  • Usu ..more training more strong you are become to master 4 years go to mountain.

  • hey man im not being a pric or bein arogant but it trains you to have a lot tougher core if you have someone tie a rounded rock up and hang it over a tree and have them hit you in the stomach with it as you do sit-ups

  • I bet at first, the iron forearm training hurts like a bitch.

  • Its my first day training with Iron Body (had a friend who trained with it for a few years) and fingertip blows... I'm amazed at what can be achieved. I'm also heavily into my weight training hypertrophy-wise so I guess that just means extra padding for the Iron Body workouts. Great video as well, I now have another activity to do after my 6 mile forest hikes.

  • @1rishShaman - On a side note after re-watching the video... your arms are huge! Would hate to be on the receiving end of a blow from you. Excellent conditioning by the way.

    Peace,

    - Paul M.

  • Do you ever notice how the quality of the comments always deteriorates after the first five or six?I If I ever post a video on You-tube I'm disabling the comments after the first six.I liked the video,you seem like a dedicated individual. I'm so tired of hearing about the "spiritual side" it's a MARTIAL art,

  • aoouch!!

  • umm... ouch? i hit a tree half as hard and i bruise in pain

  • by the way, nice work in the vid

  • love your videos, true martial spirit. What do you think of weight training in martial arts? Alot of Wing Chun guys say it hinders them in various ways, is it the same for Xingyi and the other internal arts? Do you weight train?

  • @mertles02 i was only 14 in this vid, so i was kinda skinny. I actually do strength train, but not with weights. I do pull ups, grip training, Spring Chest expander, push ups, and occasionally i will use dumbells , but there is a whole world out there for strength training without weights. I got bulked up to 170 of muscle before, but i didnt like it. I had to eat all the time, take protein shakes. Now im 160, fit , lean, and a bit muscular and happy. be comfortable

  • It would have been more impressive if you left out the first part, or split it with your own back hand or palm. Perhaps that'd be a tip for a video you could do in the future?

  • in the arm conditioning routine, you can see from your final strike that you are hitting the inner side of your forearm on the tree. You have one of your main arteries that run up the inside of the arm, therefore your conditioning should try to aim on the top/outer part of the forearm, and not the innerside or bottom side.

    good vid though :)

  • i get sad when i hit a tree so ill just hit my wall XD

  • nice work. train hard

  • wow he right , his arms really are long!

    i wonder how much they compare to mine , im pretty sure is are longer by maybe an inch or more

  • they are really long :'D

  • nice video man

    You have long arms whats your reach ?

    You would be good with boxing

  • eh, i was 14 or so in this video , during my "awkward" phase, ive grown into my body a bit better. and yeah, my reach isnt too bad either.

  • how do you get your midsection tough to withstand body blows? I've heard using medicine balls, and I've seen something called an iron stick, which is a stick of canvas with beans/orgravel/or steel shot inside. I don't know what's safe and what's not. Cool video by the way

  • the best way is to get a teacher or do a TON of reserach from books about "iron shirt" training. Be prepared for alot of Qigong and getting slapped and hit alot. I think Mantak chia has some good books.

  • I've heard about Dit Da Jow, but what does it do really? Is it like vital for people doing this training? Just wondering :- P

  • you can do it without the jow........but you are more prone to develope clots and blockages.

  • Dit Da Jow is to prevent / alleviate bruising and stagnation of blood. When you develop a bruise (Which you will.. from hitting things) it is a localized swelling, which if hit repeatedly, won't heal properly and can cause long-term damage.

    Dit da jow (with massaging) prevents stagnation of blood and bruising, and allows quicker recovery.

  • @ThisGuy9508 Let me add, that dit da jow is a normally a mixture of herbs left in an alcoholic liquid (mostly a very high concentrate of alcohol), so that the herbs could age and mix and then a synergies would occur and give better results than the single herbs themselves. 

  • 20,000 views, hell yeah!

  • Find me that interview and I will admit it, otherwise it's pretty insane to believe chuck would lose. Chuck went undefeated in full contact karate for like 6 years strait. Just look up the records on google. Bruce never competed.

  • true, but...just because you dont compete doesnt mean that you cannot be a deadly fighter. Having multiple sparring partners, private challenge matches, street fighting, self-defense,....... and these are things Bruce was heavily involved. The fact is, you can never know who would win unless they actually fought

  • your arms thinner than a stick :D you must drink milk....

  • i was only 14 in this vid amigo

  • back in the 70's I taught Bruce lee the counter tech on hitting thats where he got he's box style from!!

  • Read all the books written by people that have true lineage in karate and judo. Everyone outside of kids that watch martial arts movies know that Bruce Lee was an actor first and a fighter second. Even the people on the set said that Chuck Norris bested him during their sparring sessions. Chuck Norris was undefeated in open karate tournaments for 5-6 years strait. Bruce Lee was an actor first and a martial artist second.. Big difference friend.

  • Funny, in an interview somewhere here on youtube, Chuck Norris admitted that Bruce wasbetter and would have won if they would have fought.

  • @HermannTheGreat have to agree, Bruce Lee was a pioneer of sorts, but not the best fighter, just very very very famous

  • @waterIsis I agree that Bruce Lee was not a world-class fighter on par with proffesionals, but I would say that we was a good fighter in the streets. From what I recall, he got into ALOT of street-fights and sparred often. So, maybe he isnt world-class, but I still wouldnt want to fight Bruce Lee in a dark alley.

  • @randyds5 yes I would agree with that for sure. my only issue is when people classify Bruce Lee as the best of the best forever and ever lol...there have been a lot of great masters that couldve whipped him- everyone has someone better than them at some point....bigger, younger, faster whatever Bruce Lee is viewed to be so much of an icon that people don't really think about the fact that there are and have been people better...this is in fact not a knock against Lee at all. its just life

  • Comment removed

  • Bruce Lee was never that great of a fighter. It's common knowledge he got his butt kicked by Chuck norris on the set of return of the dragon..

    Have fun with all that long term arthritis damage caused by hitting hard objects for years.

  • where did you get tht info from lol? you say bruce lee wasnt tht good of a fighter. but when you ask those guys opinions they will totally disgaree with you "No-name"

  • bruce lee is concidered the best martial artist of all time stupid

    and that was a movie

    you know things that show people flying

  • Wow you are an idiot

  • im an idiot? your the one who thought the one who trained the other person got beat by him

    and also the guy who they had to slow the camera down for him to be caught on camera lost

  • Keep dreaming

  • haha wow

  • Do you even know what arthritis is you retard???

  • actually, if you train properly, the original way with energy and proper techniques like in iron palm training you arent going to hurt yourself, ironbody training was designed to strengthen and toughen joints, bones and muscle, unless ur an idiot you arent going to hurt yourself.

  • Stupid.

    I hope you figure that out before you do irreversible damage.

  • jesus did u drink a lot of milk to make sure your bones got enough calcium when they were recovering

  • very beautiful

  • this guys pretty good

  • More like Skinny Stick Boy beating himself up. Try getting on a Power Lifting routine for a year or two and doing something positive for that pipe cleaner Starvin Marvin body of yours.

  • hmm i was 14 in this clip, im 21 now. And yeah, youve got a real attitude man. I like your videos showing how hard you train. Oh wait, you dont. I dont have to talk trash on the internet, I train hard. Peace, and ahmitoefoe my confused patrone.

  • don't worry about him randy, it seems that fool doesn't understand that power does not come in size.

  • No offence but every martial artist should take pride in himself sure. However we should show no sign of arogance no matter how hard we've trained.You may have trained yourself physicaly but you seem to have neglected the spirtual side that is Martial Arts.

  • Correct. I always say that if you want to master your art you must always stay open to philosophy. Without philosophy and spirituality, there is only senseless violence.

    Badmouthing is clearly a sign that you're not cut out to be a martial artist.

  • @Kain9909 And you got all of that from a 30 second video of him doing 2 exercises? What a stupid little fag you are.

  • @Kain9909 Really man? More of that spiritualistic "true martial artists are saintly figures" bs? Dude, grow up, seriously. I agree, ALL people should strive to be humble, not just martial artists. But this guy, Randy, he doesn't seem to be a boastful prick. And quite frankly, the continued stereotype of martial artists as striving to be wonderful, saintly figure is an irritating and infantile stereotype. Most people just want to survive a mugging. Get real.

  • Lol, if you think size matters. Look at Bruce Lee [Not one of the best, but defently not one of the worst] He wasn't such an impressive sight to behold, 'till you seen him throw a punch or seven [>>] This dude is probably some fatass 40 year old virgin that sits on his couch all day eating potato chips and looking up how to perform the yin technique... bzzt fail -__-;

  • bruce lee > all

  • lol......yeah , bruce is a great martial artist

  • Yeah, finger jab, groin kick kick, hook, roundhouse kick combo owns!!!! bruce got the deadliest combos!!!

  • fuck you nunit4life. i think it was cool.

  • Kung Fu requires no muscle .. but he is far from doing it the proper way .. plus you don't need to put your resting arm that far from the other one, you are lose 0.5 of speed and energy.  You should practice the form slowly with breathing you will get a better alignment, In a real fight even if you get Iron arms you will get beaten up by someone with basic Siu Lim Tao knowledge and proper alignment. Keep aligned and breath if u didn't. Do you have a dmy? If nt make one and learn 118 on the dummy

  • as long as u do it everyday  u will acheve it!

  • nice , but it still wont make you the best fighter.

  • never said it would :)

  • ive tried it , it made me hella slow, dunno why:(

  • you probably made yourself too stiff. It deffinately can do that. Thats where tai chi and yoga come in handy

  • You are right, as a fellow practitioner of body conditioning I agree. I take Kung Fu, Taekwondoe and Muay Thai, the conditioning is my own choice. This tends to stiffen your body so I do forms and 1000 punches to keep my speed toned.

  • To keep your speed must hit like water. Do not use force just normal swing of your hand concentrating on your elbow as a pivotal point of movement.

  • best iron body i did was with fukien white crane...the main form sam chien, i use a bag full of heavy beans so when i get hitit covers alot of surface space...i used to do what u did but i notice it only conditioned some parts and didn't train everywhere..find someone who can hit u, its easier

  • I'm training my fists and forearms but the only problem is that i get burns sometimes... You know anything to prevent that?

  • Your probably over doing it? Start slowly with low-reps. Also massage the area before and after practice. YOu can also do this training with long sleeves. The skin dosent have to make contact

  • I'm gonna try doing it with bandages now. By the way, the treestomping was awesome! ;-) keep it up

  • Wrong skin must make contact so it gets swollen and rebuilt. The key is in a proper herbal mix you apply before and after .. I am talking about di da jow. If your master can't make it just search google for the receipt and buy ingredients from a online Chinese supplier that is what I do .. :) hope this helps

  • true. but in the beginning stages, no. This is a slow process. slowly ease into it. And i think everyone knows about Dit da jow

  • As a fellowpractitioner- I would also recomend statind with a WING CHUNGTREE PAD- it is actualy used for wooden dummies- but it works well around real trees too- they usualy cos between 9.50 an 22.50

  • I hope you were using a liniment...

  • I uase liniments when needed. But massage and qi gong is usually enough

  • to make the body less vulnerable to injury sustained from blocking attacks or recieving them

  • wat sort of traing did u start of wid, like wat would u recommend me start hittin to make my arm liek that ?

  • I reccomend you get into a martial arts school with a strong traditional background that trains hard. If this isnt possible, I reccomend you train "Dan tien breathing" for 6 weeeks and continuously after that. Then practice this drill only against a live opponent flesh vs flesh. Do the blocks against a partner in a horse stance. Then move on to a tree. Be sure to get plenty of calcium and massage the arms before and after practice. A good dit da jow might be useful too.

  • cheers

  • hmm you look self taught

  • hmmm.....well you would be wrong.

  • indeed i would...

    tell me, do you find self taught Martial artist to have less of an advantage then taught martial arts

  • deffinately. When you are self-taught, you have to learn everything the hard way and often develope bad habits that can take years to undo. Only after ahving been taught by a good teacher for many years, then you can branch off on your own with your basic understanding. The only advantage self-taught martail artists have, is the ability to learn from everyone and not be confined. Although many martial artists dont realize, that can be achieved regardless.

  • nice man ;)

    but what do you start on if you are new at this?

  • daily chi kung training. Mainly dan tien breathing for the first 6 weeks then move on from there. Its a long process

  • chi kung?

  • yes...google it.

  • I will try it :)

  • Not bad, not bad at all :)

  • :) much thanks

  • i also iron body train it hurt at first but when you keep training youl love it

  • This can be true. Much like weight lifting. It will hurt at first, but in time you will grow stronger.

  • God bless

  • ok thanks

  • is there anything i can do to strethen my knees?

  • Besides Qigong training (I reccomend you read "Iron shirt" by mantak chia if interested)..........Jump-ropi­ng,practcing one legged squats,and leg presses will strengthen the knee tissues. Also, be sure to have an adeqate intake of calcium,zinc,and glucosamin/chondroiton

  • is it possible to like burst a vain from training?

  • if done improperly......then probably so.

  • I'm actually very behind, but I guess 18 is still young.

    I also use a hard wooden speaker to hit my fists and bones, if you can also tell me what is best to hit, that would be great.

    I have a punching bag as well, I was kind of stupid at the beginning and my knuckles are cut and scabbed, but once their healed I'll go back to hittin them again but with wrap on.

    Thank you so much man.

  • Randy, bro if you can help that would be awesome!

    Yes thanks, I am drinking as much milk as I can and I usually use my nunchaks to hit my shins and forearms, but I know it's just the beginning.

    The next day I can feel it sometimes, but then it goes away and I know the bones are hardening over time.

    If you can give me any pointers, it would be very appreciated. Thanks bro.

  • I will train hard within mind and body. Why not make the body to the max it can be?

    I truly respect and admire those who have taken advantage of how great and capable the human body can be, like yourself bro.

    Peace be with you.

  • Since I can't really get the help I need from an experienced Qi Gong expert.

    I will follow the Law by German Scientist Julius Wolff, who figured out that if loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading. The Chinese have known this far before Wolff.

  • PM and we can talk. I think I could help you if you are serious

  • HOLY SHIT! That's what I'm talkin bout!

    I know this guy has experience with Wolff's Law!

    I actually now harden bone, but I'm gonna take my time with it!

    Sweet Video!

  • yes take your time, and be sure to eat or supplement with plenty of calcium and qi gong. What is wolfs law?

  • do that every day?

  • 4-6 days a week. Lately ive been slacking because of injuries I sustained during my last fight

  • Cool on the forearms. Just make sure your massaging before and after and I hope that you have some internal training with that to prevent any long term injuries. Good dilligence, keep up the good work. I'm an Iron forearm man myself, 24 years now.

  • Yes I make sure to massage and practice Chi kung as well. WOw! 24 years.....your forearms are probably massive!

  • coglione

  • I cant beleive how much ive grown......I was a little guy..Lol

  • Dude, that looks painful! How long did it take you to get "irony?"

  • It took about 6 months to get my abdominals to withstand the impact. Years and years of forearm training.....

  • That's.. Amazing. O_o you must be really strong!

  • Haha...I was strong before I dislocated my shoulder, ....but Ill build it back up. Hopefully even stronger......like i said on the summarry, this video is old........im 20 now

  • tough,...double tough!!!

  • Yessir
