Iron Palm with Egg

I'll take an Iron Palm with Egg please. LOL --This break of a 2x8x16 block while holding an egg, displays both hard and soft energy (as well helps to develop control). Where Yin (soft) is used to issue Yang (hard) force. I have never seen any system/school do this break with concrete (others use pine boards). I am not saying I am the first to accomplish this break; only that to my knowledge I am the first to put it on video.

[ According to the TV show "Sports Science"; it only takes 10 lbs psi of force to break an egg and 3500 lbs psi to break a patio block! ]

Not really an iron palm if you use the back of y our hand, as at that point, its the back of your hand, and not in fact your palm...maybe Im confused...

[duchampscomb]

Semantics, Iron palm is also Iron Hand. This meaning gets lost in the Chinese translation of Tiet Sao. As you condition all parts of the hand not just the "palm"...

[duchampscomb]

Ok, so I just did this on the first try with a patio stone and a fresh egg. Big deal.

lol people think this is easy when its not

[skidz187]

Its all about relaxation.When you tense up you actually lose power.Not many people do this kind of break unless i'm mistaken this was an ancient way of practicing which forces you to have to relax and not tense up.Nicely done.I bet you also do the cotton fist to.

youre not human

[duchampscomb]

Breaking the block with the back of the hand is easy. Gripping the egg and having body control as you break the block is the hard part. As the hand wants to contract Involuntarily. --If it is so easy then why is no one else doing this break? I'd like to see you do it Sir... If you can.

[UFBvoodoochild]

ugh now do this with a tight grip on the egg, all that occurs is a loosening of the grip on the egg as you strike, so none of the impact is transfered to it.
