how to play cajon？
The answer is quite simple: in a relaxed, comfortable way.

You should sit with a pretty much straight back.
You may occasionally need to lean forward to access other parts of the cajon (such as the sides) for special tones, but that should be for a minority of the time.
Both feet should rest flat on the floor
with your legs bent at right-angles or just over. The exact amount of bend depends on the length of your legs. Knees should be well spread to allow access to the front face of the cajon. An angle of between 90-degrees & 120-degrees at the groin should allow access to the tapa face & also allow access to the sides for click strokes.
Your buttocks should be pretty much in line with the rear face
of the cajon, although again, depending on anatomy they may protrude beyond. Avoid sitting too far forward as this will restrict the playing area available to you at the front. Avoid sitting too far back as this can extend the centre of gravity beyond the rear of the cajon & make it unstable (you are likely to tip backwards).
Relax. Relax. Relax!
Many players, especially drumkit players seem to have an inherent tension in their arms & wrists. This may be because they are used to hitting hard, creating tension in their playing using tension in their body or simply something they hadn't realised they are doing. Tension will reduce speed, impede accuracy & timing & overall reduce stamina. The cajon does not need to be thumped or played hard to create a sound. In fact hitting hard may choke-up the sound & give poorer quality tones.
As you play the cajon, you may need to break most of these rules on occasions, for example, if you're twisting round to play the rear face of the instrument. However, continued breaking of these rules will not only lead to poor sound but chronic health issues that could ultimately affect your playing & wider life.
