double weighted

[Kung Fu Wang]

People talk about "double weighted" sometime. Are all horse stance applications "double weighted"?

Are these videos "double weighted" by your definition? Your thought?

There are several interpretations of what "double weighted" means. The one that makes most sense to me is this:

Double weighted is a state where the balance of a person is broken in such a way that the person cannot move effectively without taking a step (a fraction of the body is supporting all the bodyweight, so it's supporting "twice" the load it would naturally hold).

The positions in your videos don't look double weighted to me.
