Have conditioning techniques like hung gar, meaning do they make not only the arms, but the arms, legs, shins, and torso "Hard"??? I hear thats what hung gar is kinda famous for, that and its low stances, does pm do this?

There are plenty of Gong (conditioning) in Praying Mantis.

Iron Palm which you practice with bags and other equipment

3 stars strikes for the arms and legs. (with partner or wooden dummy)

18 Lohan for strengthing the tendon , bones and internal organs. (solo and internal)

Pai Da for full body impact. (solo or partnered and external)

Rolling and falling for the body to acclimatize to takedown.

these are just a few to begin with.

Personally, that's quite comprehensive already in the conditioning area.
