Clenching Fists with Fierce Eyes to Boost Strength

Why It Works? Science + Simple Analogies

1. Muscle Strength & Endurance

Isometric Training: Holding the punch position (like a plank variation) builds arm, core, and leg strength.

Functional Power: Horse stance improves balance and stability (useful for lifting objects or climbing stairs).

2. Liver Energy & Stress Relief

Chinese Medicine:

The liver is linked to anger; fierce eyes and fists release stagnant energy (ideal for stress or irritability).

Stimulates the liver meridian (energy pathway from feet to chest).

Western Science:

Deep breathing during punches increases oxygen, lowering cortisol.

Intense gaze briefly activates the sympathetic nervous system (like athletes’ "game face" training).

3. Energy Focus & Mind-Body Connection

Grounding Energy: Horse stance directs energy to the lower body (like martial arts "rooting").

Visual Focus: Sharpens hand-eye coordination (similar to archery or golf target practice).

4. Acupressure Benefits

Clenching fists presses the Laogong acupoint (center of palms), boosting circulation (like squeezing a stress ball).
