I didn't watch it, but all I can think that they mean is that the skeleton of MAists is stronger because of the exercise. Impact excercise builds stronger bones. One of the things that women (who have a higher risk of osteoporosis than men) should do is jump up and down each day. I can't remember off-hand how many times - I think it's about 20 times a day. It's supposed to help build stronger bones which cuts the risk of osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

I think the calcium deposits are from the rebuilding of bone.. This is a direct result from the impact and shock that the bone recieves from training...

I also enjoyed that XMA show on the discovery channel...

Think of bone as a tissue of the body, like skin. It really is just that, and is porous and actually moveable. Albeit much less because of its density and makeup.

When you punch something very hard, or get hit and the bone is damaged, or bruised, or broken, our bodies rebuild it. Since our bodies adapt extremely well to such events the bone is built denser and stronger. This is our natural atempt at adapting to the environment in case this happens again.

So now after the bone tissue is rebuilt its more capable of taking a hit like it did before, and can act as better protection to our limbs and internal organs. Its also one of the factors from the old axiom whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. :)

So do u think punching my punching bag bare fisted will help me start that process?Or should I just start hitting hard stuff all the time?

striking your punching bag will help build callis's on your knuckles and risk injury to your wrists.

i read in bruce lee's fighting method manuals, an effective way of "body conditioning". take a regular pail, fill it with sand, not dirt. and begin punching the sand. eventually, you build up to posting a 2x4 in the ground, wrapping the top part in rope and begin using harder strikes and build up the bones in your hands and knuckles. same practices can done on your shins as well.

Wisdom is knowledge rightly applied. To fight wisely is to rightly apply techniques.

If you are going to be punching something make sure it has a little give. If it is too hard you'll do undue damage and possibly deform your knuckles.
