马步，中国武术名词。是坐马与步法之统称。坐马是中国武术门派所采用的基本站桩功力训练。

通过练习「坐马」，又称「站桩」主要是为了调节“精、气、神”，完成对气血的调节、精神的修养的训练,锻炼对意念和意识的控制。在蹲马步的时候，常常要求要凝神静气，要呼吸自然，要蹲得深、平、稳，以练习喉、胸、肾等器官，并使腹部肌肉缩进，腿步肌肉紧张，以图达到全身性的综合训练。这种桩功，由于是长时间的静功，所以对于人体全身各器官是很好的锻炼，通过这样的锻炼能够有效的提升在剧烈运动时人体的反应能力。

虽然各个门派的坐马站桩姿势，表面上好像差不多的，但基本动作和练习上要求都是不同的。

The Horse Stance (sometimes called Horse Riding Stance) is an important posture in Asian martial arts and takes its name from the position assumed when riding a horse. It is called mǎbù (马步) in Chinese, kiba-dachi(骑马立ち) in Japanese, kuda-kuda or kekuda in Malay and Indonesian, and juchum seogi (주춤 서기) or annun seogi (lit. sitting stance) in Korean. This stance can not only be integrated into fighting but also during exercises and forms. It is most commonly used for practicing punches or to strengthen the legs and back.
