Iron body training questions

[mooyingmantis]

have u lost weight or just not showing ur belleh

strong back of ox

LOL!! No, hiding the belly. Unfortunately, as much insulin as I take for my diabetes, I will never lose weight. Hard enough just trying not to gain more.

Your teacher doesn't have an another method to teach you?

He does. I decided on my own to check around to see what others are doing to see if there was any preferred methods.

if you trained "years ago" and the only kung fu you learned was shaolin do (LOL) I recommend you just let go of your ego and desires and train for health. do some gentle tapping and light weit lifting. you get to stay mobile in your joints, reduce osteoporosis and have better overall health

if u try to go hardcore you gonna get wrecked in 2 months then quit kung fu forever

Laugh all you want at the shaolin do. At the time it was the best I could find.

Didn't realize that getting wrecked meant quitting in 2 months time but I guess that depends on how you define wrecked. I do train for health before anything else. Can't say I care much for weight lifting though. Resistance band and kettle band training has been working nicely for me. I prefer free weights but I'm usually working out alone. Also been using CoC #1 to improve on my grip which I know isn't much but had to start somewhere. I'm going to keep raising the bar a little higher each week to see what all I can do.

For the legs, I am going to go with the gentle tapping method with the rolling and slowly increase it from there over time.

Thanks for all the responses.

Don't complain if you die from blood clots.

To reply the first two questions of the thread,

(1) Rollerbar method - I heard of it several years ago that its effect is similar to certain skin cosmetics treatment in changing the skin surface. But in MA hard conditioning, its effect is to change the contour of bones. It is used to make sharp bone edge rounder, for example, on the shin bone. I agree with the effect. However, I do not carry out such training as it is too much work for me. I only hit the bones, as hitting is the main method used in hard conditioning.

(2) Sand bucket - I frankly have not heard of it. Again I speculate that it is a strength training exercise (lifting weight). Strengthening our muscles is certainly necessary for hard conditioning.

when you are healthy smack yourself with a stick. when you have concussion from sparring, you cannot have any shocks or impacts, so you roll with the stick instead, and you rub your head against a wall. the two methods are complementary with each other.

iron body is light tapping just like iron palm, it follows daoist sword smithing concepts of tempering.

gentle tapping yourself with stick or rubber hammer is a common exercise for old Chinese people, theres nothing dangerous unless you go full retard
