From Steve Cotter's Full KOntact site. He's a guy on Dragondoor.
I've never seen anything like this before. I would assume it would not be the best way to protect your ribs.

He's conditioning his body to absorb a blow to that area
I wouldn't call it "blocking" per se
I think it's good training to condition ones body, but it has to go hand in hand with combat skills.
the's a strong chance that a person could get struck in the ribs, I've had my ribs cracked before because I didn't have a good guard and I was tired.
It was a powerful kick, If I hadnt had the basic conditioning I have my ribs would have been broken...it's as simple as that.
We have drills similar to that for the whole body.
from the bottom up it is:
-back of calf-hit with calf
-inside of thigh-hit with thigh
-outside of thigh-hit with thigh
-buttocks-hit with buttocks
-abs-hit with knee
-top of shoulder hits ribs
-ribs hit ribs
-back hit back
-kick back
-punch to chest
-chest hit chest
-forehead hit forehead
-forearms ad naseum
if you want to help me post I can email a quicktime clip that I posted in the Mantis section some years ago
Sure. Post it. I'm all about body conditioning.

Gee, doesn't it bear a strong resemblance to some types of iron body training?Originally Posted by IronFist
^ Huh? Probably. I'm confused as to why you quoted my post before asking that.

I'm not sure what that clip was suppose to be showing so I can't really comment on it...but you have bigger lats than that dude...

I have a video of a Shaolin Monk doing that, only he drops his hands and wraps his arms around the kick to catch it, and throw the opponent to the ground.
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

Looks like old school karate training.

Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

Do any of you guys know anything about Steve Cotter?
Thanks,

Ironfist,
Did you look at all of the clips that are at his website? He is not blocking a kick with his lats.
He has helped me a lot with my kettlebell workouts as well as further developing my I chuan techniques.
Take a look at the following article that Steve recently wrote and can be found at dragon door and IronGarm.

BTW, If I lived out in San Diego, I'd train in person with him in a heartbeat. His knowledge base in deep and thorough.
