks!

It is called the Asian Squat because mostly people from Asia or the Shemite territory do it, and some Africans too. Shem maintained his pure human blood, unlike his brothers Japhet (west/europeans) and Ham(africans) who intermarried with the bloodline(DNA) of Cain (serpent's son). Thus, their hamstring or leg muscles became short because of the curse to the serpent. This may seem crazy, but it's a fact. Google Cain in Europe!

I can do an Asian squat but my heals lift off the ground. I can stay in this position for a long time but I am not stable because my feet are not flat on the ground.

whats so asian about this squat. it looks like normal squat. I dont get it.

In my part of the world, we call it the Slavic Squat
Slavic-Asian connections through squating 🤌

my sibling was totally baffled when we were hiking and i took a rest in the asian squat position. they thought literally only asians could do it 😂😅

Thanks!

Thanks

I started Asian Squat in 1981, during my 1st trip to Philippines. Thank you for the reminder. I’m of Scot-Irish descent.

Have you heard anyone say, "Mom please do not squat"!! Why? Having the ability to squat is the best exercise in the world. A lifetime of sitting is the cause of muscles to atrophy. Stretch everyday.

Good video--thanks. Have been working on my Asian Squat for six months with good results. I can hold it relaxed and stable for several minutes, though it eventually becomes uncomfortable. I can now drop into it anytime without preliminary stretching. Also, I've found when stretching, I reach maximal extensions far more quickly and easily now.

Your "back parallel to floor" stretch is wonderful for quick relief of back stiffness and soreness. Wish I'd learned that one years ago.

y'all chinese people stop calling yourself asian, asian is very large, it is arabian squat too, it is slavic squat too even medieval european squatted to take a shit

What about men that have large calves from leg presses at the gym, how can we get around this problem?

We used to use this type of squat some decades ago in my part of Europe. People used to wait busses, while resting on that position. We have never even called it Asian either, it has another nickname. However it seems to have become embarrassing over time.

In England we call this the... Squat.

In India every morning we practice asian squat

so... i've been doing this for a while, sorta... i get deep down into the squat at that, but my feet arent flat like yours... heels up a bit, then when i try to bring the heels to touch i naturally start to loose balance and fall/roll back -__- i will be practicing!!

I am from America, now living in China as a Kindergarten teacher for the last 5 years. One day I woke up and realized I can do this squat thanks to my 3-year olds...always squatting down to talk to them and picking them up and sitting in the short chairs. It's incredible.

My buddy is a super white, Midwestern carpenter. He never uses a chair when he comes over. Blows my mind every time.

I'm white and grew up in the USA, and I had no idea that this was called an "Asian squat" nor did I ever know that there are people who can't do this. I legit thought everyone knew how to sit this way.

I would say this is great content, i would say you are great creator but every body know this is slavic squat

"Asian squat"
Slavs: am I a joke to you?

Have you pooped in the street today?

As soon as I get my ankle out of the cast--I'm going to start working on this!
I'm 68, and am distressed and humiliated by the difficulty that I have nowadays getting in and out of canoes and kayaks!
I distinctly remember being able to sit cross legged on the ground and rise easily and gracefully up to a standing position before uncrossing my legs. I don't need to be able to do that again--but accomplishing the Asian squat would be a huge boon!

Hi, thanks for all your great tips and information. I just wanted to ask a quick question. I can get into this position and stay there, but I find it only works if I have about a 1/2 inch board to rest my heels on. Is this okay until I improve doing it without using the board?

Your position excites me a lot dude

I can do it but it feels like im losing circulation to my lower legs

They squat in Russia too.

I'm not asian and this is gonna be embarrassing to say but I learned to comfortably deep squat cause it's the position that helps me the most with bowel movements 😐😐😐 then I found out it was trending on tiktok and I was like damnnn ok that's my poop position

My swat is balanced on the balls of the feet. It will be interesting to see if i can switch

Western gal here, just gave it a go. Did pretty well, I just need better posture in my upper back/shoulders.

I have something of an advantage though as I did fencing to a high-level in my youth, did a lot for lowerbody strength/flexibility

I’ve always done this…well, since I started gardening. I also spend most of my sitting time sitting cross-legged. Now that I have arthritis in my knees, the squatting isn’t as comfortable.

Slav squat*

Its literally a natural human position calling it an Asian squat is like calling a normal jump the American jump its stupid

I was honestly extremely surprised I can easily do this immediately and I am a 52 year old female with 2 major back surgeries (1st in early 30's & 2nd in my 40's).
I watched your video 2 days ago and immediately tried it and can go all the way down and stand straight up with no extra assistance for 10 reps easy.
I don't work out at the gym anymore and work 40 hours a week in a office.....so again I am pleasantly surprised I can do this move and go all the way down and back up several times without grabbing on for help!!!
Now it's my favorite exercise!

Thanks,

Asian person adopted by a white family, and i could not do an asian squat at all. I had to train to learn the behavior haha.

Ya I can.. Go away ..

This squat is universal throughout all ancient cultures. In Africa (where im from) this squat is done mostly by people (men) in rural areas who always seem to be fitter and healthier than their city dwelling cousins

bla bla .. ethnic background .. erm huh? every child uses this position.

We (all ethnics) just unlearn this over time, cause of all the chair, seats etc. muscles shorten if they are not needed.
So if repeated regulary .. guess what?

Watching this video feeling like I should be squatting, but I’m sitting on my couch… aka “American Squat”.

I can do this easily, but my heels come up. Is that cheating?

I don't have no problem when I went camping ..

I was able to do it for 2 minutes 30 seconds before falling. Is that good?

Why called asian all africa squat the same..

Thank you you helping teach my Asian half how to be more Asian.
