thanks.

My computer won't let the video play, but I assume you're talking about partner muscle training.

In my dojo, we do something called body hardening drills where we firmly (but not hard enough to bruise) hit each other's arms and stomaches to make the muscles denser.

You build muscle by doing pushups, you make them hard by hitting them a lot, but not hard enough to bruise. Sometimes, I even chop the tops of my own forearms to make them hard. Hope that helps!

Kante, unless the video has been changed since your initial posting, what I saw in the beginning was a man tearing sections off a tree with his bare hands, and then it went into breaking cement slabs. Calling something Hard Body Training sounds more like a sales pitch for a body like a suit of armor than what you're actually asking about, which is powerful breaking--without breaking your own hand, elbow, etc.--as shown in the video.

Have you spoken with your instructor about breaking? Have you scouted around for DVDs on the subject? It's really a science more than primitive brute stength. Other than my suggestions, members of this forum who have more experience than I have might be able to steer you in the right direction with a posting that is more on target as to what you're asking.

Oh! Ripping bark off trees and breaking cement slabs is from Pencak Silat. It's unnecessary damage to your body and you regret it later in life when your bones are all arthritic and broken. It's the muscle that counts, not the bone.

I think you may be thinking of "hard body conditioning"..?
