whats Iron Body ??

[Anbu Alex]

Basicaly the practioner of Iron Body can absorb alot of blows and dish out heavy damage they are very Durable

Interestingly enough, the goju style you practice, goju boi, has elements of iron body training within sanchin kata.

[Anbu Alex]

I believe that all combative arts have some form or an idea of iorn body training in it especialy arts with full contact sparring cause it is just basically your body getting use for taking impact from blows (conditioning)

[Goju_boi]

hey stone heart can u further explain that with details?Also I want names of the styles that incorporate it

[elbows_and_knees]

the list of styles that incorporate it would be WAY too long. However, most chinese styles do it. Also, from an external point of view, thai boxiners do it. Internally, it is done in OMA via the sanchin kata, as has been said.

Iron body is really just body conditioning from an external point of view - you are hardening your body to withstand blows. Some styles also utilize an "internal" component. There is more than just iron body among chinese styles, there is:

iron body

iron palm

golden bell

iron crotch

iron shirt

just to name a few.

[Goju_boi]

do ther countries styles do this other than china and my style of goju.Also wouldnt iron body cover all the iron stuff.And what is iron shirt and golden bell?

When you are in great shape you can take more damage than norman guy. About a year ago I punched (with almoust all of my power) one brown belt karateka in training and he just asked me to punch little harder. He is in great shape and he has an amazing paintolerance
