danbrendel Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi guys, I started training northern shaolin again a month ago after not training for a few years. It definitely feels great and I'm not sure why I stopped in the first place (life, family, work, studies, money, kids, excuses? lol)I'm 35 years old, and I've exercised since as far back as I can remember. What I've been doing all this time that I did not train martial arts per se is, stretching, calisthenics, jogging, etc. I searched for a karate forum because, I keep injuring my hands, so I thought you may point me to exercises I could practice to make them tougher, my training is very lacking in this regard. Did I come to the right place.There's tons of great info and people in here so I'll get to reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastelander Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Welcome to the forum! We do have a Chinese Martial Arts section, where you might find some assistance in Chinese methods of conditioning the hands. To be fair, many karate practitioners who chose to condition their hands actually use Chinese methods, as well Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensei8 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Welcome to KF, danbrendel; glad that you're here!!Not to steal anyone's thunder from them, so the only thing I know is Hondu Undo, and all that it entails; it's all I've ever known. What Chinese conditioning I know, can fit into a thimble; my background is Okinawan at nature!!I hope someone here can help you find the info you're seeking!! **Proof is on the floor!!!

MatsuShinshii Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Welcome to KF danbrendel The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure.
