Closed-Eye Left-Leg Golden Rooster Stands for Over 75 Minutes

This morning, I practiced the closed-eye
Golden Rooster stance on my left leg at Drew Dog's Rocks by the Sydney
shoreline. The temperature was only 11°C, and I wore nothing more than a pair of
quick-dry summer sports pants. Facing the cold air and the dampness of dawn, I
chose to challenge both balance and concentration through single-leg standing.
I began at 06:25:09 and voluntarily concluded
at 07:40:41, completing a total duration of 1 hour 15 minutes and 32 seconds.
Throughout this period, I remained with eyes closed, supported entirely on my
left leg, and was never forced to stop by environmental or physical limits—it
was my own decision to end the practice.
Over the course of the session, I completed
412 breaths, averaging about 11 seconds per breath. My heart-rate data showed a
peak of 123 bpm, while remaining generally steady between 74 and 91 bpm. The
calm rhythm of breath and heart demonstrated that my body had entered a state of
deep stability.
The conditions were far from easy. An 11°C
seaside morning, with wind and damp chill, would normally cause the body to
stiffen rapidly. Yet under the circulation of qi, I did not feel cold; instead,
I maintained stable body temperature and energy flow. Even dressed lightly, I
was able to sustain over 75 minutes of closed-eye balance, further proving both
endurance against cold and the mastery of intention over body.
Start Time of Closed-Eye
Left-Leg Golden Rooster Stance
The closed-eye Golden Rooster stance itself
is an extremely difficult practice. According to medical and sports science
testing, the average person with eyes open can usually maintain a single-leg
stance for less than 30 seconds; once the eyes are closed, most can only last 3
to 10 seconds. Even professional athletes or those with specialized balance
training rarely exceed one minute. By comparison, my performance of 1 hour 15
minutes and 32 seconds in cold seaside conditions not only surpasses ordinary
physical capability and professional benchmarks but also stands as an empirical
breakthrough within the Extreme Martial Arts system.
The entire session was recorded in full
with a frontal high-definition video, alongside watch data documenting heart
rate, time, and temperature—forming a triple verification of evidence. This was
not merely a personal achievement but also a milestone case in the ongoing
development of Extreme Martial Arts.
From this practice, I can see that the
integration of body and mind has reached a new stage. A steady rhythm of
breathing, sustained balance, and the ability to remain in control even under
cold stress all show that my training is steadily approaching higher realms.
This time, it was not physical exhaustion that determined the end, but my
conscious decision to conclude—demonstrating self-awareness and composure in
practice.
