    Iron fists is a form of ancient Shaolin Kung Fu. Students of iron fist train their fists through repeated damage to the bones and skin in the hands. As the hand builds up calluses and muscle, it becomes harder and more powerful. A kung fu master wielding iron fists can break bricks in one punch.

      I have seen this but i don't think a human hand can break bricks no matter how much people train.
      The bones in our hands are very frail and easy to break and they can't get harder at all and if we hit stuff repeteadly like this we will only get hurt.
      Iron fist is a term used for fighters with powerfull punches who can KO an oponent,not break bricks.
      This is the type of stuff we see in movies but this is not reality.

    I'm late to the comments, but I've been doing Iron Palm for about 10 years. You should be gradually increasing the training, and using Dit Da Jow before and after each training session. The gradual stress and healing is what increases bone and skin density. Doing it at an accelerated rate like this can cause permanent damage and arthritis. Be careful, and remember that if it hurts too bad then you need to rest and heal before continuing.

    I lived in Asia for 24 years and trained in Iron Hand in a Temple environment for a number of years, but it took the full 24 years to train the hand properly. We had a lot of strengthening methods over the years, ranging from a large wok with gravel in that would be heated and striking it. Iron sand in bags to strike. Similar to Makawara training with rope around wood. There was one long bag with ball bearings in. Hanging large diameter bamboo. Hitting the training areas with a rolled bunch of wooden chopsticks. Hitting rush mats on the floor or over logs, plus lots more. Always, but always we would start and finish by heating our hand (we only trained our right dominant hand/fist because the left was for grabbing) over charcoal and then dunking the hand into warmed Chinese herb solutions made by the Sifu. This had to be done regularly and constantly massaging the hand to prevent serious joint problems now and in the future. It had to be built up in stages so the bones, tissue, ligaments, etc., could thicken until we could easily punch through bricks, break a coconut with the back of the fist and tiles with the palm. I didn’t train the palm, only knuckles, back of the fist/hand and inside wrist/thumb joint area. The Chinese balm is crucial to not damaging the bones and tissue and it would toughen the hand and joints. Some Chinese KungFu actors used to only do press-ups on knuckles and then sandpaper the callouses to show more, but they didn’t have the bone density and thickness that came from striking, but looked cool. Our knuckles swelled and grew to large size over the years. Interesting videos you have. Well done.

      Porcelain for velocity and explosive power (it's a lot more brittle, yes, but if you don't have the speed and explosive power, if and when it breaks, it will cut you)
      Bricks for the overall, you see, the thing with a brick is that you got to be able to hit like a hammer, but with enough speed.

    Very interesting and entertaining video. I did notice that you stuck out your thumbs to balance your body 4:15 but that also takes away some of the pressure from your knuckles. Put those thumbs back into your fist soldier! Yeah I definitely wouldn't recommend doing this for most people. That was pretty intense to do all that in one week especially since you started with soft knuckles to breaking real boards and tile(though I suspect they're probably scored but still pretty hard for someone who never trained their knuckles before). Lots of people look at that tile and think that it's so thin that would be a piece of piss to break but tile is obviously really hard and they're heavy for a reason. Great job, now put some ice on those hands I think they need a vacation. lol

    Hey My Guy!
    You clearly have the heart to train and give it your all! In my opinion, you should put that heart towards movements that your body is designed to do, and build your condition internally.
    I think that usually people train with herbs, and practice gradually over years, combining micro fractures in the hands with qi gong in the body to harmonize ones internal condition. The way I was taught, Iron Fist originated as a method to cripple one hand into a club for self defense, and monks changed this technique from a crippling practice to one of healing because people who did this died much younger from illness.
    If you decide to continue this practice for yourself, or portray it to others, please practice under the direct guidance of a master who can help you train in a way that is balanced for your whole condition.
    All the best,
    Tyler

      I agree with you that breaking a board against the grain so cleanly and straight is suspect, and it is extremely difficult. Breaking porcelain or brick is more likely to be less difficult to break than soft pine boards against the grain.
      I don't recall any martial arts breaking demonstrations where practitioners break boards against the grain; have you?

      Please don't take this personally but, I feel that rather than that it's truly amazing what kind of damage one can do to one's own hands when they simply enough just put their mind to slamming their hands against a rock on day 6 after 5 previous days of what is essentially hand abuse on other way too hard objects...7 days...way too hard of objects...not a wise decision but surely one that can have real and maybe unfortunately lasting consequences. I would hope that no one will follow in the footsteps of anyone doing the sort of supposed iron palm "training" we're seeing in this video here.

    In my experience the better training is hitting semi-hard objects or water like because flesh is semi hard and absorb impacts. Many times your punches and kicking don't damage or you end in fracture because hitting flesh is pretty different than hitting hard objects. It's more important know how to dig your punches and kicks into flesh and bone than breaking wood.
    Knuckle push ups are useful too in order to correct proper alienation of the wrist.

    To counteract the loss of mobility on the hand joints, you can make prestidigitation with "chinese steel balls" that are made to this kind of exercise: they are recommended to help old people with arthritis.
    And this 7 days in a row program... I don't know, I think that the best way is put some days between the training days, to allow your body to recover.
    As I remember from my Hung Gar days, the recovery also hurt.

    cool shit man! The Makiwara (rope on a wooden beam) is actually a little flexible so you can generate more power without breaking your hand. It's a little different to your improvised one. Also a little advice for hitting it: don't pull your hand away immediatly, so the force that you are releasing with the punch comes back to your hand, it is more effective. watch steven wonderboy thomsons video on handconditioning it gives you a little more indepth explaination

    I've been training the dagger technique for almost 15 years, can I still train iron fist or did my bone structure shifting make it impossible? Because I'd love to mix them with the gun technique to create a new style called
    "spear fishing"
    My biggest issue is I'm a little low on power (bigger body kinda slows you down) my dagger style is worth it, the gun style adds a small kick, but the follow through loses too much energy

    You've taken pictures from Ikemiyagi Masaaki sensei for your day 3. He's been one of my teachers in Okinawa !
    His master, Yagi Meitoku sensei, created the Meibukan Goju-ryu school, and he was the legitimate heir of Miyagi Chojun, who created the Goju-ryu system from Naha-te. Yagi Meitoku was called the "Makiwara breaker" in his time.
    I've also practiced Wu Zu Quan from Fujian for several years.
    I fully understand what you've been through. But you shouldn't develop any arthritis if you strictly respect an equal recovering time. You also shouldn't try to chain hits so quickly. Having longer sessions with as many reps just lets you recover a little bit between hits. You could also train in much longer sessions. We usually train for 30-45 minutes on a Makiwara, just for hands, before training other parts (arms/shoulders).
    We use to train with jars too, like described in the Bubishi (武備志), but not only with sands : we can mix it with little rocks, and few of us put dry beans instead of sand inside the jars. We also have a bamboo braid to train Nukite (fingertips).
    I've seen Fujianese Shaolin monks training against piles of paper hanging from trees. They used to train until their knuckle were bloody.
    If you're losing mobility on knuckles, it's porbably because your muscles aren't flexible enough, and the sign of a lack of training in complete martial art system, making you clench your fists several hundreds of time per day.
    You've also shown pictures from Higaonna Morio sensei, who's reknown for hitting concrete pillars. Very few of us practice regularly at this level.
    I'm very admirative about Pangai Noon based practitioners, like Uechi-ryu, and from what i've seen, they're the most trained when talking about hand conditioning. They're hardly overall trained, and every bone of their hand has been reinforced after multiple breaks. I can quote Kiyohide Shinjo sensei. I've never had the privilege to train under him, but i've seen with my own eyes what he was able to do.
    I can only wish you to have productive training sessions. Never stop to become a warrior ;)
