This guy named Brian Gray..
How good is he or how well does he know this almost impossible Iron Palm.

Does he have any good evidence or pictures? Videos? Anything?

What I can recommend as far as training and instruction comes form my teacher. I first started with iron palm 20 years ago. It has worked for me. Here is a link to an article printed in the last Wing Lam catalog:

Does anyone train in Iron Palm? If you do, what form of training do you do and who is your Sifu. I train under Sifu John Newberry, Hes a Master of Iron Palm skills under the Iron Palm International Org. He has some cool photos at www.prayingmantiskungfu.com. (http://www.prayingmantiskungfu.com.) He trains useing the bag method and makes his own kickass dit-da-jow.

We do basic iron palm in class.
we work on palms backs of hands against backs of hands
A drill that works on forearms and lower legs(its a drill done in pairs)

I realised that class work isnt enough on its own so i asked my sifu about training at home and he's going to set up a private home lesson for me to learn bag methods (build up to mungbean filled bags). Hes keen to teach because it does take time to develope iron palm and he says people tend to over train it to compensate for starting it late in their training (eg 500 strikes palm/backhand/knifehand)which does more bad than good. He reckons on about a year to notice a great difference. i ve used da jit dow in class and was a bit sceptical,( i'm from a biology background),but it does seem to prevent bruising and has got some anesethetic properties.

I cant get your link to work and i'm keen to find out more on iron palm.
Any suggestions greatfully accepted :)

I am not training in the Iron Palm as of yet , it's kept pretty secretive at our school. I am not shure but I believe it is taught as you make your move from Assisstant Instructor to Instructor. There are two types of typical Iron Palm Skills, those are internal and external , the external takes a shorter time to acheive, however it has no healing possibilities like the internal method offers.
E-Mail me at tenguangelhunter@aol.com and I will be very happy to give you the link to our school , however I don't wish to post it for the many without permission from my Sifu.

I performed a search and got a lot of hits on Iron Palm. Most of these threads where in the internal MA section though, and didn't really go over the basics. I have read a bit on Iron Palm training, basically, I'll outline what I have read and what I think and hopefully those of more experience can add or correct me.

What I have read is that Iron Palm training is recommended to pretty much anyone in training above the age of about 10 years old. It is designed to turn your hands into weapons, ie. stronger, more solid hands which are more damaging. You start out with a beginner bag containing beans, until they are crushed powder (3-6 months), then move on to an intermediate bag. Then obviously to an advanced bag and after a couple years of training every day, you only need to train a couple times a week to maintain your hand strength.

I also read that after each session you rub your hands for about 5 minutes using a mixture of dit dot jow which reduces bruising and helps tighten the skin.

The training itself is done from horse, and left and right bow stance, change stances as needed. The strikes are: palm strike, then backhand strike, followed by a chop or knife hand, then a tiger claw (some kind of claw, may have misread). The strikes are performed in that order for about 5-10 minutes the first little while then you keep going until you can continue for approximately 45 minutes to an hour and switch bags once the beans are dust.

It is discussed as an external and internal form of training. The article didn't say that only advanced students should train in iron palm, so I wonder if you can train almost exclusively external or what. If any of you could correct where I'm mistaken or add some info that would be great. Thanks.

there is alot more to it than that. Applying the Tiet Da Jow alone requires specific technique, not simply rubbing it in like cologne. You are not just "hardening" your hand, but also learning to develop more power in your strikes, and the hand is getting strengthened accordingly. There are advanced striking methods which cannot be taught from a book or a website. Improper practice can permantently injure your hands and health. I personally dissagree with teaching a ten year old. We won't teach anyone under the age of 25, hand conditionoing due to the fact that the bones aren't fully developed, and calcification between the phalanges of the joints can occur causing arthritis. Find a qualified Sifu.

you can also use pots of loose material instead of the bags. it puts your hands in more contact with the mung beans/gravel/iron. its a real pain in the @ss since the mung beans fly just about everywhere.

Don't get caught up in external/internal. Also don't train with the little information you have. You really need a teacher on this one. Practice something else like working on your stances.

Is there some kind of generic ointment i can use while developing iron palm? by generic i mean something i can buy without looking hard. There is a large china town in my area.

MaFuYee
06-10-2002, 08:58 AM
go to a teacher who practices iron palm, and ask if you can buy some of his jow.

i have tried several different recipes from various teachers, and have settled on one from a wu mui sifu and herbalist.

i like it because it was the least sticky of the bunch, and it smelled the least offensive.

there were others that may be a little better, but they were more expensive, and/or really stunk. (odor.)

Feng Huang

You should never train anything like that without dit da jow. as a general rule, you should put rub it in whenever you do any kind of striking. (i.e. punching the bag, rub into knuckles). this will help to prevent damage and strengthen the bones and tendons. also, if you sifu has told you to train iron palm, he or she should have already spoken to you about how to take care of your hands. anyway, you can find a good one from a local chinese martial arts club. there are different kinds. the one my sifu makes absorbs quickly, doesn't have an overpower smell (relatively), and works really really well.

why is it that the karatekas can work their iron hand techniques without dit da jow and not suffer any adverse effects?

Dale Dugas
06-12-2002, 04:39 AM
Roughnready,

Look at many karate teachers and you rarely see people in their 70's, 80's or 90's compared to the Chinese martial arts. The beating of your hands without using any medicine is something you do at a great risk to your health. There are many acupuncture meridians which run through your hand. The knuckles used in karate(the first two on the hands) also have the large intestine and heart meridians occupying the same territory.

Many karate people die of degenerative heart problems among other problems. I wonder why when they are beating their hands against hard objects and neither doing the internal exercises to increases energy flow to the hands and using the medicine which is the key to help eliminate the blood clots which can form and then break off and go to your heart,lungs, brain and kill you.

Also no karate master I have ever seen on this continent or in Japan had the power capabilities of some of the Kung fu masters I have witnessed demonstrate.

A good jow used for Iron Palm has more resins in it and will always be more sticky than one used for injuries. Unfortunately for all us students, no odor usually means no power. The best jow I have used made my friends gag, you get used to it as your olefactory senses kick in after the first two times you use it.

You need to get the medicine from your Sifu or from someone who knows Iron Palm training. Do not use any old jow as they are designed for different purposes.

In Boston,

Lowlynobody
02-05-2003, 07:19 PM
Keep your training regular and use dit da jow. As always get your instruction from someone who knows what they are doing.

Are you asking what sort of materials that can be used to strike?
The iron palm I do has 3 levels. The first level has 4 stages - rice, chick peas, rock, and steel balls.

I saw a tournament on TV with a "Tai Chi master" in it. I put in quotation marks cause I don't know his creditials and he was in a brick breaking compition. Anyhow, He put his index finger through a coke can, and broke some bricks. I'm assuming he does Iron Palm.

because right to down to chi as intellectually understandable concept, the west in almost entirely in the dark...generally speaking..they don't even know what chi is, let alone how to use it, let alone include it in gen. comps :rolleyes:

sad but true..in the west, if you're talking chi, unless you're a tcm practioner ...bring on the psyche drugs because you're off your head...

I was ooking at some mma/ufc rules a while back, and they restrict certain stike zones, but totally leave open some very serios qi interuption through either air or blood deprivation ( ie: dim mak points) ???? WTF???

Thanks Serpent for adding another quote of mine to your signature (at least for now).

Actually, there are 'breaking' divisions within open tournaments. These areen't 'iron palm' specifically, but breaking is a big part of karate/tkd, so you do see it more in those circles.

I have this.


Remember, training is not recommended at all for those under 16 years of age. Those individuals under 18 years of age must get permission from a parent or guardian before starting training. Always consult a physician before beginning any exercise program. Train at your own risk. These training methods only reflect personal experience, and Wesler's Karate, Inc. cannot be held responsible for any injury resulting from attempting to train in these techniques.

The iron palm method is the hand conditioning regimen that I prefer. I enjoy the set schedule for training, the relaxed method, and most of all, the speedy results. I also prefer this method because it trains the palm heart, or the flat of the palm. In my opinion, the flat palm slap is the trademark strike of fighting gung fu. Iron palm is the essence of the gung fu of legend, not the watered down version that so many modern practitioners bring to fights, only to be crushed.

There is no mistaking an iron palm slap for boxing, karate, or mindless street brawling. As for its application in tameshiwari, the iron palm is unrivaled when it comes to breaking solid objects. Though you might be inclined to think otherwise, it is much easier to break a brick with the iron palm than it is with a punch, chop, hammerfist, or palm heel strike. I know this from experience. Iron palm is also noted for its capability of breaking the bottom brick in a stack without spacers. Such a practice is known as selective breaking.

Ku Yu Cheong, one of the most famous masters of iron palm, reportedly could break bricks selectively in a stack. Iron palm falls short only when it comes to breaking flexible objects (wood, baseball bats) and objects with spacers. I explain it to people with this example- the palm slap can move anything it strikes one half an inch. Since cement cannot flex, it breaks. If the object, such as wood, can flex ****her than that, it will not break. This is only an exaggerated example mind you, and only an example of my personal theory at that. As for spacers, the palm has difficulty sending energy through "hollow" area.

There are many variations of the iron palm conditioning process and each usually has a set amount of time for the initial phase. During this first phase, training must be done daily. After that, maintenance training varies. The first phase ranges anywhere from one month to three years or more. There are also advanced levels of the iron palm as well as internal and external conditioning.

The regimen I use is a variation of the traditional 100 day method and combines both internal and external training. This method produced good results for me in minimal time. Many others have also reported favorable results. I will honestly tell you that 100 days is not enough time to produce an invincible palm, but it will create a hand that is dangerous enough for combat, as well as allow you to break red bricks. This regimen conditions the entire hand.

Train at your own risk. I do not recommend training for those under 16 years of age.

Materials Needed:
-10" wide x 24" long (or larger) canvas bag
-approx. 1" round river rocks (enough to fill the bag half way)
-old towel
-cinder blocks (support stand)
-dit da jow


the kid im going to give the info to has mung beans to start, I told him to fashion a bag to hold them, then get some iron palm jow. I could show him the basic strikes ie: palm, backhand, knife, and ridge. tell him an amount of repetitions, but I think he is looking for actual instructions from someone who practices iron hand.

I suggested he get the Wing Lam Tiger Iron Palm masters kit. It looks pretty good to me. I dont know if he has the resources to get that though, so I am looking for actual basic instruction. no purchasing.

As Sanjuro asked what is your background?

How old are you?

Iron Palm is not to be trained until at least the age of 18-20 as the human body has not finished growing yet and the training could affect the growth of the hand(s).

Why are you asking this question on an open martial arts forum? Does your teacher offer this training program? If not why not?

Feel free to ask questions but we need to know a bit more about you as it pertains to are you going to be able to do the training or not.

I have been training my hands for over 15 years. Gene has met me personally at the Zhang San Feng festival and has seen my big ole meatball hands(though he was more interested in my kilt at the time :D:D:eek::eek::D) I have no issues.

Done correctly and with someone who KNOWS what they are doing, you will not have any issues. Train incorrectly and you will damage your nerves and might cause other affects that are not so good on the body.


I teach a method that has worked well for me over the years. If interested you can contact me for more information as well as coming to my seminar in November where I will be teaching both Iron Palm and Iron Vest over an entire weekend.

Dale, can you tell me what the 8 hand strikes are? I've been hitting a sand bag using a vibrating palm strike. Thats what one of my teachers told me to start with. He was one of Sifu Dufresne's assistant instructors for a while. He told me to concentrate on relaxing the hand and just letting it drop rather than putting power into it. He said for me to build up to that. Is this correct?

Sandbags will not develop Iron Palm.

I do not know what the 8 strikes are as my system of Iron Palm only uses 3 and then you learn to throw them from short distance so you could say there are only 6. There are many forms of Iron Palm training but sand is not hard enough to develop the hand to its utmost potential.

It will give conditioning but you must graduate to harder materials and stronger medicines to achieve.

You must learn not to strike the bag but relax and learn to let the power come out naturally over time. hence Iron Palm is not something that is going to be fully understood quickly. It takes a while to teach this to the body.

I have hit people with it (with control) and they have told me that some type of sensation was bouncing around inside their body. Also it feels like a vibrating shock at first, then it travels thru the body and down to the floor. When it hits the ground it comes back up to the point where it started. If there is no place for it to escape (ie.. Lose or joint), it implodes at that spot. I never have hit anyone with enough power to hurt them but, the feeling they urges them to start the iron palm process

Usually you would go from Sand to gravel to metal shot. Metal Shot are harder than gravel and will not break like some gravel can.

I know there is another thread on this but I wanted a new thread.

I'm wanting to train with iron palm, but in my area there are no instructors that I know of that can teach that. Therefore, I must resort to videos and handbooks. Ive done some research but I figured Id hit some forums to find out from other people like myself.

First off, what are some recommended kits? So far ive been looking at Wing Lam's kit and Richard Meir's kit, both of which are around the 100 dollar area. I couldn't find reviews, testimonials, or any other credibility that will assure safe and authentic training. With something like iron palm, I don't want to risk damaging my hands, so Im doing extensive research to not only get the safest training, but getting my money's worth.

Any suggestions on kits or overall iron palm training is appreciated. Thank you.

Wing Lam's kit is a good one. I have the gravel and mung bean bags.

Before starting iron palm training, know this:

DO NOT PROGRESS TOO FAST, FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF REPUTABLE PRACTITIONERS.

JUST BECAUSE IT "DOESN'T HURT ENOUGH" doesn't mean that you should TRANSITION TO THE NEXT STAGE.

I hate hearing "Yeah It's been 5 months and I'm gonna go ahead and switch from the mung bean to the rock bag LAWL <3<3!!!"

Mortifere
10-16-2007, 08:28 PM
That's good to hear. Yes, I realize it takes time, and I'd want to take as much time as it takes to be safe. Isn't his like a 100 days minimum program? I know it varies from individual to individual, especially those that use their hands less.

Also, anyone know anything about rebreakable boards? I'd like to get those while training if they are worth it. Of course I'd occasionally test with real pavers and wood boards.

NJM
10-16-2007, 08:31 PM
From what I've heard, the re-breakable boards are very poor. At your local lumber or hardware store you should be able to get wood cheap.


In truth, the amount of time one should spend on the bags does vary. This is the standard as I recall it:

Mung beans: 6 months-year
Rock/Gravel: 1-2 years
Steel Shot: The rest of your active life.

I've been practicing iron palm for about 4 years, but I still use the Gravel Bag because I've had many breaks in my IP training.

I'm wanting to train with iron palm, but in my area there are no instructors that I know of that can teach that. Therefore, I must resort to videos and handbooks. Ive done some research but I figured Id hit some forums to find out from other people like myself.

As stated for the hundreth time. Do Not Attempt Any Form Of Iron Palm Training Without a TEACHER.

you will hurt yourself and cause damage.

It is not something you can learn from a book or a video.

There are many things involved and you need to learn it from another human who knows what they are doing.

If you train correctly then you can break with little or no effort as you are using your whole body to hit through the palm not just the hand or arm itself.

For example visit my youtube page that has a few breaking vids on it.

Mortifere, need I remind you that if you break your hand trying to learn Iron Palm the wrong way, you could be up for an Article 15? Goes along the same line as getting a sunburn.

Just some advice from your friendly neighborhood SSG.

PlumDragon
11-05-2007, 08:21 AM
Mortifere,

You wouldnt happen to be at Ft Gordon, would you?
Im not sure where you are but there is a fairly extensive selection of good martial arts in Atlanta and surrounding areas (although if youre at Ft Gordon you may be out of luck); you can practically take your pick of styles, gyms, etc; most of which will offer iron palm or similar regimen at some point in the training program. If you let us know where you are exactly, it may be easier to determine your best action.



Mortifere, need I remind you that if you break your hand trying to learn Iron Palm the wrong way, you could be up for an Article 15? Goes along the same line as getting a sunburn. Maybe the miltary has changed lots since I got out (whoa, 4 years ago now!), but Article 15 isnt usually given out for first offense unless the circumstances are serious (sunburn and accidental injury not among them). Please dont misunderstand, Im with everyone else here, training should not be undertaken lightly, but I dont believe that "motivation" a la military display of power is terribly constructive...

Yeah...our unit made a big stink downrange about a guy who wasn't careful and accidentally drilled his hand. He wasn't given an AR 15 in the end, but they certainly had him believing he was in some serious trouble. Some units will do that, though. It varies from place to place, unit to unit.

No jumping up and coming down on the bricks, no excessive body drop, no palm heeling through it. Those are external breaks.

As I said, I haven't trained iron palm yet. However, it is indeed possible to brake patio bricks with proper palm placement and dropping your weight.

Dale Dugas
11-05-2007, 10:30 AM
Yes, you can break things buts its physical and not internal.

After you have been training for a few years and learn to relax and move more energy through your structure you are going to be able to hit harder with much less movement.

Again, talking about things is great but without video it never happened.

You don't see a difference between a "dead weight" drop for example and a drop that is powered down?

To me it's simple really, If I, or anyone for that matter, can do a break, for instance, with minimal effort, that is internal.
If that same break is done with as much effort and force possible, it is external.

On a side note, to me at least, IP has very little to do with breaking at all, and everything to do with "forging", breaking is but a way to "test" your IP if you are NOT into ***** slapping people, which I am into by the way :D

Iron Palm is BOTH internal and external. ALL styles are both to various degrees. ( at least on this plane or in this dimension).

There is nothing that is pure yin or pure yang ( yin yang principle).

It like being compared to an alcoholic beverage, although it is called an alcoholic beverage it is not 100% percent alcohol. There are things in it that are not alcohol, right??

Internal martial arts , as well as external martial arts are the same way.

There are other methods that others employ, however they are using more external than internal and relying more on brute strength . This is not the way to have any longevity in doing the practice . Doing it this way will get you hurt and is an improper practice.

It is not a secret and it is just a name.

You can move energy while you are relaxed and while you are tense , they are one and the same.You can not have one with out the other.(yin yang principle)

Internal and external is the way you train . Are you conditioning yourself from the inside out or the outside in?What are the methods , that is how you determine an internal or external art.

whats article 15 ?


An Article 15 refers to a form of punishment in the military...I'll break it down real quick...

Based on who issues it, you can be on extra duty (working from REAL early until REAL late every day, including weekends) for 7-45 days, 7-45 days of restriction (stuck in the barracks, allowed only to go to the dining facility or place of worship), if you are a Specialist (E-4), you could be reduced to Private, and a Sergeant can be reduced to a Specialist. Finally, a Staff Sergeant can be reduced to Sergeant. They can also take a huge chunk of your pay too.

PlumDragon
11-07-2007, 08:51 AM
The scariest part of Article 15 is perhaps on the administrative side. Generally, there are 3 or 4 types of "punishment" that precede Article 15 territory--its more than the obligatory slap on the wrist. Multiple Article 15s can lead to things like jail time, cuts in pay/grade, and dishonorable discharge.

here is what I would suggest:)

There is no secret Iron Palm Training (pg 15 IPTM);)
it's only conditioning
the common herbs can help, but not necessary
don't injure yourself and you can progress:mad:
practice 2x a day you can progress
use any hit or kick

start with
small canvas bag full of beans
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

small canvas full of sand
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

small canvas bag full of pea gravel
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

small canvas bag full of gravel road
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

at this level you can start to practice breaking things

do not tear the skin it will slow you.:mad:

It is always amazing that there is someone out there who can give out sage advice yet can do nothing but pester and troll threads with a total lack of background or knowledge.

Full force hitting on bags, hunh?

Seems our troll has no clue at all, and that confirms it.

I have to say that Im not impressed with this mouthboxer who uses capitals like he has any idea what he is saying.

The fact that you say the medicinal formula are not needed shows your ignorance.

Anytime you want to show use what you can do rather than link to others vids feel free. Then we might think you have half a brain.

You have no idea what Iron Palm is about.

That is obvious.

You have nothing to show so you make crap up.

You are sad. I pity you and anyone in your family.

Good luck with your fictitious training routines. You are going to need some serious luck with the damage you will do to yourself and the lawsuits that result from some kid doing what you suggest.

Why do you offer up such drivel rather than show us you can break even a one inch board?

Because you cannot.

here is what I would suggest:)

There is no secret Iron Palm Training (pg 15 IPTM);)
it's only conditioning
the common herbs can help, but not necessary
don't injure yourself and you can progress:mad:
practice 2x a day you can progress
use any hit or kick

start with
small canvas bag full of beans
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

small canvas full of sand
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

small canvas bag full of pea gravel
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

small canvas bag full of gravel road
when you can hit it with full force 200+ times without tearing the skin you will be ready for next bag

at this level you can start to practice breaking things

do not tear the skin it will slow you.:mad:

:cool:

Man, you are full of some thing, I just dont know yet. What kind of puss* tears his hand on a bag of beans. Keep using this program, I wish every one used it so if I fought them they would try to devastate me with that iron palm. Do you have a program for chi blasts also? If you put a towel down before you broke a block you would in essence achive the same level of conditioning as this program.

My thoughts are your method is Sh**t and if you are serious and not trolling dont use it in a fight because you will get hurt. If you have ever broken any thing you know that you can bypass your "conditioning" by putting a towel over the blocks to protect your fragile hand. will it help you hit harder, no. Just will help with the sting.

There are external methods and internal methods. I dont care what you use I use what i think is best and so should you but to put this type of B.S out there for people who dont know better is a shame.

I don't wish to come across as impolite:

Anyone who is training their iron palm method using mung beans, sand
or pea gravel is really just wasting their valuable time and effort. The only,
and I will say again "only" method to get absolute results is to use about 100 lbs
of lead shot packed very carefully into a leather or lined "heavy" canvas bag.
The training is mildy dangerous, in that if you do not watch how you hit this bag
you will injure yourself.

The medicine must have a great deal of resins in it to seal off the skin from
the slight potential of the lead coming through the bag " but it will not".

The training should be done 2 times per day for a total of 500 strikes per day
after you have reached about the 40th day of training.

Strict attention must be used with this training, it is not for the knucklehead who
cannot understand what a relaxed body is and hit's the bag with force.
YOU WILL BREAK YOUR HAND.

This is to be done every day without missing, you should not " cannot"
break the training if you can help it within the first 100 days.

"The Mind leads the Chi. This has an association with the odor of the medicine.
The odor of the medicine should trigger the movement of the chi. you will know this
when you smell the finished medicine and your saliva glands start to produce.
This movement must then be controlled and channeled with specific mental
"qi gong" exercises. before and throughout training.

This is the way things were done in the old school, prior to people selling
their video's and iron plam programs. I had dinner with a very well known
Northern Shaolin master some years back who was doing this mung bean and sand method with the video tapes and liniment sales angle. My feeling was
that he felt this method was a safe way to introduce a person to this type of
training, make money and not get tangled up with attorneys when somone
hurts themselves.... but authentic, for true results, it would never fly in some
places. and it has never flown with me.

I will be doing a complete article in inside Kung fu on this subject, enough years have passed.

Right on, though 100lbs of lead shot seems to be a bit much, I mean, what size hand do you have ??

Piercinghammer
11-07-2007, 02:24 PM
The 100 lb lead filled bag has a very specfic reason. The lead shot packs in a certain way different from any other material and has a different feel than any other material when you "drop" your hand on it. The bag should be packed as
tightly with shot as you can get it. No loose bb's rolling around in there.

Kemo,

You have no knowledge of what you speak.

Shifu Mike Biggie and I have been friends for years and have learned iron palm from similar sources. We use lead shot in special bags that are lined so that nothing comes out.

My teacher told me to use lead. He has never been poisoned and I will not.

Again you are talking like you know something.

Your earlier reference was not only silly will cause more damage with your hitting with full force and using no medicinal formula.

You are one of the best mouthboxers I have seen lately.

Piercinghammer
11-07-2007, 02:45 PM
perhaps I should have made this point more clear..... You don't eat the lead.




Don't put the lead shot in your mouth. Make sure it stays in the carefully sealed
Leather or "lined" canvas bag. make sure that the medicine has a large amount
of resin in it to seal off the skin... it will feel sticky when it dries.




Mike Biggie

Thats interesting, I used the PVC/Rubber lined bags but didn't know the Jow will help too.

When do you guys wash your hand after you hit your bag, my wife hates the smell (I love it) so I wait 30 mins then wash. Should you wash sooner just incase of lead contanimation or leave on so it works better.

They had copper, bronze, stone, beans, tree bark, coral, steel, concrete..... the list goes on. The lead gives some, deadens the blow and gives a good of amount of resistance. Use stainless steel ball bearings if ya want, just dosnt give you the same results and you end up hurting your hand. I want a powerfull strike without a deformed elephant hand that has no feeling

Lead affects the peripheral and central nervous system. The most common sign of peripheral neuropathy due to chronic lead poisoning is painless wristdrop (weakness of the extensor muscles of hand) which usually develops after many weeks of exposure.

The medicine should have several things it does, 1# is to medicate the hand
and help keep the swelling down, this is best done if the medicine is very warm to
hot and the hand is soaked in it for 5 min or so before training. Soaking the hand in the warm herbal mixture allows the pores to open up and the herbal compounds to pass through the skin into the layers of tissue below. #2 if the formula is a true Iron palm formula it will be rich with resins and gums. These
will make the formula slightly sticky, as the medicine dries the gums will have coated the hand. when you start to hit the iron palm bag you will pound the
resins into the pores of the skin and they will seal the hand from the metal.

This type of training goes far back in shaolin history, and shows up in many old manuscripts where, say a practioner would use a lead mallet on his body to
condition soft places on his torso and the would coat the instrument with myrrh gum and other herbs to seal the lead off from the body. Lead was the preferd
metal because of its dense nature and its deat hit. many of us like to use a
large strand of copper cable these days, I'm sure you are familar with this to
condition parts of your arms

#3 is that a really good iron palm formula will when smelled have an effect on the body. It will have the effect of calming the mind and causing the... I hate to use these words... causing the chi to move. One of the things you would notice
is your saliva glands start to produce. The back of your mouth will feel tight, like you would like to bite down on something.

During the very slow deliberate training the odor of the medicine and the qigong will become associated subcontously with one another. As training time passes
much of the qigong training can be triggerd by the odor of the herbs and bring
your body and nervous system the the ready point for more training. A kind of
in the zone thing.
Remember the mind controlls the qi, the herbs only help make the jump to the next level of training.

This type of training is not for everybody, its very time intinsive and meticulous
"Zen" would be a good word to decribe it.

Your probably right Kemo... people should beat a sandbag and use Bengay.
this is far too much for people... I think we should let the old authentic methods
die off.

please forgive any misspellings... I don't feel like going back over this.

Full metal jacket refers to a fully loaded M-16 magazine....

If you have ever broken a block there is some stinging, if you put a towel over the block and break it the sting is less. You never said any thing about a towel I did, referring that your program is as usefull as a towel.

Water mains have lead joints, some people have lead water services to their house, some people have lead in their copper joints in their houses. why havent they died and they ingest it not hit it in a sealed bag.

well, you can go on and keep working that super breaking technique (IRON PALM)
with your "internal" power (poisoning)
and use your secret medicine that will prevent lead poisoning (because its sticky)
so you can break 2 slabs of concrete (with a towelette)
while standing still , after meditating to move your medicine driven chi
and act as if its some secret training:eek:


you would think...... if you knew better.......... then it would.... just..... be... stupid!:(


to me that is thE sad misconception of training from ignorance

moving the chi K.R.A.P. always cracks me up!:D

and I never said don't use herbs, the're great, some better than others.

Dude... lead's, like, y'know, heavy... ;)

100lb of it would pack down into a bag about the size of a hefty textbook[1]. Not that I have the first clue about this type of conditioning, but wouldn't that be about the right size for a punching target?



[1]Mass density of pure lead is 11,340kg per cubic metre, according to the Internet. 100lb of it, then, takes up just short of 4,000 cubic cm. Figure spheres to pack down so, say, 25&#37; of total volume is empty space, 100lb of lead shot takes up 5,000 cubic cm. That gives you a box 25cm long, 20cm wide and 10cm thick.

I know there is another thread on this but I wanted a new thread.

I'm wanting to train with iron palm, but in my area there are no instructors that I know of that can teach that. Therefore, I must resort to videos and handbooks. Ive done some research but I figured Id hit some forums to find out from other people like myself.

First off, what are some recommended kits? So far ive been looking at Wing Lam's kit and Richard Meir's kit, both of which are around the 100 dollar area. I couldn't find reviews, testimonials, or any other credibility that will assure safe and authentic training. With something like iron palm, I don't want to risk damaging my hands, so Im doing extensive research to not only get the safest training, but getting my money's worth.

Any suggestions on kits or overall iron palm training is appreciated. Thank you.

try clicking the link lead poisoning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning#Symptoms_and_effects) then READ:D


fact sheet (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts13.pdf)

I want you to tell me now, in this thread, that their method causes lead poisoning and I want to know the specifics. I know you have no idea how lead poisoning works in regard to pores.

The scariest part of Article 15 is perhaps on the administrative side. Generally, there are 3 or 4 types of "punishment" that precede Article 15 territory--its more than the obligatory slap on the wrist. Multiple Article 15s can lead to things like jail time, cuts in pay/grade, and dishonorable discharge.

Anything and everything before UCMJ is "corrective training", such as ridiculous amounts of pushups, pullups off the side of the building, etc. And a single AR 15 can cause grade loss, pay forfeiture, and be the only required stepping stone for a Chapter. I know this because we have it going on right now in our unit, and I don't think the guy is going to be staying in. Also had an incident a few years back where a guy was tossed out over a single incident.

You aren't so much wrong, PlumDragon, but that is a bit of a broad generalization. I am a Staff monster, so I see a bigger picture than what you might have.

Point it, as you all can see, it varies wildly from unit to unit. PlumDragon's unit might have had different standards for pushing a Chapter, whereas my unit will destroy you if you do something bad enough.

Dermal exposure plays a role for exposure to organic lead among workers, but is not considered a significant pathway for the general population.

* Organic lead may be absorbed directly through the skin.
* Organic lead (tetramethyllead) is more likely to be absorbed through the skin than inorganic lead.
* Dermal exposure is most likely among people who work with lead.:D

Dermal absorption of inorganic lead compounds is generally quite low. One study reported increased levels in saliva and sweat following dermal exposure to inorganic lead, although blood or urine levels remained unchanged. It was postulated that the inorganic lead absorbed through the skin was transported in plasma and rapidly concentrated in sweat and saliva, without significant uptake by erythrocytes

The route of absorption has little effect on the distribution of lead

First off, I know nothing about iron palm, so I won't even touch the intricacies of it.

However, with the dangers of lead poisoning, lined (rippable) bags aside, wouldn't it make more sense to find a similar substance to use that won't decimate your bloddstream and pretty much ruin you? I mean, you can tout the safety of the bag all you like, but it just makes more sense to use something less toxic...

Iron Palm training is dangerous because........

First off, there are reasons for lead as mentioned, second, the bags are HEAVY lined with PVC, also the bag can't rip as there are no "ripping force" applied to it.

No one wants to be poisoned, do you think when one takes up a prpgram ( any program) you don't think it through?
Of course you do, I know I did.

That said, steel BB"s can be used and are used by some that have concerns about lead.
I work in the steel industry and I investigated the procedure and safety of it very, very throughly and was satisfied, if I wasn't I would use steel, its just that simple.

I'm just saying that for the longest time, people didn't even know lead was harmful. I'm not the one doing it, and I'm already occupied with an art, so I don't see myself taking it up anytime soon. It was just a little hip-pocket observation I made. If it's safe, then that's great.

I share you concern that is why I made sure HOW it was gonna be done was safe, if I had any issues I would have used steel which is an acceptable subsitutute.

Kemo is nothing but a mouthboxer.

he does not train in any system nor has any skill other than snivelling fu.

It is obvious he does not train Iron Palm but came on here to detract from the thread and to try and discredit me.

Attached is a photo of my bag that I have been using for over 5 years.

It is full of #9 lead shot and I have been tapping it everday.

I have never had any issues with lead poisoning and will not due to what is involved.

Anyone interested in learning a real Iron Palm program as well as the Iron Vest are invited to come to NJ this weekend and learn. Click on the link below for more information http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/news/index.php

Also feel free to stop by Kemo as I would love to demo how iron palm carries over into combat striking. I invite you to come learn something real rather than the deluded poop you have been spouting since you came here.

Kemo,

Who are you?

Who is your teacher?

How long have you been training in your full force IP program?

The lead works great, I know people who have done iron palm for 20-50 yrs with and with out lined bags. They are still alive have normal kids and no cancer. The exposure is minimal. I have known people with lead poisoning and they work with lead every day an usually receive through the dust or not washing their hand prior to eating lunch. They work with lead so much that there hands and faces are black but only the ones that don't follow the precautions of washing prior to eating or not wearing masks.

Black mold is bad now when people see mold that is black they want to tear there house down, when a strain of mold that is black is harmful with hundreds of other strains of black mold are harmless. They are buzz words, like mercury how many people played with mercury and lived to tell about it and now we evacuate schools if there is a small spill.

A softer copper may be a alternative or even tungstun. You can still hunt with lead and eat it with out issues. If you dont feel comfortable use tungstun or steel. Use sand, gravel, your underwear i dont care just dont do it like Kemo. Leave the lead to the people who are not worried, you trying to change us still does not make that laughable program any good.

You are right those are two of the best ways to nourish Qi. I would put breathing first , because if you are not breathing you are not eating.:D

Lead affects the peripheral and central nervous system. The most common sign of peripheral neuropathy due to chronic lead poisoning is painless wristdrop (weakness of the extensor muscles of hand) which usually develops after many weeks of exposure.

Why do you think they call it "Iron Palm"?

No, it does not need to bigger than the hand, a smaller size would be fine.
the size of bag I use has alot to do with the way the shot packs down after
it has been struck several times and a larger size bag is just easier to train on.
I have in the past used smaller bags, I just prefer this larger size.
