    chinese strength training: some questions


    Matt Furey has a workshop coming up which will cover these methods but I don't have the 1400 USD to attend. Also I would rather just get a book or tape/DVD.

    • I'm also wondering if anyone has tried the stone warrior DVD. Did you like it? Is it worthwhile?

    Keen is not what he appears to be

    Keen markets the set that Green Dragon made infamous. He is a scawny looking man who seems to not have much connection.

    I would recommend Sifu Steve Hamp who has been trained in all variety of Chinese strength development exercises by GM Gene L. Chicoine.

    Sifu Hamp's website is http://www.noweightsworkout.com

    He has reasonable tapes and ebooks as well as an online free forum to post questions that he answers himself.

    No offence to MF, but he charges out the wazoo for everything he sells.

    Take a look and stay clear of Keen he is associated with Jim Lacy of 18 Daoist Palms and that man is a total nutter.

    Crazy training methods are cool and all, but are they the most effective?

    OK thanks. I wasn't aware of the Lacy connection - I don't want to associate myself in any way with his "organization."

    I'll check out the link you provided.

    Keen is a "lohan" in Lacys made up fu. Total nutter and anyone who listens to him is also insane as well as maladjusted.

    Sifu Hamp is top notch and a great teacher.

    Check him out.

    Thanks again Dale, Sifu Hamp's site looks excellent.
    • Ok I'm still wondering if anyone knows of any books or DVDs that show how to train with stone / iron locks.

    I suppose I could use them as kettlebells but I've done KBs and although I love them I'm looking for a change. I'm wondering how the chinese used them but can't seem to find much info.

    Greetings,

    A man with a penchant for nostalgia. I must help thee....


    I can describe some exercises that I have seen with the blocks.

    -Swinging upward from a horse stance.

    -Punching with stances

    -Tossing in the air and catching (CAREFUL!!!) Can be done with a partner (CAREFUL!!!).

    -One Arm Pushups with other arm vertical, holding the lock above(saw HaiDeng's student do this in a documentary).

    Kettle bell exercises can also be used. The block appears to offer more stability. Looks like it could be good for developing good wrist strength.

    Taht sweep pole thing was pretty cool. The other stuff sorta reminded me of kettlebell training.

    The "long bag" was pretty cool. Probably a pretty good grip workout.

    Thanks for the vids.

    Never used the first one, but the movements are the same as belt cracking... Looks like a good workout though.
    2nd was a single sided rock pole... Ive got one made of cement.

    3rd one.... I miss the long bag. those things are fun. Playing catch with them is a great workout.

    That first one was sweet! Buuut looks like a good way to pull out your lower back!

    Second one looked good too: wonder if that's any better than actually throwing someone or if it's just designed as a solo drill.

    Third one: gotta make me one of those!

    Meat Shake: checked out a vid of belt cracking the other day: you just supposed to pull it as fast and taught as you can at the end of each move?
