blaze78_9 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 do you guys think that if you used the same training methods used in iron palm on your feet you could would you still get the same results. If you dont understand the question please tell me
CanuckMA Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Sure. But then you screw up your feet so you can't walk, you've already screwed up your hands so you can't hold the crtuches. You'll be easy prey lying on your back.
Rich_2k3 Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 So I see u dont approve of iron palm methods? "When my enemy contracts I expand and when he expands I contract" - Bruce Lee
CanuckMA Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I don't approve of any of the 'conditioning' methods. Unless you make a living fighting, inflicting irreparable damage to your joints and sensitive body parts just in case you'll get in a fight makes no sense. I'd rather take my chances that I'll break a knuckle in a real fight than face arthritis later.
granmasterchen Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I myself like conditioning, but i'll agree that its not for everyone. i think that you can condition your feet like you can condition your knuckles, it will just be a lot harder and much more painful with the knuckles you are only conditioning the knuckles and they are strong bones, where the metatarsels(bones on feet) are thing and long and run the whole length of the top of your foot, this will be much harder to condition and if done wrong, you will break the bones your first try, so you would have to take it very slow and dont rise to extremes That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
monkeygirl Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I believe this belongs in the Chinese Arts Forum, so I'll move it there for now. If I'm wrong and you can think of the best forum for this thread (General MA excluded), please send me a PM and I'll try to fix it. 1st dan & Asst.
