Iron Palm guy with big swollen hand (vid)

[golden arhat]

It looks like that guy went through the last stage of iron palm or iron sand palm training. Basicaly stirring a pot full of iron filings and sand that has been heated to over 100 degrees with your hand. Apparently it is only done by people who already have children as the martial artist can become sterile . i dunno but no amount of weightlifting caused his hand to become that big.

just a tip

dont believe everything u read in those books

i'm assuming u are reading something like one of wong kiew kits books

or some other crap

take everything with a pinch of salt

No actually lol. I have one of wong kiew kits books and i totally agree with you. I actually got this out of another book by Yang Jwing-ming and as it was recommended. I personally don't believe someone would do that but looking at that guys hand something has happened. I have been studying various martial arts since i was about 7 years old mate and thankfully i have learned to take certain things such as mentioned with a huge pinch of salt lol.

I hope you know that hand conditioning shortens your life span.

Just about every well know person that did it to a large extent also died in their early 50s.

Look them up.

Also, same thing happens to karate master that overdo the hard conditioning, and not enough soft nei gong, they die in their early 50s.

From Ed Parker to the local karate master in my area.

So how do you explain all the 80+ year old masters that have done it and are still around ?
Kicking ass in some cases.
