NOTE: We promised 4 techniques but somehow one last exercise footage was not added so its only 3 techniques and a bonus. Dan will cover it and reshoot in the future along with any other conditioning techniques enough people request for.
When I started, I practiced these arm drills. I almost quit because the pain was so bad. My instructor was thin like me but his arms were like steel. I thought he had broken my arms at my first lesson. I was discouraged and disappointed and thought of quitting. After a week I decided to return and continue working. Now my arms are steel and I love it :)
We are essentially energy so is our increase on the hardening of arms is a mental thing just like getting ripped and working on bars doing calisthenics and with heavy weights using dumbells! All of this is increasing on the muscle memory and thus the impact of the muscle and the power, speed create power, but when you mix speed with hardening or conditioning it augments the power, breaking a brick or a wooden table it will be easier and over time will not hurt! Last year I did arm conditioning having bruises now I don't have any only red skin and the pain is lower and passes faster than having bruises months ago! That's because I did calisthenics for 11 and a half years! Trye calisthenics and some weights to harden your forearm then you will resist the arm conditioning training! It won't hurt as much as if you did not do calisthenic I promise! Start doing planches then pullups!
I'm a first time watcher and a single mother so your videos are very helpful and are very detailed and very easy to understand,I can't wait to start training. I subscribed and got my notifications on.
Man this dude makes me wanna reach for the sky! My pop had his attitude. He never complained. No excuses. This dude doesn't wait for anything. Good man. 😁
Hello Dan - love your work on these instructional videos...I have been studying and practicing the 108 form Yang style Tai Chi Chuan...for about 17 years...What I discovered years ago was that my ability to Punch -came out of nowhere...What I mean is I did not realize what the tai chi had done to the body...I could punch almost (iron railing to wood - trees) anything (it seemed) so long as I remained relaxed...I saw that I had been carrying around so much tension for so many years - and now that the tai chi had had its effect..I was free to punch almost anything ...I have never been attracted to fighting or violence....I find the conditioning of which you speak happens gradually -almost unawares.(if i had attempted to punch anything before the training - I would have broke something - or simply been disabled by pain)..thanks
I've been watching you for a year and im staring to understand the Bruce Lee fighting philosophy, that is very practical but very efficient. I'm very excited. I also read Bruce's daughter explain how she feels his energy and I'd learning from her father even though he's deceased and she doesn't really remember him but she's learning from his leagacy. So am I through you dan
I have a lot of admiration for Dan Lok. He teaches great philosophies as it pertains to life. How to defend yourself physically, as well as financially. A true 21st Century warrior!
Good video techniques work really well i also do it on trees and had to make a wooden dummy from a chair. But gotta do what u can to get better right always gotta find a way
I remember doing this over 25 years ago for a couple of years studying choy li fut. Wow... I love the smell of dit da jow. Brings back some good memories
Great stuff, I really like your presence of being both a business and Martial Arts professional with the focus on proper technique and care to do it safely. Thanks for the great lessons!, Ken.
wish i'd known dit da jow back in 2010 when i was still practicing my martial art (personally i think of it as tactical science, a body of precision knowledge for my tactical aspect), would have saved me from a lot of bruises, gonna go for my local chinese medicine shops next time i can visit one, thanks so much for sharing.
~ For this technique I used a upwards slow rise thrust (elbows only ) with 400 lbs. wieghted resistance. Strike to crush natural coconut while gripping strong apple.
I just started watching your videos. I am 33 and have been studying martial arts since age 4. I have studied many styles, but I have always wanted to study Wing Chun. I did study Pencak Silat for 3 years before working studying it on my own and I still practice. I notice the similarities between Pencak Silat and Wing Chun. I finally found a Wing Chun class and will start studying it soon and I am excited. The partner workout you did in this video I used in Shorin-Ryu Karate.
Hey there Dan, I must say you have..honestly got the cleanest flow I have ever seen.. I know there are subtly many styles of wing chun practitioners...so many. Almost micro diffrences...I pay attention to Aura and style of movement all the time, anytime I spar. But yours is just insane...I have alot of respect for you and your tips. I myself have been training for some years now..wing chun and JKD. Ive studied a few of Bruce's punches and techniques and have been refining them non stop. So again big ups to you man.. Insane technique. Please keep up the vids they're gold! Respect, -Dmitri
Thai boxing helps us out with conditioning and post treatment more than any other martial art. I combined this with my wing chun. Which gave me similar results to you Dan. I wish to point out the, Thai Yoga Massage, which is ALWAYS done after a training session in Thailand as far as I am aware. They use their feet and rub down vigorously the whole body. One of the most important things about conditioning is BLOOD flow. Why you also rub this medicine in. The herbs help, but the stimulation to the muscles, easing their pain thru blood flow will also ADD to conditioning and keep that blood flow at all times. Resisting bruising and abrasions. Massages after training will ease pain and promoting even MORE conditioning. This was a WONDERFUL video Dan. Didnt even know you trained til today!! Thank you brotha!!
I’ve been good about conditioning myself, though I have been neglecting my groin, face, palm, fingers, and back of the hand. This reminded me to do so, so thanks for the reminder!
Hello I’ve started to watch you because I want to learn how to condition my arms etc for Wing Chun as I want this to be my self defence in my security workplace if I need to use it.
Like the Shaolin Temple shirt that the one dude is wearing. Actually have a couple of those. I've also got good jow authentically made, some over thirty years old, but I'll give a shout out to Plum Dragon. They make good stuff. Probably the best you can get off the internet without going to a Chinese herb store.
Good conditioning. I used to use a tree. When qi is exchanged with the tree, it's very different from using my wooden dummy. You can also use the palms on the tree.... good iron palms. And use the jow!!!! Very important!
Great content again. We do that ‘arm hardening ‘ drill from time to time, bon-tan-gan, then other arm, then sometimes 3 straight punches in the middle to change arms. An extra benefit is it helps your turning, power, rooting, body sync, and force production. Holy cow I can’t believe you were hitting that rock, whoa. I have an extra square wall bag with pea gravel in it, maybe I should start with that. I remember in the movie “Fearless” that Huo Win ja’s dad was striking a pad n a table and split the table,...
Dan Lok Not regularly, just a couple times per month, we should do it more. There was a guy I met in the past who did it more often, his forearms felt like the dummy arms! Master Wong had a video about it as well, using a small tree. Maybe I will start practicing it with classmates a couple times per week and make it a habit. Better to do gradually to minimize the bruises, for sure.
Enjoy your video just started watching you I studied Kenpo I like your arm techniques don't have wooden dummy and conditioning I use a BB bag I learnt something watching you thank you again Randy
I once saw a book with old illustrations from Shaolin Temple of stone training. Eventually some monks were said to break stone. There was also a master from Beijing, who moved to Canada, who practiced one hand on a piece of plate metal. He had some impressive callouses. One of my teachers just recommended Tiger Balm for arms and hands.
I studied Isshin-Ryu and it has helped me out of some tough spots. I really enjoy Jeet Kune Do vids. I was thinking of JKD training when I lived in Seattle, but never got around to it.
Im 50 (nearly) and I can tell you, yes it will condition your arms, I used to do wen chu kuan style kung fu, same arm techniques, and the bruises i got were incredible, my sifu used same medicine too.
lOVE THE VIDS, but I ain't been training... :( I ALSO wanted the learn to play instruments, guitar, drums, and keyboards. OMG!!! Since learning, I've found boxing, martial arts, and learning to play instruments too, ALL GO HAND IN HAND!!! "HERE'S TO AN AMAZING FUTURE!!! Thanks ever SO MUCH :) :) :) Thanks...
Great technique Dan. I practice some of what you are doing plus some other things from the Sil Lim Tao form on my Muk. Thank you for the great instructions and ideas. Always good information. Best of all good things. Gary Chattanooga.
WHY DO I COMMENT ON BRUCE LEE .? . HE WAS TRULY THE VERY BEST IN MARTIAL ARTS . !!!!!! .MAJOR IN PHILOSOPHY IN COLLEGE !!!!!! . AND WAS AN INSTRUCTOR , FOR MANY YEARS .!!!!! . AND AN EXAMPLE OF HIS MARTIAL ART .!!!!!!! .HE NOT ONLY TEACH , HE WAS THE ( MASTER OF HIS ART ) .!!!!!! .PRACTICE IS THE KEY 🔑.!!!!! 😎🇺🇸📚🙏🏾👍❤️🙏🏾......
Osu, nice vid sifu Lok. I practice kyokushin for more than 20 years. Now I can break 2 bric stones with my 2 knuckles fist punch. With my low kick I break wooden baseballstick. I even know the technique for my balls, when someone kick it, I absorp the kick and feel no pain, thats trough meditation. Once I have fought in kyokushin tournament bare knuckles against a win chun fighter, He was really good. But I k.o. him with a liver punch, ! Osu!
Just subbed Dan Lok. Thanks for taking the time to show us these effective techniques. I'm going to watch more of your videos. Dan can I ask your opinions of other Martial arts? Your truthfully honest opinion of even just the first two you can think of?
In my younger years I strengthen my forearms,but in practice against 1 or more opponents I I found my forearms strong but my wrists taking damage from 1 or more blows. Your wrists are very sensitive and need special attention. I worked my self up from wood then a flat stone that I had for grinding at one point in time, then found the back side of a Iron frying pan for more hardness!
NOTE: We promised 4 techniques but somehow one last exercise footage was not added so its only 3 techniques and a bonus. Dan will cover it and reshoot in the future along with any other conditioning techniques enough people request for.
Dan Lok nice video dan😀😀😀
Dan Lok ....what the best way in doing these strikes w/o incurring nreve damage.
Dan Lok I truly enjoy your videos. What 1 handed techniques could you show that might help someone who only has 1 hand?
Dan Lok Sifu this works well with Jessie Glover method as well
Definitely.
When I started, I practiced these arm drills. I almost quit because the pain was so bad. My instructor was thin like me but his arms were like steel. I thought he had broken my arms at my first lesson. I was discouraged and disappointed and thought of quitting. After a week I decided to return and continue working. Now my arms are steel and I love it :)
How much time did it take?

@@PimpingAintEasy1 bro shut up, the greatest martial artist in history used many of it's conditioning techniques
Great thing about all your videos is they are very simple to understand, respect from india
Santhosh, great. That is part of the purpose. Keep growing.
@@DanLokHi Dan
PLEASE can you tell us about herbs to use
From india
I love your patience and thoroughness as an instructor George martial arts enthusiast

Good I was told to do that years ago . Hitting steel makes you steel .
I ordered the Ho Family Dit Da Jow and currently using Shaolin Brand Imperial Fire dit da jow for wooden dummy training and iron palm training.
I've been watching you for a year and im staring to understand the Bruce Lee fighting philosophy, that is very practical but very efficient. I'm very excited.

Respect and health to you sir !
Great stuff, I really like your presence of being both a business and Martial Arts professional with the focus on proper technique and care to do it safely. Thanks for the great lessons!, Ken.

I been practicing for almost 2weeks I already feel stronger thanks Dan
~ For this technique I used a upwards slow rise thrust (elbows only )

i would love to be taught by dan wing chun, my favorite art of the arts.
@ Dan Lok.. i want to learn about arm conditioning but since i dont have any mentor who can teach me.. i just watch your videos and apply it .
I’ve been good about conditioning myself, though I have been neglecting my groin, face, palm, fingers, and back of the hand. This reminded me to do so, so thanks for the reminder!
Hello
I’ve started to watch you because I want to learn how to condition my arms etc for Wing Chun as I want this to be my self defence in my security workplace if I need to use it.
Thanks Dan from India
I'm trying to learn Wing Chun, but nobody in my area teaches it, and I don't have a partner. I enjoy watching your videos
Muchas gracias Dan, estoy entrenando condicionamiento y voy aplicar estas tecnicas. Saludos!
Like the Shaolin Temple shirt that the one dude is wearing. Actually have a couple of those.

thank you so much... im humbled and grateful for your vids
I do shotokan which involves similar blocks so occasionally I practice striking stone columns in the gym.
Good conditioning. I used to use a tree. When qi is exchanged with the tree, it's very different from using my wooden dummy. You can also use the palms on the tree.... good iron palms. And use the jow!!!! Very important!
snowissj, good insights. balance of conditioning and dit da jow application are key. keep practicng.
We do this in tkd as well it’s so helpful in sparring cause when u get hit with the kick u get use to the pain
Another insightful lesson by Dan, keep up the good work and enjoy your journey through this life. Peace
Dear Dan, thank you so very much for wisest advices and amazing videos and especially for clear, easy and pretty nice explanation🙏🙂

Very useful master Lok thanks
Hey Dan, I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you. I was wondering if at my age, 43, would I be able to condition my arms like you've done?
Im 50 (nearly) and I can tell you, yes it will condition your arms, I used to do wen chu kuan style kung fu, same arm techniques, and the bruises i got were incredible, my sifu used same medicine too.
Very nice vid , that stone training is great ... Where can I get that type of stone ? Pls someone tell me
Love your videos they help me out a lot thank you !
Man the 3min25 I have been doing for the last 8 years non stop with a tree when I was living and practicing wushu in Hangzhou.. I love that one alot.
love your videos Dan ...really helpful and educational.
There’s a reason Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
That was Awesome, I start today. Thank you Dan.
Hello Mr. Lok!

after you use Dit Da Jow after rub it on your hands arms where ever your conditioning it helps not from damage
Hey Dan I love your videos. Could you tell me where I might be able to buy the medicine you show at the end for recovery? Please and thanks
Thanks 4 making me get realised of what i am.Thanks dan uncle!
Just started my training back thank you for you're lessons. Where can I purchase the herb from you spoke of. Thank you
Hey Dan I used this technique & I enjoyed it
My training is great with help of good explaining. Gave a like.
By far my favorite part... you can grab stones, their free 😂😂 love the techniques. I'll be trying these out for sure!
Just subbed Dan Lok. Thanks for taking the time to show us these effective techniques. I'm going to watch more of your videos. Dan can I ask your opinions of other Martial arts? Your truthfully honest opinion of even just the first two you can think of?
Do you have any arm conditioning exercises that can be done with a door frame?
thanks dan, always wanted to get into wing chun!
NewbArchitect, Neve too late to get into Wing Chun, as you as you get started,. practice hard. practice well no matter what your situation is.
Sir I am very interested wing chin method, I watch your video is very good and understand easily, I practice at home, pl show next video. Thanks
Suraj, When the student is ready, the master appears. Practice hard. Practice well.
Ive been smacking my arms against steel for 29years as a diesel tech,ive9 belts in tae Kwon doe,arms are pretty resilient,
"You can grab these stones, it's free"
Lmao, almost thought they were sold in shops haha
Nice will try when i start my MMA training.
In my younger years I strengthen my forearms,but in practice against 1 or more opponents I I found my forearms strong but my wrists taking damage from 1 or more blows. Your wrists are very sensitive and need special attention. I worked my self up from wood then a flat stone that I had for grinding at one point in time, then found the back side of a Iron frying pan for more hardness!
Didn’t know you practice! Much respect! Osu
I can assure you nobody in the ufc has arms like Bruce or does this sort of training.
and as we go on, we will learn the art of respct.
Awesome video mate. Good conditioning drills
Keep practicing.
Cool techique Dan. Keep up the good work.
Great video love wing chun
Good video.When we trained my teacher we hit harder when training the limbs for conditioning
good. when the study is ready the master appears.
Web do the second drill in my karate school. Good stuff. If you haven't covered it in a video yet, you should do a video on Wolf's law.
Reminds me of training with my teacher 44 years ago. I mix my own dit da jow.
👍
