Iron Palm Tree Training

Iron Palm Tree Training, Iron Palm Hand Conditioning, Iron Palm

[@ericwalker3588]

I studied Iron Palm the old fashioned way. But I really like this way of doing it, I wish I had seen this way sooner.

[@jw6642]

Your student's are very fortunate to have you as a teacher.

[@ronhanks4610]

I remember doing tree training as a boy who just started training and the look on my neighbors faces was priceless.

[@jesusninja2401]

This is excellent true training. It reminds me a book I read Kung Fu Scholar Methods that taught about hitting trees with the open hand to develop Iron Palm. Thank you Sir for putting this video on here for others to see.

[@_Alfa_Channel]

Your lifetime of training really shows, sir. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience.

[@ninjaboy5191]

John life time training much respect to him as a person but he hits it so hard cuz he’s old and numb

[@DickDickerson01]

He hits it hard because he's a bad ass!

[@shaolinwarriormark]

very polite and professional. i humbly thank you for your honest lessons!

[@KehaKool]

I am impressed by Your extraordinary ability to detailedly inform the student of all dangers and mistakes that Tree Training may bring to a beginner. Such demonstrations are, in my opinion, extremely important for those who tend to be inspired by action, without having enough patience to achieve remarkable results in a specific field. With great respect, Strength Artist Erlend Lõwi from Estonia.

[@lyricwashere]

I really enjoyed this video. It made me miss pine trees. You actually made this training look at though it felt good. The way you concluded your video was perfect. That pun was flawlessly delivered.

[@thehowls4918]

Fantastic video. Have done similar training for about a decade. Great, low cost way of conditioning. And this guy is good. Thanks for posting this

[@BMWat1970]

Thank you, very much for this excellent and highly informative and practical video. I have been sharing it with my friends and clients. I did your routine twice so far, and I was amazed at how strong my hands gotten; just two sessions!

[@shawnscorpion3589]

I have watched a lot of video on Iron palm this is the best one and the reason is, you don't always have the fancy 15 dollar bag to use but trees are every were. If civilization was to break down and men went back to less tech. Then having this type of training would be key to training warrior class of people.

[@alexanderallanjoipin8939]

yea true i use this as a method since i cant afford buying item

[@TaoistSwordsman]

Shawn Scorpion The idea of not having bags even in a post apocalypse is silly lol. A zip lock bag with rice, beans, or if you have to sand (not preferable, since it clumps up and turns hard like rock). Wrap that thing in duct tape and you have yourself an iron palm bag.

[@ericwalker3588]

I use trees as well when I am not at home.

[@ericwalker3588]

Make sure you boil the sand and sterilize it. I have done it this way as well but had mold grow out from the beach sand.

[@ericwalker3588]

I have tried the phone book too. It's ok but not as good as using sand. And believe me the Iron balls are really the best way to do it. The Iron balls absorb the shock way better than any other way. It's worth the expense in the long run.

[@kitwalker2103]

Doing it for almost a month now and my hands are becoming really tough!

[@nickm4974]

Great video Dale people laugh at tree training but it's extremely powerful.

[@dakotamaggs13]

Well the neighbors are gonna think I'm crazy "that boy is smacking that tree"

[@mr.nobody1588]

Dakota Maggs what stops everyone from full expressions

[@IntenseEffectDripVegetaXV2]

who cares what they think. go achieve your goals

[@davitgeorge8994]

Dakota Maggs What is this,He gave him Masash

[@AwesomeAndrew]

In the Tao De Jing, there is a verse "care about others approval, and you will be their prisoner" I learnt that a while ago, thats why my neighbour already thinks I am nuts, and it feels great to not care haha

[@ninjahombrepalito1721]

The moves look like genuine training. Besides, you can go to the forest and do it there.

[@noahbrown622]

well, first step, hug the tree

[@wrth]

Noah Brown this is what martial arts has come to

[@ninjahombrepalito1721]

Lol, still, the movements are effective.

[@Myanonymous00]

Noah Brown hug the tree be the tree beat up the tree

[@lilcalHH]

3713 3713 oh yes you will!

[@sbc1845]

Took the 100th like. So satisfying

[@taichauminh6556]

Thank you very much. That is a good way to be training for who is wanting to learn Martial Art. Who ever can be creative the ways they wanted to train themselves. That is fine and good too. Hopefully, I love to learn more on your channel

[@punisher7772]

Good training. Just takes years of conditioning. And start out slow. After years of practicing this you will be able to hit things very hard with no damage or pain. Important to focus ( the mind ) with each hit. The only one I am not too confident with is the back hand, now that would hurt unless your hands are very well conditioned. Very easy to break the small bones in the back of your hand unless you know what your doing. I stick to the shuto chop and the palm slaps. Also like the palm slap followed by the rake ( or tiger claw strike ) it's good to rip off some tree bark with that one.

[@daviddoyle4516]

2 star is old school Choy Lay Fut ,,,,Hung Gar we did it everyday,,,,good training,,,,

[@iwinalwase]

Im so glad i found this! it saves me from having to go out and get steal shot! Thank you Master Fedorko. Also i will work on my humility Iron Body technique can only be mastered after the the mind and heart are tamed.

[@sluggerwest3414]

awesome .im just a beginner so I go real light . I was also worried I was doing it wrong. thank you you for the information . helps a lot

[@bassai2010]

Excellent instruction! I have a suitable tree in the back yard I can use. Thank you for sharing. Joel

[@matthewmaxcy1574]

Love the video very well done ,I got a chuckle how at the end take this tree training and maybe "Spruce" it up a little 😃 nice little pun in there,and trust me I "willow"..

[@kitwalker2103]

I tried it and its awesome ...gonna do it everyday...true to his word Damian replies to the emails aswell!

[@danielcolindres2945]

Good God Love every minute of this video. You sure go into complete details and completely very knowledgeable. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

[@WarriorBoy]

He looks skilled an experienced, and I do think this training is legit, bone conditioning is a real thing, and you can work it on your hands, shins, knuckles, etc, and get them stronger just like muscles, but you have to be careful, obviously. In my own experience, I've used a bean bag made of canvas and filled with dry beans I ordered online, and have had a lot of success simply doing reps of different hits on that. I don't disagree with using a tree either, however I'll say overall that fist/palm/bone conditioning is what I would call a related skill to martial arts and self defense training, and shouldn't be the focus in my opinion. There are plenty of people who've never done this kind of training who can fight very effectively, since they spend most of their time on sparring, learning timing, application, and physical conditioning.

[@SmedlyButler-cq5iq]

Agree, I did iron palm every day for 1.5 years and all I can say is I would not want to get hit with a fist like my fist was, that's it lol...I just recently got back into training

[@sifuculreif6448]

Ideally you should store that Jow in a dark, opaque container. Light will tend to damage or weaken most Jow recipes.

[@christopherpavkovich4995]

Great demonstration sir.

[@luisframirez2]

Look at this man's hands! 😵 Great video!!

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

I pitty the fool who mistaken's this man as an "easy" target. Respect to you Sir.

[@IMINLOVEWITH]

Gabriel Johannson THIS IS A FAT ASS SLOB THAT WOULD GET HIS ASS BEAT NASTY BY MOST STREET FIGHTERS IF HE USED THIS "BULLSHITO."

[@ThiccJungles]

Yeah if you ever have taken a hit from a “knife” hand to the middle of your throat or an “iron finger” to the eyeballs, no matter how tough you are, your throat will give, and your eyeballs will cave in.

[@mech0p]

Dude this shits old school bro... Your about as lucky to get one of those hits in as you are with a punch but most likely your gonna go to the ground which renders all this useless.. When people fight now its mma style no one stands up and can pull that sort of shot off anymore

[@al-dorifto1631]

For all the haters I understand where your coming from cuz nearlly all traditional martial arts are bullshit for a street fight pretty much boxing muaythai bjj and judo is wat works on the street... But how ever this guy isn't Doin any bullshit fancy moves they r all quick strikes. If old mate got the first hit in there would b no take down cuz the cunt would either b knocked out on in mass amount of pain.. Plus this video is for strengthen ur body his body would b like steel.. I can take a hit from a heavy weight n I'm only a bantam or feather weight but I would not want to take about from this guy

[@devaughangraham1432]

John Smith To underestimate somone because of appearance is redelicious... WOW!!!

[@charlesdiaz6974]

Thank you sir that's the wonderful training I do martial art but this is wonderful to even get stronger I want to thank you once again bless you sir

[@Yoruichi13]

Thank you for this lesson 🙏🏼

[@22rered29]

iron bone techniques do not require any special material just correct form and patience it takes time to build up the strength of your bones for beginners you could use your fists and palms a plank of wood anything actually it doesnt matter so i thank this man for posting this video it does help teach people

[@ultralordd7625]

22re red, there was a Chinese guy who used to use a metal plate to strike, he would use it regularly, even while watching television, every dude he hit went down easily.

[@ninjahombrepalito1721]

It's kinda like saying you don't need weights to get strong. Well, weights just make it easier.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Damnnn, you received more compliments in a span of a couple minute, just more than President and I for a lifetime. GEEZ WHEESH THANK YOU

[@sandersblackbeltacad]

DamienSijo Sanders here. Good tree Gung video. I killed the tree in my mothers front yard with this kung back when I was a teen. Of course the stars and knives had something to do with it as well . It was great meeting you at our Spring Camp.

[@Geoff]

thank you! very useful. I am conditioning my hands and grip!

[@tinupaul9169]

Thank you so much sir for the great video,I would like to learn more from you .

[@normandunnaganjr.5034]

Great video Dale. This guy has good technique when he throws the power palm at the end, guarantee it would put the hurt on someone. I want to try some of these things, I only recently discovered how strong a power palm strike is. I feel like the power palm cross should be added to boxing/ punch teachings. because those cross muscles get worked much harder when I focus on throwing power palms, likely because of the greater impact (knuckles probably absorb some impact) - it is a good thing to do at the end of training, as it quickly gasses out those large muscle groups on your power side. I cock my shoulder with my left arm fully extended almost and step in with my right power palm, naturally spinning the right palm counter clockwise before it hits the target, as you do a cross. learning to use that back foot with the cross /palm and spin your weight off of it is what determines the velocity of either strike . The palm strike is at least twice as powerful a cross. I cannot imagine what damage a conditioned hand like his would do to a human being at even half power, probably about like being whacked with a 2x4. Another thing to help with power cross or palm power, take a light resistance band (red), tie off chin height or a little lower, step away from band holding band with both arms, fully extended, and then move the band to the other side of your body with your arms fully extended, straight out in front of you.

[@Spartan21blue]

The paper bark tree is one that is ideal for this type of training , ie it’s soft on the outside but solid on the inside . Best of training everyone 😎

[@Jackapoo1]

The trees going Ahhhhh. Haven’t had my back scratched ever🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rashuadjohnson7719]

Jeff Langton or they will miss all that heavenly glory.

[@DeadRatStew]

Happy I found this video I damaged my right hands fingers tendons so I need to learn palm strikes, hopefully I can make a fist again after my recovery,

[@DisneyGymGirl]

Looks easy but try it... most people will bruise just after doing 2 or 3 good slaps and then have to wait a couple of days before trying again. It is a good idea to go really light if you are a beginner. Just snap your wrist into the moves and hit the tree just enough that it stings a little but doesn't bruise. As the skin, bones get stronger you can hit with more power like he does.

[@mrlobster1287]

its not about getting "stronger"....this whole bs training is just making microfractures in the hand an have them heal over time...over....and over....and over, for years as the layers of bones heal over themselves....you end up with a fucked up hand that can hit harder...this tree crap is pure bullshit.

[@aleksijevujovic7262]

mrlobster1287 microfractures in knuckles, shin bones etc is extremely beneficial in martial arts. You're not fucking up your hand or whatever part you're conditioning. It's not scar tissue, bones don't work that way.

[@DREDGIB]

mrlobster1287 why you so angry bro. No need to speak like that in your first comment or your second. No one is being disrespectful except you

[@5324TuiG]

Ive been doing baji quan jibengong for 8 years with a tree.. not just my hand but the whole body. This is just to learn to be more relaxed. the more relax one can hit, the deeper the pain will go.

[@rrt1592]

I just use s 4x4 doing Karate chops, slaps, palms, forearms, finger points, and hammers.

[@tommyt390]

Thank you so much for this, very useful training, i combine this with fingertip pushups and knuckle pushups to strengthen my hands.

[@tommyt390]

Coming back to let anyone interested know that this works wonders. Been training for about a month, i try to get 3 or 4 hour sessions every week. At first i could only do 5 sets of 10 at about 30% force for every exercise, now i can do 5 sets of 50 reps at about 70% force. If i were to slap or palm someone in the face, it would hurt like hell. Great way to condition the body!

[@poorboxtheater5042]

Great video, thanks!

[@JohnSmith-qy3nv]

DaleLeonardVideo, Thank you very much for the immensely helpful instructions. I have two questions though? Should you train your thenars in case you unintentionally hit with them while making a palm strike? And if yes, how should you train them? Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer my questions.

[@CottonBoxer]

so glad u didn't forget to mention the jow. before training, and after too. i used to have my taiji student practice on a tree almost just like that. i even had him do grasps birds tail on a huge tree like that . haha i tried to help him think better than to just be a gang member in NYC, he was chinese .

[@LooseJointhiphopdance]

Great video. I practice tree training using various methods like in this video and a little different but there are some really helpful information that will add value to my own training. Thanks for the post

[@NR-gp2il]

If you do it in public people low key think you're a crackhead but I always laugh at the people hitting the punching bag with gloves and the bag is barely moving but here I am punching a freaking tree and gonna have palms and fist like a freaking ball of iron

[@LooseJointhiphopdance]

N R Feel the same way. I’m always training in the park in public and people must think I’m either nuts or dangerous. Lol I just focus on my training block everyone out as much as possible. I will be moving my training to about 5 am since it’s warm out now and so I don’t ha e to deal with the distractions.

[@johnhanley9946]

This was very informative and interesting! So, as far as jow goes, can you make your own? What do you put in it?

[@brianhall5530]

Definitely am going to apply this to training

[@Atkrdu]

How do you make your nails more durable? I remember seeing pictures of someone who was said to be able to rip bark off of trees with his bare hands & from the look of his nail. it certainly seemed possible. What makes them thicker & more solidly attached?

At least buy the tree a drink before u do this

[@thewildtigre3339]

The knife hand thing, i tought you are supose to hit whit the bone in order to get that bone thick and sharp for cutting. Am i wrong?

[@bajuszpal172]

So do I Mr. Fedorko, All the best! Sir, you are right in saying, there is no need for extra equipment to develop Iron palm capabilities, all you need is atree andefofrot and time. Gradual approach is the key to avoid hurting oneself and develop stamina in your palms, for arms . What caught me is the preference of using muscled parts of the hands or arms, contrary to some hardliner styles. Only one minute mistake, you are speaking and applying clockwise turning of your Dantien, but your hands are showing the opposite direction! Best regards. Paul, 67, retired insturctor of Karate.

For hand conditioning, what always comes to mind for me is the scene early in the movie 'Enter The Dragon'. The guys arrive on Han's island. Several training scenes shown including the one guy sticking his hands in & out of a container of heated sand.

[@agustinbonforte5608]

Hello there, agustin from argentina here. I have a general cuestion that keeps anoying me every time I do the tree body conditioning (not only the palms). Every time you hit the tree, you condition the bones (hitting with bones) or the muscles that cover de bones (hitting with muscles)? For example, the forearmes, there's an imaginary line continuing the thumb an other continuing the little finger, i've hitted the tree with that part and its hurts a lot, but ive seen several videos and a lot of sifus (i'm training bajiquan) seem to be hitting with that part. I see you hit it with muscles, what can you recommend me to solve this dilema?

[@Peace-il8cn]

Man, i really want to do this more, is there any risk of arthritis? Or any serious damage on my hands?

can you still do this if youve injured your hand. i mean its healed but but i broke my 5th metacarpal and my palm has pain from using it to scrape floors

[@FREEZA13]

i know this may sound stupid, but if you want to try this training ( which i trained myself iron palm hand and iron fist, using trees, bricks, sand bags and water), do it barefoot. i can't explain it right but when i do it, it just feels so good, its like i can feel the thermal energy from Earth, and all her energies passing by my feet. if you use sneackers or shoes, rubber will cut it all...call me crazy now, but i will still do it

thanks and one more thing i get a bucket of rocks and i punch it to gain strength in the fist cause i heard it helps you resist pain and hard your fist I've been doing this for a week but for only 2 times then i stopped cause i didn't know if that could cause me authridis. When i punch the rocks i use force but not all my force but before i punched rock i use to punch sand and i punched sand hard but sometimes i punched it slowly but idk if this is dangerous and if it is please let me know if theres another way to get the iron fist

Hello. Have been doing shaolin iron palm iron body . Iron palm square bag canvas made out of mung beans next level gravel. Same with iron body. An instructor before tells me it is not safe with jow.

Is it a purely physical skin absorption compound for minimizing bruising, or is it more of an herbal, spiritual/mental, inner healing catalyst? Forgive my lack of understanding.
