Iron Shirt Qigong

[Master Jules]

Yeah....my master (Goju and Jujitsu) who stays with me from time to time (see "Uchideshi" thread....its funny) is a bit "eccentric".............ahem...........but he likes to beat the snot out of me during shime testing.......whether its punches and kicks, or beating me mercilessly with the shinai.....but the beauty of that is.....it did bring me to a "higher level" of focus and concentration.

 

During one of my black belt tests, I was performing Sanchin kata, and he struck me in the lower chest/upper abs region with an ESCRIMA STICK....... which is a heck of a lot harder than any shinai Ive ever been hit with......he actually cracked the escrima stick, and two ribs as well......lotsa fun...lol....but maintaining the ability to focus and continue unfettered is the end product of proper meditation, whether its "standing", "seated", or "moving" Zen.....

There's a White Crane site with a few San Chien demonstration clips on it.
