I’ve never especially noted differences of posture with the Japanese… and nothing’s really jumping out at me from these posed models as significant either.
What difference is Sky talking about?
The differences tend to be subtle. Slightly straighter posture, a looseness in the shoulders, you see these sorts of things with career military personnel as well. I doubt poser is set up to show the variations.
I am aware of a difference in walking strides between Westerners and East Asians. The latter tend to “walk from the hips”, as though they were sliding along a pole through a hole in the middle of their waist. Westerners tend to bounce a bit with their walking stride, so if you saw one of each walking beside each other from a distance, the Westerner’s head would bounce up and down as he walked, while the Asian’s would remain level.
People who have trained in martial arts extensively tend to develop this “level stride” as well. It drew comments from not a few Japanese people around me when I walked together with a group of (mostly USA) exchange students; I was the only one who didn’t “bounce”, and “walked like a Japanese person).
(They tend to think the bouncing looks silly).
