Iron Buddha Style?

[SouthernTiger]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has heard of or practices the Iron Buddha Style. One of the few references I have is from two Green Dragon Studios instructional tapes. I was curious to know if anyone can corroborate its existence independent of Green Dragon material.

Thanks!

well let me give u a more serious reply...

First of all I assume that iron buddha is something similar to Iron Wire..
in other words a breathing excersize( qi gong/hei gung)..

What can u expect from learning it ?
Stopping bullets from penetrating,being invincible...?
Of course not..its just for health and can make u stronger,you are more resistant
against illness like the flu etc. its not for fighting or wont teach u fighting..
If its something like Iron Wire fist

There are Iron Buddha fighting forms and weapons (staff). They use 'power blocking'...the combination punch/block that is also featured in the Noi Lick Kuen from (southern?) Shaolin.

C'mon...aren't you too young for that kind of closed mindedness?

Where's the enthusiastic optimism of youth?

I learned the Iron Buddha strength set years ago, 1991 as a matter of fact, it was as Laukarbo described, a tension set with a certain amount of hypogastric breathing...it was benificial as it gave me some strength and helped my v02 max...it was not meant for fighting. Did it about six months or so and moved on to other forms.
I had a chance to see Green Dragons video on this certain set not long ago. Master Allen was the one demonstrating it. Whooooweee I had to turn it off 1/4 in to it...I could not believe how badly the form was butchered...now this comes from a guy who is not a Green Dragon basher, I believe that Allen even now in his 60's could kick some serious ass.
Hi ya Weasel hope things are well with you and yours. Tell the other guys, Mike, Bobby and Steve, howdy for me.
