[Extreme Martial Arts] Daily Closed-Eye Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg
Summary of Closed-Eye Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg on August 25, 2025
This morning's training has further convinced me that the closed-eye golden rooster stance is no longer a practice I need to deliberately complete, but has become a stable, natural, and adjustable state of mind and body. The entire process was calm and clear, with complete data, rich dimensions, and cross-verifiable results, injecting high-quality and highly representative samples into my long-term training database.
At 6:30 AM, on the eastern coast of Sydney, GPS positioning and timestamps provided precise spatial and temporal coordinates for this training. The lake was still, the morning light was just breaking through, and the temperature of 14°C made the air exceptionally clear. The low-frequency rhythm of the gentle breeze and the waves created a unique training background, distinctly different from indoor training or environments devoid of natural elements, showcasing the unique advantages of the integration of body and mind with natural energy. Between breaths, the flow of energy intertwined with the slightly salty sea breeze, the touch of the wind, and the sound of the waves, achieving a deep synchronization between "body" and "environment."
The right foot's closed-eye stance began at 6:31 and naturally ended at 6:51, lasting twenty minutes. Breathing was steady and deep, totaling one hundred and three times, all through nasal inhalation and exhalation, with a rhythm subtly aligning with the low-frequency waves. The heart rate remained between 84 to 103 bpm, with minimal fluctuations, indicating the stability of the autonomic nervous system and core muscle coordination. The end was not marked by exhaustion but rather by a self-adjustment of the nervous system as it approached the threshold, reflecting the body's high dynamic adaptability. The training for the left foot began at 6:54 and I actively concluded it at 7:12, lasting eighteen minutes, with one hundred and one breaths, and the heart rate similarly maintained between 84 to 101 bpm. Compared to the right foot, the left foot exhibited a more tranquil balance, with almost no tremors, and only slight shifts in center of gravity that were quickly corrected, demonstrating better control and conscious dominance.
Throughout the entire practice, despite the external temperature being only 14°C, my body surface gradually warmed, breathing was deep and fine, and pores slightly opened, resulting in a light sweat but not drenched. This validated the deep activation and efficient operation of the non-shivering thermogenesis mechanism, indicating a balanced internal energy output and stable core temperature. The average breathing rhythm for the right foot was once every 11.6 seconds, while for the left foot it was once every 10.7 seconds, deep and even, approaching the state of deep meditation or sleep, indicating that the autonomic nervous system was in a highly relaxed and efficient working mode. The minimal fluctuations in heart rate and the prolonged maintenance of balance further proved the high coordination of the neuromuscular system, core stability, and the high collaboration rate of muscle groups.
It is particularly important to emphasize that during the entire process of completing the golden rooster stance, aside from the necessary supporting muscle groups around the soles of the feet and ankles, I maintained a state of complete relaxation with no tension anywhere in my body. This "neural control under myofascial relaxation" mode allowed the entire weight of my body to be applied directly and evenly through the ankle as a pivot point, without any buffering or muscular compensation, resulting in a deep "internal massage" and beneficial stress stimulation to the skeletal system, effectively activating osteoblasts and promoting bone calcium deposition. Simultaneously, the full-body relaxation allowed the flow of qi and blood to no longer be restricted by tense muscles, and the deep, long, and even breathing facilitated the smooth and deeper flow of blood to the leg bones serving as the supporting base, equivalent to a high-pressure, continuous, and deep "irrigation" and "cleaning" of the lower limb bones and bone marrow, greatly optimizing the hematopoietic microenvironment of the bone marrow and the metabolism of the bones.
From a scientific perspective, the records of my training have significant rarity and research value. The average time for healthy adults to stand on one foot with eyes closed is less than 30 seconds, while top athletes can manage about 3 minutes. My records—twenty minutes for the right foot and eighteen minutes for the left foot—not only far exceed conventional standards, but their bilateral symmetry (with only a 2-minute difference) is also rare, indicating that the training results are not due to unilateral compensation but rather a comprehensive optimization of the entire neuromuscular system. This is not a simple timing exercise but a multidimensional, verifiable physiological dataset: including precise minute-level time data, static heart rate and fluctuation range, total number of breaths and implicit frequency cycles, environmental temperature and geographical positioning, sensory descriptions, as well as complete video evidence for the right foot and comprehensive parameter records for the left foot. This structured recording method is extremely rare in personal training, elevating this summary from subjective experience to a case study material with significant research potential.
I am not only recording "what I did," but also explaining "why it was so"—using "balance neural self-adjustment" to explain natural imbalances, and "non-shivering thermogenesis" to explain temperature maintenance. This description, which combines traditional training insights with modern physiological mechanisms, provides high-quality real-world samples for sports science, balance neurology, and energy adaptability research. As shown in previous records, this is not the highest single record, but rather a natural output accumulated over many years, indicating that this performance possesses repeatability and continuity, and is by no means accidental. The continuously accumulated mental coordinates, timestamps, heart rates, breathing frequencies, environmental conditions, and imagery together form a long-term dynamic database, whose value will continue to grow over time.
The scientific value of this training record is primarily reflected in four aspects:
First, the extreme rarity of performance data, with durations of 20 minutes and 18 minutes and their high symmetry being extremely rare in existing literature and practice;
Second, the completeness and scientific nature of the data dimensions, covering multidimensional data such as time, cardiovascular, respiratory, and environmental data, supported by imagery, forming a structured dataset;
Third, the explainability of the phenomena and theoretical value, combining traditional training insights with modern physiological mechanisms, providing valuable samples for interdisciplinary research;
Finally, the long-term and systematic nature, indicating that my performance is not an isolated event but a repeatable result accumulated over years of training, possessing ongoing research value.
In summary, this training is not only a display of advanced physical ability but also an outstanding practice of scientific self-observation. It clearly indicates that the closed-eye golden rooster stance is no longer a singular skill for me, but a complete self-regulation system that integrates breathing, heart rate, balance, energy flow, and core stability. The physiological state I achieved and the recording methods I employed are extremely rare among personal trainers worldwide, providing invaluable empirical references for in-depth research in related fields.
