hi, does anyone here study the iron hand ? i have a few questions. first, i have been training iron hand for about 4 years with my sifu. i am interested in knowing different methods of iron hand training. just to broaden my knowledge. my sifu does not advocate rupping the hand in iron,or mineral dust. he says that dit jow is all that is needed. i do make my own. does anyone feel that contact with rust,or minerals actually increases the training ? also, what does anyone know about a guy named james lacey,and 18 doaist palms ? i would love to share ideas here,so please write i will post this on other forums at this site. if this is wrong,then please tell me as i do not wish to offend. respectfully, fanwoo
