Does Anyone Train Iron crotch

[Lucky Red]

funny History Hopes it isnt True if it is
Please Stop this U may get a iron Crotch But
The Effects of this Training is....bad ....very bad.....worse!!!!!


Someone write this to me, and you can see what my response was. The scary part of the following is that what he wrote to me is true, and used to be practiced.
I don't know if you've heard of this but here goes.
Iron Crotch Kung Fu ( I swear I heard this on TV during a demonstration of Kung Fu)
Find a large heavy rock
Place rock on a near by wall
Tie a leather thong (rope) securely around the rock
Tie the other end of the rope around your scrotum
Assume a horse riding stance and walk backwards pulling the rock off the wall and let swing
The scary thing here is that this is a true thing---this sort of thing used to be one of the "tests" given by the Shaolin priests to gauge your chi.
Yipe.
Personally, I think what it REALLY was had to do with the fact that the older priests were tired of having to deal with the high testosterone levels of the younger initiates, so they devised this "test". After doing that a couple of times, testosterone is something your body simply won't produce anymore. Ta-da! Instant serene monk, without that pesky testosterone-based macho attitude.
Ow.
It's supposed to show your would-be attacker that you are impervious to pain. This is definately the case but I'm not sure how practical this would be in a fight. It also shows your attacker you are as thick as a plank.
Strong, tough---and not much for brains. :)

Hmmmm....I've been doing that for years on my own as a hobby----you're saying it's also a part of kung fu training?

I practice an Iron Body technique in which you hang and swing weights from the genitals.
I find that it increases sexual energy instead of diminishing it.

[Kung Lek]

It is a Shaolin method and it is called "golden egg".
Many make humourous comments about this training because they do not understand the value of it.

it is directly related to Golden Bell training and it is of high importance in the ability to withstand strikes.

Golden Bell (both small and large) and considered "Iron Body" methods. As monkey has pointed out.

it will not decrease testosterone production and it is not devised for toning down behaviours of impetuous youth. Hard work in a structured setting will do that for the young.

Are you all from the states? ;) ƒ

The "shaolin" swinging is testicle only and will lead to impotence almost guaranteed if i'm not mistaken.

The bone marrow nei kung swinging ties around the testicles and the *****. There are also methodology the books dont go into. Ie: Washing the silk cloth, trimming the edges, ect. (if it slips, your wankers sliced off)

Plus, it helps to shave the hairs which is a pain in the butt i'm told. Try explaining that to the guys at the gym. :)

The book _ modern miracles _ I think its called, shows the indian dick stretching which renders the one eyed monster useless for anything but winding up and carrying around in a basket.

The taoist methods increase hormones while the shaolin makes you a eunuch pretty much is what the deal is.

so these two shaolin monks were urinating off a bridge, and one sez, "This water is sure cold" and the other replies, "Yeah, and deep, too."

[Turiyan]

Yang ywang mings book has a formula for the iron crotch. His explaination of the testicle massage and swinging is inadequate. But he has the formula Mantak chia's healing tao is devoid of.

The formula is supposed to be used as a pre training 'pickle' of the gnads. I suppose it can replace the massaging. The swinging isnt nessessary i'm told for the iron vest III techniques chia teaches.

The marrow nei kung book disclaims learning from the book even though I know several that have done it. Its mostly just a disclaimer but the seminars and video's go into some more detail. Like how to treat the silk cloth. Do's and donts
like training while mad/upset.

There are also other issues like humidity. Climate control is important or you get slippage. The placement of the knot is important. The HT swinging also suggests not going past a certain degree of swinging and they only swing for a short period.

The yang book doesnt say anything about it. Some are concerened about this kind of training because many hard chi kung can interfere with sexual function/feeling.

If it dulls pain, it dulls pleasure. Basic axiom. A important part of non-swinging nei kung is the tapping and massage.

Beginners should swing with the weight of the pipe and bolt first. The HT group sell a rubber coated pipe/bolt rig on the homepage. They suggest a rubber coated pipe for some reason. The basic rig is a pipe drilled and a bolt with a nut that holds the weight.

The weight is a plate with a hole, just like the ones at gyms. You place the pipe through the hole, tie on the rope and secure the silk rig.

Anyone that does this should have internal medication and over the counter meds on hand for safety. The internal pills you buy at chines shops, the yunnan biao. Dit da jow, and some muscle oil, and the zheng gu shui, both water and oil based, ect.

As one guy suggested, If you pop or bust something, take the pill and lie down. Calling 911 is going to be a big time drag. It will cost you a lot of money and try explaining to a doctor or psychiatrist what your doing and why.

Dont put the oils on before training. Only for emergency. Keep things dry. You have to clip your hairs. Well, you dont have to. Its just a good idea. (Explain that to the guys at the gym)

The ultimate goal is to bring the nutts into the body. But short term, it increases hormone production to aid the training of the marrow. What you get is yours to keep. I'm told you should be able to feel the yellow marrow sizzling out.

Definitly keep some herbs and formula's on hand with methods like this. I'd also like to add, for excess fire conditions. Use lots of butter. In india they use clairified butter. I'm into shortbread. I have mongol blood so i'm heavly into lots of dairy products.

Milk, buttermilk, that fake chocolate milk made from whey (whey is more of a drying, air clearing substance... something you have to feel to understand). Yogurt. Mung beans and mulberrys are fire clearers. DONT BURN YOURSELF UP.

Waters okay. Drinks lots of it. But i've developed diabetes (bronze) and I can drink a half gallon in about 3 minutes. A double gulp at 7-11 is a 'taste' for me now. Your body will cook that off in no time. DONT BURN YOURSELF UP.

I dryed my lymphatic system up the other day testing out the new outdoor pools heater. Big mistake, my body wasnt even producing enough saliva for me to chew crackers.

Be real cognizant of what your thyroid is telling you. That guy looks a little light in the heel's if you get what I mean. :)

Nature calls. :)

Oh man, doing this is going to strech your sack out! Your boys are going to be hanging at knee level if you practice this for too long.

It hurts to just read about it.

Um... where can I find Kungfu Qigong? I haven't seen it at Borders, and I figure they would have everything.

Gene, you answered an email I sent to Wing Lam a few years ago. Do you still work for them? Sorry I'm a bit clueless :P
