Pounding A Stone

[sensei8]

I can truly appreciate this from Higaonna Sensei...I'm not sure many can appreciate its context, but for those who can, enjoy!!

Some thoughts, comments...anything.

My thoughts: no one is going to take the icon on for archaic training practices.

I ..think it's waste of time.

Reminds me of Tong Po in Kickboxer.

Nothing wrong with it, if done correctly. It will certainly help make your bones stronger (i.e increased bone density), just like a makiwara can due to Wolff's law.

Very impressive demonstration. I wonder how bad his hands ache all of the time?

I have hit bare handed walls, makiwara, heavy bags, etc. I don't get aches all them time. If I strike something exceptionally hard, my hand will hurt for a few days but nothing after it heals.

Higaonna Sensei is one of my favorite karateka. I've seen this video before, but it's always fun to watch. Not only is his conditioning and knowledge incredible, but he also always seems to be one of the kindest most humble guys you'll ever meet.

This is the first I have heard of him. Impressive videos though. Any others you would recommend?
