It hurts for me as well. You are not the only one. Although I do weigh a lot.

i tried doing that a while back...wish i could have done it as a young kid cuz it hurts like a mofo (& i thought doing Winterguard was hard enough)...im more used to sitting Indian style anyway

It takes a lot of practice. I did it until I could sit that way longer than most japanese I knew. After returning to the states and then buying a sofa It has become difficult again,

O_o am I the only one with no martial arts experience prsn here who doesnt find it difficult to sit in the particular position that were talking about??? I guess I'm weird.....

You're not wierd. I lived in Japan, so sat that way often. When I used to go to a dojo people thought they were sitting seiza, but they really weren't. Most people don't know how to do it properly (yes there is a right and wrong way, and seiza translated literally means proper or correct sitting) and even Japanese people will become uncomfortable and legs will fall asleep.

I remember time when I liked siting like that. After 3 months I could sit in that position almost an hour, but then there was a new problem... standing up and walking.

No, im very used to sitting like that. Sometimes 30 mins at a time.. though admittedly the blood supply to the legs diminishes after 10.

It can be uncomfortable, but not entirely painful... Because, after awhile, one's legs tend to go numb.

haha, I've never tried.
But i'm a weakling, I'd get bad pins and needles and then fall to the floor.

i have tried sitting on my ankles many times, but it was always in vain. sitting like that hurts like HELL! I wish that i could find an easier way to do it.
