[Extreme Martial Arts] Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg in Strong Wind for 45 Minutes
Training Summary (August 30, 2025, Sydney Time)
I. Weather and Environment
This morning, the temperature by the sea was about 10°C, at an altitude of approximately 29 meters. The windbag was severely damaged and continuously inflated; based on the damage pattern of the fabric and the amplitude of the swaying, the average wind speed was estimated to be 5–7 meters per second (18–25 km/h), with gusts significantly stronger. The smart watch indicated a temperature of 11°C, but the perceived temperature was around 8°C. This training environment was characterized by low temperatures and high wind pressure, with wind resistance significantly affecting balance.
II. Training Process
Phase One: Eyes Closed Right Foot Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg
Today, no dynamic warm-up with Tai Chi or sword was performed; we directly entered static practice of the Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg.
Phase Two: Eyes Closed Right Foot Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg
Duration was approximately 23 minutes, remaining completely still, with both hands holding a ball, and breathing maintained in a deep and slow state. Due to wind interference affecting balance, it ultimately ended due to a lateral wind impact causing loss of balance.
Phase Three: Eyes Closed Left Foot Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg
Time interval from 06:34:51 to 07:20:03 (totaling 45 minutes and 12 seconds), with complete video recording, including time, date, GPS coordinates, and filming information. Throughout the process, deep stillness was maintained, heart rate stable, and breathing even. Balance adjustments were precise under gusts, with heart rate briefly rising to 137 bpm.
III. Training Data
Item Data
Right Foot Eyes Closed Stand 23 minutes
Left Foot Eyes Closed Stand 45 minutes 12 seconds
Total Breaths (Left Foot) 235 times
Average Breath Duration Approximately 11 seconds/time ≈ 11.54 seconds/time (2712 seconds ÷ 235 times)
Average Heart Rate (Left Foot) Approximately 106 bpm ≈ 110 bpm
Maximum Heart Rate (Left Foot) 126 bpm, peaking at 137 bpm during gusts
Status: Ended naturally due to loss of balance from wind disturbance, remained stable throughout, requiring slight core adjustments during gusts, but no fatigue felt.
IV. Sensation and Detail Analysis
Balance and Control
Today's training faced significantly increased environmental difficulty, especially in the eyes-closed state, where continuous wind impact required the vestibular system and core muscles to constantly adjust micro-balance. The right foot session ended after about 23 minutes due to loss of balance from gusts, while the left foot successfully completed over 45 minutes after withstanding multiple wind disturbances.
Breathing and Heart Rate
Breathing maintained a slow frequency rhythm, averaging about 11.5 seconds per breath, indicating that slow breathing has become a natural state. The brief increase in heart rate only occurred during gust impacts, representing a physiological response to balance adjustments, rather than a lack of physical fitness or rhythm disturbance.
Qi and Blood Circulation and Heat Generation
Under low temperatures and strong winds, the circulation of qi and blood remained smooth. After about 10 minutes, body temperature noticeably increased, and after about 15 minutes, fine sweat began to emerge. Although in a 10°C environment, internal circulation kept hands and feet warm, indicating efficient blood circulation and bone marrow perfusion.
V. Difficulty Comparison
No Wind or Light Wind Environment
Primarily tests the combination of static balance and slow breathing, belonging to a finely controlled state.
Strong Wind Environment
Balance nerves must respond to dynamic interference, requiring comprehensive coordination of core strength, ankle stability, and neural response speed, representing a high-level version of static training. This state is not only static practice but also simulates deep balance training under real combat scenarios.
VI. Training Intensity Assessment
Today's training lasted approximately 68 minutes of eyes-closed Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg (23 minutes on the right foot + 45 minutes on the left foot), remaining completely still, with the load operating entirely within a framework of balanced state. Considering the challenges of low temperatures and strong winds, the training difficulty and intensity were significantly higher than on windless days, with heart rate fluctuating but consistently maintained within a safe range, stable and efficient.
Intensity Level: High-Intensity Static Balance Training.
Characterized by maintaining stability under high external pressure conditions, with deep coordination of body and mind, suitable for consolidating slow breathing, enhancing core strength, activating bone marrow, and improving the overall microcirculation system.
VII. Summary
Today's training was a high-difficulty combat version under harsh conditions. Strong winds and low temperatures significantly increased the stability challenge of the eyes-closed Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg, yet the body maintained a high level of stability and endurance under strong interference. The natural synchronization of heart rate, breathing, and balance reflects the profound foundation formed through long-term practice. The total duration of static training approached 1 hour under high load conditions, fully validating the efficient circulation and stable control capabilities accumulated through extended training, pushing the depth of balance to a higher level on a solid foundation.
