hand conditioning

... ppl in the forum assume too much

the point of iron palm isnt always to HIT your opponent, thats why your suppose to learn iron body, so when you take a hit you dont go back (meaning your opponent is open for an attack if their close enough, tae kwon do might keep them far enough that only their leg is a target)

i would practice iron palm just for the hell of it, nothin special

Well besides hands if you go and practice iron body for a while your whole body will harden.which means you can take a lot of hits,or if you practiced it so much you might be even able to survive a knife attack.

[roguewolftamer]

its possible (i guess), but even though you can learn iron palm doesnt mean it's completely useless

and i would love to learn iron body but im sure iron palm will need to be learned along-side it (for training or whatever)

but ill see what happens

[Goju_boi]

iron body trains your whole body , so palms are just a part of that.

[roguewolftamer]

that's why i said u'll probably have to learn iron palm along side of iron body, since it uses the same type of training and such, just different uses

If you practice Iron Body you should regularly rub yourself with oil to prevent rust

Knife attack?????

methinks you have been watching too much cheap knug-fu movies. You will never achieve a level of hardening sufficient to stop a blade.

[roguewolftamer]

what u quoted just stated that he said u could survive a knife attacked

now stopping a knife requires a bullet proof vest, then say ur so good u can stop a knife

[Goju_boi]

i think roguewolftamer understands me.i didn't say that you could stop a knife from penetrating you.What I mean is that you can get away with minor injuries while you disarm or find someway to stop the attack.Canuck,just go and look up iron shirt.
