Or are you putting a stringent set of constraints on what you call an Asian Squat? Perhaps for those that can't they simply aren't use to it and are out of shape. So like any other thing, it'll take practice. Though as I get older, there is becoming a bigger impact to my knees when stay squatted for a long time.
