elbows_and_knees Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Iron Body is the ability to withstand a few blows to your internal organs & hitting points without suffering damage of any kind. Both external & internal trainings are used. A qualifed Sifu willing to teach, dedicated training & faith are required. Taking a hit & convincing yourself you are not in pain is not iron body.this is correct. it does not make you invincible. The idea is that you are able to withstand a limited number of blows, then the effect goes away, basically. You can definitely toughen the body - like thai boxers do, for example, but general body toughening is not quite the same as iron body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muaythaiboxer Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 the shaolin monks do alot of iron body training there was a speacial on the discover chanel about human indurance and they had shi yan ming (a shaolin monk) preform all sorts of painful stuff without feeling pain. as for me i will do pushups and situps untill i have an iron body.

Enviroman Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 In Uechi-Ryu, we conditioned our forearms, legs, and torso with various means (blocking schemes at full force with a partner to strengthen the forearms, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallen_milkman Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well, Iron Bell Cover is a typo. I meant Golden Bell, and it is the ability to withstand weapon attacks. You may have seen Shaolin demos where they bend swords when they are stuck by them, and have hammers hit them in the chest. Iron shirt is a step on the way to Iron Body, which only protects your torso. 36 styles of danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The herbs are dit da jow - falling/hitting wine - it's used to toughen the limbs and is applied before and after iron training.In Uechi-Ryu, we conditioned our forearms, legs, and torso with various means (blocking schemes at full force with a partner to strengthen the forearms, for example).kung fu does that as well - three star drills, for example - thai boxers also do it over time as a byproduct of their training.
