    if you count the head as a fist... yesterday i was toying with bending over backwards, balancing an iron ball on the forehead and doing some symmetrical arm movements vertically.

    chipping stone... one of the tricks to understanding stone cutting is that it is the sound vibration that cuts the stone, not the chisel all by itself... you have to direct this sound energy according to angle and type of stone... musing this thought naturally i went down the avenue of understanding the concept of using sound vibration to strengthen the density of the bones, tendons, and ligaments in certain iron palm techniques - striking of metal/bells and the such with the intention of changing the vibrational frequency and density of the atoms in your hand/arm and so forth... so holding a 4lb stone cutting chisel in one hand with a 3lb iron mallet in the other and creating works of art out of pieces of stone makes for a most EXCELLENT form of strengthening the fist.

    I just strike a lot. Usually against hard things. Try to avoid injury in doing so.

    very nice drake, although i believe that was listed around post #2... the point of the thread is to share OTHER ways to help strengthen your fist in order to hit harder without damaging yourself... oh... and trying is not doing.

    I say try because sometimes I hit things that are too hard. Not often, but when it happens, it hurts. I don't think I have any PERMANENT injury...but it does hurt for a while.

    CLF has the wall bag set, which is pretty good. Helps with conditioning and transitioning...

    then hit them lighter until you build up conditioning.

    i believe if you want to get conditioned at hitting stone, you have to hit stone... wanna be able to hit metal hard?? start hitting metal lightly... hitting a wallbag set conditions the hands to hit a wall bag set - conditioning is multi-dimensional in concept and application.

    It's the bag itself you strike. Fill it with whatever your little digits can handle...

    but you still hit a bag - not quite the same as striking a steel i-beam or a large stone.
