Best place on earth at times. Teacher's are great the view is so beautiful. Peaceful
Jook Lum training! Beautiful!
Thank you for showing us this technique
One of the best Iron Palm footage I have seen to date, execution, fluent moves and gracefulness, outstanding and masterful. Has taken my knowledge to another level to train using bamboo..
Bamboo is a wonderful training partner.
Thank you for uploading this,its awesome to see real martial art master doing what he does..a real treat,please post some more!
Excelente treinamento 👏👏👏🙏
Thanks for sharing
real gongfu and not flower wushu... very nice !!!
I practice a mixture of martial arts and I like to incorporate internal wudang elements. I was not aware wudang practicioners did iron bone, but the other day I did some exercises on my own with tree trunks in my yard as the man in the video, I would do the breath and push my hands down guiding qi inward to my dan tian. I have very little practical experience but I do understand the concepts and hopefully can develop into the wise peaceful warrior I'm practicing to be. mind body and spirit. thank you for this video!
Find a qualified teacher. Do what he says. Or you run real of genuine injury.
There is no quick easy method. The fastest practice would still require a minimum of three years. Take your time. And most importantly be consistant.
Good luck.
Chong Long, thank you very much to promote culture and Wudang martial arts. You are doing very good work brother. See you soon.
incredible music!
this was really nice. soooo good to see some real iron palm from wudang and not some meditation "internal" nonsense, but the true palm skills.
Finally a video worth watching, nice and informative, well executed. Thank you
Joe Delgado Thank you Joe! We went to another place and stepped by this small gathering of bamboo (There is not too much bamboo in wudang). So Master showed me some training methods with bamboo. I just thought immediately: "Wait, let me switch on my camcorder."
Great Demo of Wu Dang Martial Arts techniques on Bamboo ! It would be nice to have a bamboo forest handy . Or a Bamboo Dummy :)
use the trees like hitters. brilliant.
thanks a lot for sharing! your videos are priceless ! :)
@youlihan Thank you very much for your comment. Thousand things for thousand of different people. But the number of people like you and me, who love and admire real martial 'arts' with a knowledge that goes far beyond physical acitivity and are truely empirical based for their pracitcal use, is rising. So just let's keep going and promote the real thing! Jia You, Brother!

I usually hate Chinese music but this one is beautiful, as it the bamboo forest and the movements.
@tao123chi and @bernardwikarsa thank you for your nice comments. You both are really encouraging. We always try to show kind of the real thing. It is not our intention to confuse people about what wudang kungfu is or mystify it as something superhuman. If you want to have strong palm, hit the bamboo. If you hit to hard and without structured guidance, you'll harm yourself seriously.
@james1421 external hardening and conditioning has a very old tradition in wudang's internal martial arts, but the methods are very different from those of shaolin and waijia. Conditioning mostly don't hurt, don't harm and should feel comfortable, Otherwise it's done wrong. Conscious development of qi and qi control is always a big part of it. It's never only physical. I think if somebody wants to hit things, even only for the training purpose, one would better have a good strong skin.
I can visualize the ancients conditioning themselves for combat this way...
great
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Uussshhh
Do not get me wrong I have the upmost respect for these guys.
For sure, it wll take long time to do this kind of exercise...
I hope wudang won't get commercialized/exploited like the Shaolin, Otherwise, it'll just be watered down.
It gets foreign students in exchange of money, so is already commercialised.
@@Tricroman - True, & sad. However, at least seeing coverage of what's taught at Wudang Mountain, we get to see where Tai Chi Quan was really invented. Not Chen Village. I admit I was first surprised. It was almost comparable to a child finding out Santa Claus never really existed.
People gotta eat.
Amazing
Thank you! Always relax and do it slowly but regularly when you want to try it. Daoist conditioning is not supposed to deform the palm, to endure pain during practice or after or whatsoever... Keep calm, relax and stay healthy but slowly get strong! Bless you!
thanks for sharing
It seems like this is an ideal training ground for these practices, but I do not have access to such an area. Do you have recommendations on alternative ways to preform these conditioning exercises?
Yes any trees will work just use 20% power until you are able to use more
So, does the bamboo become strong after such training???
Well, the bamboo would get stronger as long as it lives. But also more stiff. That could happen to us too, so we try to keep flexible. Actually the stiffness of dry old trees is a good image that is used in daoist philosophy and martial arts often. It is a sign for being old and stiff and a sign that the end is near. Well, the nature of trees is still different from the one of the human body.
Did you know that bamboo doesn't expand or grow to the side? However it get out of the ground will always define its extent. Growing up will always get thinner and thinner. Even in years there is no growth, only getting harder and harder.
😂
what is "thronging"?
Bamboo palm. Really superior to iron palm, imo, for application and overall benefit. It was done with a river stone too.
It was done? Well, you should go out and do it. Other young trees work as well.
How does Kung fu help in awakening? Also are there living daoist sages?
Well it all depends on the perspective. Daoist practices are real and some practics pierce through the field of western science into the world of spirituality and other dimensions or magic. Some daoist are amazing individuals, know a lot or have good skills or sensitivity for things which others don't have. But: may I ask about your motivation to ask a question like this? Kungfu helps with awakening in many senses, but this again depends on the perspective. What is awakening for you? For me this can be a lot of different things or if it is one phenomena, then it is huge and wide and includes multi-dimensional aspects. But well, my little words responding here can't meet at all my own requirements of a good answer to your question. I would still need a better idea of your motivation and also more clear questions to reply. The problem though is that I'm kin of afraid that I won't be able to answer briefly at all. Maybe you should contact me via E-Mail and book a private lesson online, so I could tell you much more in detail.
Enjoy yourself and be well my friend! Bye

Thank you for this wonderful video. I am defiantly gonna hit the bamboo forest in Hawaii. Thank you brother for perpetuating the Wudang Dragon Gate lineage. Always a pleasure to see Sifu Wang. Would love to train with him and you. One Day.
Aloha,
Ramic
Thank you for your kind words!
You are always welcome! "One day" we'll hopefully meet each and exchange...
Xiexie! bye
Ben alias Wang Chong Long
Aloha Ben,
I too look forward to the honour of meeting you also. I started training in the bamboo forest after seeing Sifu vid. Feels great to let go and fan jin. Also bagua is so fun in bamboo forest! I have some practice videos on u tube under my name Ramc Santiago. If you are ever in Oahu Hawaii look me up.

Aloha Ahui Ho(till we meet agin)
punch sand also train palm, as long as you break the bone shells and reinforce it by taking rest and eating food with calcium will strengthened your palm.
My Kumu(Sifu) once sugested for iron palm first hit bags of soy beans for 1 month. Then switch to mung beans then 1 month later switch to lead pellets... Mahalo(thank you) for the nutrition tip, I really did not think about that. Defiantly gonna hit some sand. I practice every morning by the beach... Curious where does your Iron Palm come from? Aloha Brother Ishmadi.
Remember hitting it alone and feeling the pulsating pain is 1 thing, eating the food for recovery and repairing the damage end and patience behind all that effort. And the exposure to the training be kept consistent coz if you stopped for like a period of time without exposing it time and time again you may revert atrophy at that area which is like resetting it to square 1, coz human body was made to remember something it exposed to and recover or build a recovery system around it.
Always wondered if there was actually anything you could practice Jin movements on guess there is.
Swing doors are good
good
Even a great master has to just hit stuff sometimes. Internal and external are a part of the one.
I prefer to have yin and yang in life.
chong long i want ask you something
you have a mail ?
Seeing this makes me wish I had a master to teach and guide me>_
Well, why shouldn't your try to find one then? If you want to study with Master Wang, you could enroll to his school in China or learn from one of his disciples or instructors. www.wudang-kungfu.net
Wang Chong Long Men I don't have the money to travel I wish I did and the only place that teaches martial arts near does karate,judo,tai chi, and kickboxing the only one I would be interested in tai chi but I want to learn from an actual wudang master
These situations aren't unusual. Well, very often schools won't be able to provide a teaching which would compensate the whole experience of a training in Wudangshan. Often you won't even be able to find a school that teaches Wudang Kungfu at all, apart of Taijiquan. The taijiquan of wudangshan is just as well pretty different from Yang family style or Chen family style and the others. But maybe you will be able to find a solution that sorts out your wish of authentic wudang teaching. I'd be happy to support you anyways. greetings
I wonder how this kind of training would affect one into old age, say 80s, 90s, 100+, are iron palm practitioners able to maintain this training for their entire lives? Does it prevent long term conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis or does the constant beating of the hands eventually start breaking them down?
+Robert Taylor They are able to keep practicing, with the correct routine. The thing about iron palm is that it doesn't take as much maintenance as you'd think. Your flesh grows much thicker, and that doesn't change with age. They must also soak their hands in Chinese medicine after, to prevent bone damage or bruising,
Robert another thing, arthritis is caused by more major trauma. iron bone training helps prevent arthritis
NoOffensePies can you elaborate on the Chinese medicine and soaking practices? Is there something that's comparable, low cost, readily and simply made from ingredients in American stores? How should a non kung fu practitioner approach this training differently?

Who needs a wooden dummy when you got a grove of bamboo trees.
Plz understand, Wooden Dummy isnt meant for just conditioning the hands.. It has much more deeper training methods & skills to acquire.😀😀
Now that's real kung fu not Jake mace
Well, yes this is real work out. We recommend to use much less intensity when this kind of workout becomes a part of your schedule. Wudang style conditioning should never hurt, deform or do any kind of harm to the practitioner. Instead it should nurture and feel nice. Master Wang is giving the impression that the normal workout is tough like this, but it isn't by far. Especially the outside of the palms and the insides of the arms should be protected and taken care of more. best regards and good training.

Why is he so angry with the bamboo?
jrepnin haha、nono this is gongfu
@james1421 I guess, it is not necessary. If I get you right, true internal training wouldn't ever intend physical use or fight. Internal martial arts have the problem to empasize on internal cultivation and therefore need longer to become as advanced for the use of serious attacks and more important the defense of serious attacks. With internal training you can do a lot to improve your external training, but as far is I know good chinese kungfu (internal or external) is based on a good balance.
that defenseless tree did not stand a chance
Places like this must have had tons of mosquitos.. his Iron body training was simulteneously going on
this video doesn't show a conditioning skill, but more the use of the palm and also the fajing of three of the main energies Peng, Ji and An. What you see here is the training for maintaining the palm skills and developing its practical use. It's all freestyle and like this not part of the traditional training schedule. The video lacks structure which traidtional training never does. But freestyle is always bridging theorie and practice.
Not sure why it is necessary to harden the skin externally, surely with true internal training this is not necessary !
Onetwothree No you need this kind of physical training. Internal training doesn't make up for it at all it's only additional. Just like water doesn't stop your hunger. Both develop different qualities.
Hilarious!
Study some Chinese history brothers. And look around for other training techniques. I have been doing Iron Palm for over 40 years and have never come across this before...
