Expert village ? This will be pretty poor, this is surely not a real shaolin. Shaolins dont talk so much like vacuum cleaner home sellers. And what is this good for? Maybe when you are bored and want to invest many hours to train something that wouldnt even help you in a real fight. Its the same as doing 100 push ups. Its good, but for what,?
Hit my boot men,,, ohh yyeaaaahh
only a couple hundred times…
this training was ifented by hung gar warrioirs because in hung gar you have verry few techniques so their arms must be as hard as steel lol
@Ravenstalk Seriously,your arm or what so ever will be as hard as steel/iron as the name suggest.
Real iron palm isn’t traned on a pillow. in real iron palm you pretty much beats your hands bloody.
you doesn’t do it for “100 times”. you do it for 2 hours a day and you hit a tree or a wall with only a blanket protecting your hand/fists. Too get a hard skeleton you must pretty much hurt yourself. bone-hardening can only happen if the bones actually get hurt and cracked. put a blanket on hes blocks and hit and you got more realistic iron palm. hitting that pillow wont make your fists harder

@andiders i hope you don’t do that..it would leave a you cripple in a year or so. initially training starts with sand bags or thick stacks or paper and then you gradually move on to harder material longer hours and stronger strikes.
@RhadeConstantine
No. you start hard. Otherwise you’ll just harden the skin, too harden the bone you’ll have too damage it, because the body always harden damages harder then it originally was in case of future damages.
too start with sandbags and papers is just a waste of time. Ask the real shaolin monks. they start with hitting a wall. always as hard as possible. you’ll make your bone harder and your hits stronger.
@andiders i don’t want to contradict you but first they practise on buckets of sand then sand bags. then stacks of paper on walls and then finally the wall. i agree that damaging the bone is what causes the calcium deposition but after a certain age it causes a lot of trouble. too much damage will weaken your bones too little won’t cause much hardening. again i really hope you start of with semi hard stuff and then move on to harder material. ive heard that its usually sand to gravel to steel.
@RhadeConstantine
it will only weaken your bones if you damage it too much. when they’re damage you let them heal. But too start on paper etc is really a waste of time. all you do is too raise your own pain limit if you have a low one. i know some start simple, but thats just unnecessary.
@andiders kk buddy. though i think to bash your hand’s against steel would be too much damage and starting on a phone directory is good enough too.that or a sandbag.. anyway stay safe.
@RhadeConstantine
whne you train your head you should start with planks. hitting your head in the wall is stupid yes. thats why planks are good, instead of giving you concusions etc they’ll break and the skeleton will still get harden enough too harden.
@andiders kk buddy. take care practise safe.
Very informative. Thank you.
andiders you got no clue what you’re talking abut. If someone decided to follow your advice they would really hurt themselves. The palm has energy points that directly link to the internal organs. Do not shock the palm. You don’t have to crack or hurt bones for them to get stronger. You don’t have to hurt yourself and you don’t hit yourself in “real iron palm”. Plus there is an important liniment known as jow it brings qi to the hands and helps the bones become strong.
oh yeah and you should always start with the left hand
oh yeah before i forget one more thing. There is another video that comes up when you google bruce when where he tears a phone book, he breaks some bricks and snaps metal bars on his heads. He makes mention that he started out hitting different sand materials. I do practice kung fu and I do train iron palm and iron body but Im not here to teach people to do it. I just dont want somebody to get hurt following bad advice.
I love the way he says “Do it a couple hundred times.” so casually. It makes me feel like if I did it I wouldn’t be all sore and tired. Man I’m out of shape. /cry
@Ravenstalk LOL I Like your Sarcasm of how exercise doesnt do anything
@REYESTHEUSED hm, what about a bag?
rsrs kung fu é lenda, sobe no vale tudo pra ve se n é
What is the material he is using?
just a couple of hundred times…hehehe
damn his horse stance is strong. why is it some people teach to do wide and some closer together, i was taugh closer together i think its harder
