在步法里還有獨立步，相對于弓箭步和虛實步，獨立步要容易，具體要求是單腿站立，膝蓋微曲，腳尖外展45度，另外一條腿提起，微微高過胯的位置，小腿內(nèi)收，腳尖微微下繃，膝蓋朝前，圖1。

仆步：仆步是比較難做的步法, 在做仆步的時候，曲腿一定要與腳尖相向，切不可里撇, 前腿自然伸直，腳尖朝前. 做仆步時，不強求架勢過低，但一定要做到要領(lǐng)，保持氣沉丹田，圖2，圖3。如果腿上功夫稍差，架勢過低不容易做到要領(lǐng)，并且影響到下個動作的銜接。

常見問題

1. 做仆步的時候，我的上身朝哪個方向？

仆步時，上身稍向前傾，主體下沉，切勿撅臀部。

2. 仆步以后，總感覺接續(xù)下個動作的時候比較吃力，比如從“單鞭下勢”轉(zhuǎn)到“金雞獨立”，為什么？

主要原因是做“單鞭”時，步伐過大，往往是為了能把“單鞭下勢”做好，有意把步子調(diào)整得比平時弓箭步大，這樣就影響到下一個的“金雞獨立”。

Included in the Footwork is anotherstance called One LegStanding Stance or Du Li. The requirements of this stanceare: Stand on one leg with the standing leg's kneeslightly bent so asnot to lock the joint. The standing leg is turned out 45 degrees. The raised leg lifts up withthe knee bent. The knee points in theforwarddirection and the toes are pointed downward. The knee is lifteduntil the thigh is at least parallel to the ground,slightly higher is better. Thelower leg and foot curve slightly inward forminga ward off shape. See Figure1.

Another stance is the Down Stance orPu Bu. The knee of the bentback leg must stay in alignment with the back toedirection. The front leg keeps naturally straight withthe toes alignedwith the forward direction. Be sure to follow the principleswhen lowering intothis stance so that the Qi can sink down. The transition to the nextmovement can onlybe accomplished when the correct alignment is maintained. See Figures 2 and 3.
