Forearm and body conditioning for Chinese martial arts. This training is best practised with a training partner, however hitting a stationary object lightly at first and gradually building up to a more powerful strike can condition the striking weapons when a partner is not available. Correct placement of the limb is important when doing these exercises and the pole should not be hit directly with bone.

  • Pitbull continued.. if this was painful it means that i would not be training properly and that im going too hard for my current level. Thanks for your question. have a good day and best of luck on your path to mastery. Will add however, that becuase i didnt feel any pain does not mean that the feeling in my arms is gone. my arms are very sensitive. I need them to be for push hands and talking hands practise. the internal way does not damage the body.

  • Genuine honest question...do you feel pain after that?

  • @pacificpitbull Hi Pacificpitbull. I remember my taekwondo teacher many years ago tell me that the point to striking hard objects was to not be bothered by the pain even though you feel it. That comment shows me, now years later, that due to the training methods he was practising he was not developing iron body. I didnt feel pain doing this. the whole point of doing iron body is too toughen the tissues so the force doesnt go into your body. If this was painful i wouldnt have done it.

  • nice conditioning,keep it up. Some don't realize the work it takes to strengthen your bones. Ignore the crap comments.

  • @billybee2911 thanks mate i appreciate the compliments. I ignored stupid comments for years but decided some people talk out of there ass and needed to be told. :). besides I really enjoy outwitting meatheads these days. lol

see all

  • @finnurth This comment from you was lost somehow. Cheekybastard29, I was never questioning your training, I was just giving a humble advice to SlyRoogon to his question. I did not realize that people were not allowed to take part in the comments. Please feel free to remove my comments if I am out of line. I totally agree with you, a good teacher is a must. I personally graded last time with this Sensei, in his dojo: see /watch?v=a0JerGLU6GA

    @finnurth Of course mate...but how do you know that I didnt. your unwanted advice is sound but you assume too much. Keep your opinions and your exclamation marks to yourself and not on my channel in future please. Iv already explained some of my training methods in my other posts. Please Read them. I have clips coming very soon on how I trained this.

  • @finnurth i agree with Finnurth, but i would also say.. more than anything,.find a teacher who has achieved the result. good luck brother.

  • this is great, and respect to you sir; but you can't strengthen your groin; solar plexus; throat; nose; eyes or temples.

  • @SlyRoogon You should go way softer at it in the beginning. Do not hit so hard, hit with much lower force for the first few months! (not days or weeks). Gradually build up your tolerance without damaging your body at such a young age. Do not overdo it, take it as a 3 year project to achieve a level of conditioning that you can be proud of, but remember, as with all training, that you will then have to continue the practice on a regular basis if you don't want to loose it!

  • how long did it take you to reach that level? And what did you start doing? I am curious as I have witnessed several methods that work, some faster than others

  • @cheekybastard29, I used to do pankration,and now I'm studying some Silat.. But I appreciate all martial arts,cheers my friend.

  • i do it for the 360 degree defence for krav maga
