Harlan Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 My thoughts: no one is going to take the icon on for archaic training practices. Leaves fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ueshirokarate Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 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.

Montana Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Very impressive demonstration. I wonder how bad his hands ache all of the time?

Ueshirokarate Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 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.

Kuma Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 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.

Impressive videos though. Any others you would recommend? Matsubayashi RyuCMMACC (Certified Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Coach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
