When I talk to people about Iron Palm, they think it’s just about breaking bricks. They even ask, “Why do you want to learn how to break bricks?” Well, it’s not about breaking bricks. It is all about cultivating and controlling your Chi, your internal energy.
I look at Chi and where it is stored as money and a bank account, a Chi account, so to speak. You have to make deposits, savings for our “golden years.” The more you know about how to grow it and ‘bank it’, the more internal energy you will have when you need it most.
Once we have an account created, we have to be able to manage our account. We have to be able to move energy where we want, when we want. That is the Mind-Body connection, transmitting energy to where we order it to go.
This is the Iron Palm training, this is what we are looking for. Brick breaking is strictly a training aid. It is a measuring coin. It is also a way of losing Chi. You lose Chi from fighting, breaking bricks, and from sex. That is why Semen Retention is so vital. That is why it is so important to make deposits to your “Chi Account”, and not
retires.
This is a problem that occurs with most people at Iron Palm.
They stop training because their abilities increase.
They think that they have a “heavy hand” and that they have good techniques, so they slow down their learning, their training and depend on their hand.
This has been a grave mistake made by many skilled martial artists. Fundamentals, the fundamentals will always be necessary.
Grandmaster Tung Sheng Chang never trained his hand on Iron Palm. He trained his elbows. When I learned this, I also started training my elbows. However, I kept pace with my training from the palm of my hand.
This was the reason why he did not train his hand. He did not want to become dependent on this unique special training. He saw many men die because of their dependency.
Think about it, it’s the year 1930, you master this special program, and several years later, you begin to slow down your training. So you get a challenge, you accept the challenge. You feel that your skills will help you. But once the fight starts, you see the “rust” that has built up on you. You so want to land that punch. The one that will finish it, the one that will take you home tonight.
You can see the rest of the story. GM Chang, you saw it too many times. How much knowledge went to the graves with these teachers?
Most of the Iron Palm courses out there begin with the student hitting a bag full of mung beans. Then, they move to the bag that is filled with gravel, while using the herbal medicine known as Dit Da Jow.
Da Jow said, it’s a simple formula we call bruise medicine. This formula will remove bruises, aches and pains, etc.
And, it could be a good formula for hitting beans and gravel, but, for hitting a duffel bag, which is filled with iron pellets (about the same size as BBs), this bruising drug is not enough.
One of the herbalists that I use for our Iron Palm formula, told me that he and some of his students put some of my medicine on his hands, then he told me that his hands were staining. This man is a herbalist and he said he has never felt this before.
This is the Iron Palm drug. This is what it does. It draws your energy, your Chi, to the part of the body to which it is applied.
There are many different types of formulas, many of which contain between 9 and 16 different herbs. I have seen a couple of formulas that contain up to 30 herbs. The formula that has been passed down to me has 39 different herbs! It is by far the best I have ever used. It’s not by any stretch of anyone’s imagination, Da Jow said. It is an iron palm medicine.
