[@vancityband6577]

I do Hung Gar. While it is used for resistance training, the other main purpose is to simulate getting pulled after striking. When you throw a strike, the rings keep moving and you have to adapt to the momentum changes. It isn't really used to build forearm toughness, we have exercises (e.g. three star sparring) which you do with a partner, much more efficient. And they are loud, I can't use them unless I have earplugs in. They are fun to use but you don't really load up on the weight unless you are strong or doing tension exercises.

[@JohnnyJohnsonEsq]

Thanks so much for adding this! Good to hear from someone with some real experience here.

[@tubesism]

When training tan tui we would use ankle/wrist weights for endurance training. We trained tan tui by holding various postures throughout the form for a 5 count. To go all 12 roads, with 3 reps per road as we were taught, and with holding postures, the form took 20 minutes! My teacher said he used to have a group that would use the iron rings for this. They’d slowly add more over time. I never did this myself. I think wrist weights are more efficient personally!

[@antriggs4190]

I came here to say almost the same thing. I’ve studied Hung Gar and Southern Praying Mantis. I’ve used iron rings and leg weights for most of my life when I used to train every day. They are used more like Goku uses weighted clothes during his martial training and not as a weapon or conditioning of the forearms. 3 Stars and 7 Stars is done for conditioning the forearms and legs.

[@Manakyn]

As someone who has studied martial arts and knew that the rings aren't really a weapon, I remember the first time I watched Kung Fu Hustle. I spent hours after watching pondering about if blocking attacks could actually be a legitamate application of the rings... 🤣

[@summerguy6]

if i can speculate one thing, the reason why he would be using rings would be his age and after a break from actively fighting. To control his balance and force within each strike according to his age, he would wear the ring in order to adjust his strength. But i still am pondering on the point you make if the rings woul be useful in blocking attacka. XD

[@Manakyn]

@@summerguy6 I'm not sure that's it. The rings are supposed to make it harder to move, not easier. If he needed to control his balance, the rings would only make it worse.

[@idkwhatswhat2382]

@@Manakyn maybe the weight helps his balance like he is used to specific weight to strike. like he would not able to control said strike and would likely topple off his body if he strike without the extra weight. (like it can also compare to a boxer fighting in lightweight division will then to be overwhelmed in that fight when he was a former welterweight[ I think so not really a good hypothesis])

[@creaturetransylvania8943]

Weapon attacks not at all,fist attacks maybe but that would hard.

[@boylekay789]

I think the rings are portrayed as an integral part of the character's martial art style in Kung Fu Hustle. Look at his attacks, some of them wide sweeping punches. The heavy rings will enhance the power of those punches, like swinging a mace.

[@theghosthero6173]

In the Sancai Tuhui (Chinese: 三才圖會) compiled in 1609, is shown and described a weapon called Niu Zi (扭子, button): A pair of metal rings. They may be related to Gelang Lanun (Malay: Pirate ring), a silat weapon that is said to be introduced to the Malay world by Chinese pirates. They probably were portable brass knukles like weapons.

[@egglyph]

Those were larger diameter. There’s a couple of movies where they were shown. They could be used for striking kinda like knuckles, but also allowed to catch an opponent by a neck or a limb, used as a lever could strangle or break a bone. I think Samo Hung demoed a formal practice in one of Jackie’s movies.

[@gypsydildopunks7083]

I made it to brown belt in a legitimate tkd/Hapkito school long ago. I can't jump around spinney kick anyone but you still remember simple ways to defend yourself that are devastating to the attacker. Gonna get some of dem rings and enter the 36th chamber

[@JohnnyJohnsonEsq]

I'll see you there!

[@arnbo88]

When I trained in Chow Gar; we were told that performing strikes while wearing the rings would create elasticity in the sinews and tendons of the forearms. I still train horse stance with them today similar to what Jackie Chan displayed here. It does build strength and stamina in the shoulders and arms.

Thank you youtube algorithm, such a nice and informative video. In Kung Fu Hustle the guy with the rings was such a bad ass with them that I didn't think it'd be too damaging to the bones and muscles of the arm.

When I was a kid we had this movie recorded on Dish network. I watch it too many times to remember but before the movie started there was an entire Rascal Flatts “Me and my gang” music video that played before it.

I never knew there was other kinds of weighted training like this Good to know as I am looking for something similar

[@tubesism]

Kung fu got very creative in a time before exposure to western weight lifting. Other tools include the stone lock, and unrealistically heavy weaponry. Several forms employ a Guan Dao which is intentionally way heavier than one you could practically use for combat! The bagua style has their own giant sword, often called the bagua dao, or dadao, which is similarly heavy. At least, traditionally it is. Modern bagua dao are made lighter for performance purposes.

Early in my training I used wrap around shin weights on my forearms to build up arm and shoulder strength. Also wore practice but heavy clothing all year long, this was before weight vests, way before DBZ & Rock Lee from Naruto made weighted clothing for training popular.

[@makukawakami]

I'm surprised that you covered an eastern weapon/equipment. Also yeah the rings are for training only, it has the same concept as the Indian club but the weight is worn.

[@baalfgames5318]

I don't know why, but I've always kind of had a soft spot for the use of metal rings as a form of combat. Then again, that might be because the first time I saw it, a kangaroo did it, and kangaroos make everything cooler. :p (I know Warriors of Virtue isn't good, but the idea of five kangaroo warriors who are masters of the chinese elements, while a bit on the random side, is still a cool idea in my opinion.) So when I saw it done in Kung Fu Hustle, it was kind of cool. Kind of a shame what happened to the guy who used it, though.

Crippled Avaoengers is one of the best classic kung fu movie. I missed it so much.

[@lichtheimer]

I was always quite sure they were mainly weight training for martial artists and could only be used in fights as a not so great shield on the arm. Otherwise I could never figure out how you'd really transfer force through your hands from the rings themselves. Just seemed like they'd hit your hand harder than your opponent anyway.

[@voltronimusprime3833]

Depending on how the rings sit on your arm, you could theoretically use them to add a second impact to a strike. It would work similarly to a "Dead Blow Hammer" which has a hollow head made of a hard plastic, filled with sand. This reduces bouncing and disperses the impact force. Upon hitting a surface, the hammer body will want to bounce backwards, but the sand takes a little bit longer to get to the front of the hammer, which helps cancel out any backwards momentum.

[@ifv2089]

Always with the best content, legend

[@GatorsRock01]

As a long time practitioner of the Lama Pai kung fu system, we use the rings in our Qi Gung and kung fu forms(mainly an individual choice on what forms...). The benefits of focused concentration on movements at various speeds helps with understanding why we block and strike as we do. It aids in incorporating muscles that otherwise would take longer for a student to bring into their training. Additionally I found it helps with focusing on breathing correctly. Rarely have I used them as a weapon with the primary exception being if I was attacked while training then I reacted with a block using the ringed portion of my arm(s). I find that the traditional training methods also helps me with being connected to the so many of traditions of my system. While there are more convenient tools to train with, I frequently find the less convenient methods are effective for more than just that thing I am working on at that time...

cool video ...... they also get you familiar with the blood flow to the limb. If you swing your arm loosely but heavily like a bucket of water going in a complete circle at the right speed and force the water does not fall out even when upside down. You can feel your arms heavy with blood going to the end of the limb and resting while swung but with out holding the bucket of water. The weight of the rings shooting forward has some of the same effect. You could even get on a mystical level with iron being in your blood.

Ok now I have to watch Kung Fu Hustle again and thanks for the information on the rings

[@seanblaine2827]

Iron rings are the best exercise equipment I have ever bought, quit fun for practice!!

[@_-KR-_]

I use the movements of my arms often to balance and shift inertia for better control of movement overall. sometimes it feels like swimming through the air. I have never been formally trained in martial arts but have sparred occasionally with those who are training. I've also watched a lot of martial arts movies through and beyond childhood. Every once in a while I will practice my own freestyle form solo. All this is to say movements of the wrist can influence your entire body in movement and I imagine these rings probably strengthen muscles all over and not just the arm muscles themselves.

[@ivanvalera3250]

Its similar to how boxers use weight for shadow boxing without its constantly banging there wrist and knuckles for the microfracture build up

[@valkerionrides9879]

I just figured they were used defensively to help defend against opponents who may be using weapons rather than risk your own weapons (your arms/hands in this case) trying to parry them.

[@nathanhale7444]

That guy in Tekken wears iron rings, but I don't think he uses them as weapons. In an old fighting game on Sega CD, there was a martial artist named Chen Wo who used a single large iron hoop as a weapon. His fighting style was Monkey kung fu

[@glennjenkins7589]

Well in another post I've posted such but, the presence of such can come at one of my known masteries in martial arts, this mastery persists in how using what most common depiction would state "singing bowls" is when first structuring the balance of the bowls then when preforming the practice you will be able to grow bracelets where then different expansion practices can take place. All those will fail to me and my greatness. "Chaow seee"

[@amichael3401]

Huh... makes sense that it's for training but I always thought there was more too it than that. Like the same method a slide hammer works I thought there'd be more force behind punches with them as the blow connects and this mass of iron follows through behind it. Good to know, thanks for the video.

[@igorabdoaguilar9331]

That doesn't work in straight punches because of inertia of the rings. They are more going against than forward the movement. Hence why they are used as a training tool. Although they could serve this purpase for haymakers or wide circular movements. But... That would most likely end up destroying your joints. Your hands have less mass than your arms. That's why you can take the impact of punching. Add to much unnatural weight. And you are gonna tear down the structure. Which is why a weapon is often designed to minimize the impact of the user of the tool. But amplified force on the receiving end

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

I honestly considered nunchucks the same. They're not exactly a viable flail like weapon outside of films or public performance. So the most logical use for them would be as training equipment for improving dexterity.

[@rifasclub]

I don't know, people keep saying that, but at the end of the day they're one handed baseball bats, damage-wise. You really can block them, or they will break your arm and one good hit can kill you.

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

@@rifasclub a stick can do just the same. Because believe it or not, a "good hit" with anything hard can kill or break bones. The only difference is that you'll have more control of a stick than you would with-- what is essentially, a less effective stick with its other half dangling about. Enemies don't just stand around allowing you to get a "good hit" they WILL take advantage of weaknesses, and that's why nunchucks are ineffective, it has more weaknesses than strengths regardless of how trained you are with them. (also centrifugal force doesn't help its "damage". You'll be swinging from your elbow in most situations, meaning all the chainlink does is dampen the strike that would have been more powerful if your weapon was a whole stick.)
