Iron Palm Question

[Jada]

Hi all !

I have a question about the bags used for Iron Palm. I just went through it tonight and would like to practice when not in class. Should I buy a bag ? If so, where would I buy one and should it be filled with sand or the other items I hear about ? Is there a certain size it should be ? I didn't get to really ask about it for home use. Just wondering what would be best.

Thanks
Jada

I went to an art store bought some canvas, and like 18 lbs of mung beans and made it myself.

go to an indian food store-they have basmati rice in canvas baggs, you might want to double them up, nut they have zippers and handy carrying straps-for those Kung-Fu guys who are on the go!

I went through the 100-day Iron Palm course under Sifu John Clayton in 2003. He told me to use a rice bag filled with sand. I used fine sand from the sand trap of a city golf course and wrapped the bag with many layers of duct tape to prevent cutting the hands. After 50 days, I cut the bag and replaced the sand with iron pellets that I bought from Home Depot. I hope that this helps you.

But please don't steal sand from a public amenity! I'm sure you can pick some up at Home Depot along with your iron pellets.
