Mung beans

Mung beans for training with the hands...Where does one buy them, and how do you use them?

[azwingchun]

You can buy them from just about any Chinese market, they are used for palm/hand training in striking bags. When they begin to break down from striking the bag they will have a medicinal property for the hands. To keep it simple anyway. :cool:

About how long should you be purchasing them for and if you punch your bag each day, about how often do you need to replace them?

I don't really understand your question- how long should you be purchasing them for? As far as when do you replace them? I would replace them when the beans stop providing sufficient padding or support for your hand. ;)

Ok, should I always be buying these beans and putting them in my wall bag? Or should I just use the beans for like a year, and change them out every 3 weeks (or whenever they stop providing sufficient comfort)? Basically how long should I use this before my hands are completely conditioned to the max the beans will provide.

I would say until the beans stop allowing the sufficient comfort. Depending on how much you condition your hands could be several months or so. ;)
