The Secret Of Shaolin Body Conditioning

[@JustSomeGuy69420]

£239.99 for the metal brush? Nearly $390 US Dollars? WHAT? I'll just go to my local Lowes and make my own metal brush. Gotta be kidding me.

[@rebel1187]

tig welding rods work great

[@rebel1187]

True you can make it out of damn near anything but I'm a welder so I tend to have alot of stainless wire on hand in alot of different sizes so that's what I use although you really don't need anything other than your own hand/fist

[@KyleTheDalek]

REBEL Henderson but would that only work to a certain degree ? As your hands are only hard to a degree.

[@michaelgreico9630]

Easiest way to make one is to get those skinny metal yard marking flags and just put them all together with electrical tape

[@gaibrielsimpson7124]

My shaolin shift in China took my shoe off and started beating me with it. No purchase necessary lol

[@N_3.1415]

Thanks a lot for the info!! I read there is a treatment called micro-fracture surgery that helps healing broken bones by creating nano fractures next to the actual break, thus helping the healing process. I also read an article written by Mark Rippetoe, a strength coach, that detailed how one of his clients managed to walk again after an accident when all the doctors told him it would be impossible (heavy loads to increase bone density: the screws in place were driven out of the bones!).

[@misterduggy]

This dude is properly ripped for Shaolin boxing. His muscles are relaxed for fast and fluid movements. Relaxed muscles promote the circulation and concentration of chi (internal energy). Tensed and tight muscles hinders and blocks chi. This is a vastly different concept of muscle & tendon development as trained in Western exercises.

[@ezzz42]

good eye. the force is strong with this one

[@donkeyslayer8370]

if your chi is blocked you cant rely on the nine tailed beast lol

[@tomdoherty6407]

David Ross there are loads of shaolin monks who are huge have u ever seen the compotision the lift like 50 kg stones

[@lukas-kevynmuller6697]

+Tom Doherty you know, those are the tank types, not the attack types

[@THECABSOURHERE]

David Ross yes pushups is key

[@anaaman]

The wooden brush costs $2 at Home Depot in the USA. These guys are selling with £38.99, this is not fair. That is called ripping people off.

[@Mo_998]

why would home depot sell it?

[@XrevengaX]

the real question is; why wouldn't they sell it?

[@yas1137]

The real real question is: Will it blend?

[@jasonc.4472]

+anaaman not the same thing dumb ass

[@pearltwo4530]

C'mon He's Chinese so he gotta get something out of it...Google "Scammers/Scams in China" and you'll know how the current Culture is all about..unlike the old days..or Dynasties..whatever you wanna call it..

[@dannylittle1865]

If I started hitting my self with sticks in the gym I'm pretty sure I would be dragged out by people in white coats

[@SkeleOfNi]

Yeah, but they'd be the mad ones in reality. :D

[@rafiqul01]

u dont do this in the gym, u do it at home , in private

[@meiko431]

😂😂😂

[@heidyherrerachavez7220]

Danny Little i do it at my home at the gym only exercises lol

[@garrethollingsworth4878]

Be careful striking your legs you can get a blood clot and if it releases it'll go to your heart and cause an aneurysm

[@misterduggy]

This form of training is called "pa ta kung" (self beating skill). It trains the body withstand external/blunt blows. It is the basic training for Iron Bell Cloth or Iron Skin.

[@KyleTheDalek]

David Ross can you help me with conditioning? I was wondering what would be the best thing to start off with ? And can you condition all parts of your body ? And does conditioning make your nerves less sensitive so you don't feel pain anymore ?

[@Tricroman]

If you ask the oil is Dit Da Jow, a chinese liniment made from plants.

[@raytucker3443]

I just want to say i love watching your videos and learning from you. Thank you very much for taking the time to make and post these videos. Im very greatful of you!

[@historiador1420]

I'm from the Philippines in my town,General Santos where Manny Pacquiao grew up, boxers practice this with a brush-like stick but a solid stick. They usually hit the abs and arms, they believe they make the muscles hard and strong, I've seen Manny Pacquiao doing this too.

[@nazaxprime]

The dispersal of energy with the brush is in a much wider pattern. if you use a single rod, the energy will be directed to a single point based upon the inertia and angle of the swing... basically the brush is softer, and therefor you have much more control over it. Same reason you start with the bamboo brush instead of the iron. also, any wood would be fine, i imagine, but because of the long fibers in bamboo, it will be "cheaper" and safer in the long run, because of splintering. M 2 cents. ;D

[@abraxas444]

Conditioning brushes are fantastic tool for revitalising muscles and tendons.Very enjoyable too .One of many secrets of Shaolin Temple.Thank you Shifu Yan Lei

[@serpentide666]

As a physio i'm going to do my best to answer that!....that microfracture process is called 'cortical remodeling'. Which, like you said, over time makes the layers of bone alot more dense. The reason this WON'T work in rehabilitation is because in order for this technique to really have an effect, you must have optimal and health bone tissue to begin with. If a patient had a broken radius, they would not be able to hit the arm remotely hard enough against the object before screaming in pain.

[@MeMoRyUzAki]

Grab a book and start with your shin/leg region, use the spine of the book to hit that region up and down so it covers the leg area, not too hard or too soft, when you feel it ache rub your legs for awhile and re do it again every now and then, I've done this to the point where I moved from a book, to a woddenstick, a metal pole, to just eing able to cick a tree over and over, just pace yourself and DONT OVER DO MORE THAN YOU CAN DO. good luck theres other ways but I though id share my way

[@pulledfocusmedia]

I’m a million years late but I’ve been watching this and trying it out about 2-3 times a week and it’s amazing!

[@kunseok]

this guy seems strong...

[@craxymex32]

thats rally cool sifu! i practice iron shirt chi kung i can get hit with a iron bar and it dosent cause damage to me . i veen practicing ron shirt for 2 years and its great . thanks to master mantak chia

[@stallio5612]

Yeah I read his book on sex.... Very good.

[@cooler1854]

Question Is it safe to hit solar plexus chest lightly ? Let's say canvas bag gravel or steel shots ? At 50 plus would you keep training even with canvas steel shot bag ? Also external iron palm would you stay at gravel level or do steel shot bag ? Heard one instructor who 60 says he only stays on bean bag gravel for iron body uses stick. He says if you do gravel iron plan can hurt yourself. Other guy says his student does steel shots has no problem with his hands. Look at master pan used to hit steel with his fists. He should have used sit da how though. There is a ointment called Kung Fu rub the new jow it is awesome. So your advice on above questions. Michael

[@nazaxprime]

I actually tried conditioning with something like what your saying years ago, and had based it on a shin conditioning tool that was basically a 2x4 with a cut in half down to a round(to keep the cut from splitting) near a formed handle... I wish I had seen this brush, I probably would have stuck with it. As it was, I was conditioning my shins because of skateboarding and simply "whacking it with a board" was not good because of the amount of focus. Actually, I bet the brush feels really good...

[@kaashifkhan31195]

In love with this guy.!!so innocence on his face

[@SteG73]

great video. thank's a lot, shifu. but i don't understand which type of oil you have used on the skin. Can you write the english name o the tipe of essence? thanks again. It's very good practice.

[@jpizzle470]

kinda like deep tissue massage but different.. like my traps are one of my trouble areas. using one of these tools to hit the trapezius muscle lightly and building up to progressivlely adding more force maybe the body will respond to that.. idk if thats how things work tho.. i think i might have fibromyalgia or something.. i havent been diagnosed with anything but my whole upper back is always on fire.

[@RobertF-]

This looks like it makes the skin tougher and less likely to break and start to bleed. Thin skin can be a big problem with some people where their skin breaks and rips way too easily. This conditioning seems like it makes the skin thicker and harder and much less likely to tear and bleed. It will make a moderate amount of callusing of the skin all over the body. Calluses are thick, hard skin that are don't rip or tear easily. Like very light armor over the skin. Very good.

[@LightDragon74]

the wood is for training internal martial arts, the metal is used for hard conditioning and dampening the magnetic field (aura)

[@grumpysquid]

Audio quality for talking is bad. Very difficult to understand

[@RikthDcruze]

he is using like a broom. In India we use a cane... Also we hit only muscles. he is hitting everywhere. Someday I need to try this Chinese method

[@LightDragon74]

I'm just a Wushu student (red sash) wish I could tell you more, look into something called microfracturing and you might get your answers there, just about every martial artist uses it at some point.

[@zachwells8994]

actually i use my fist to beat myself, and the results are legit. My ribs are like steel. This guy could probably break your stuff but id consider going from light to heavy training before starting heavy you may break something it depends on what you are working.

[@KyleTheDalek]

Zach Wells can you do it to all parts of your body? And does conditioning make nerves less sensitive or something so you don't feel pain as much?

[@greedkingcobalt200]

kylethedalek strengthens bone so it won't break as easily and deadens pain receptors. you could probably gut punch this guy and he'd probably laugh it off, he gut punches you on the other hand... his shins are a similar story.

[@KyleTheDalek]

tartarus tartarus thanks for the reply! What's a good way to start off ? Some say a bucket of sand ? And can you do it to all parts of your body ? And will this increase your pain threshold ? I'm really wanting to do all parts of my body, and increase my threshold. Any help is appreciated!

[@greedkingcobalt200]

kylethedalek I only know the theory behind it, never done it myself. I would assume that you could do full body hardening, but I have no idea on how to go about it. if you know any boxers or martial art practitioners, start with them. i'm certain there are websites devoted to the topic.

[@KyleTheDalek]

tartarus tartarus hey again, do you have any links to those sites ? I Can't really find that much. It would be much appreciated. Also would these increase your pain threshold and tolerance? Thanks again!.

[@pz3j]

Two specific questions are: should we try to strike the channels in their respective yin or yang directions? should we train certain channels during certain times of the day?

[@raimondsandze2239]

Why behave like that! Don't like it don't buy it, make it your self. Simple!

[@lorenzosantiago2127]

What's the nsme of ointmint that is need that. Iron shirt is great 👍

[@jpizzle470]

ah alright. have you ever heard of this method being applied to rehab or physical therapy? if it can make normal parts stronger maybe it can make weakened parts normal... i dont wanna be the first to try tho and have to tell my doctor that my pain is worse because ive been hitting my injuries :)

[@SingaporeWingChunKuen]

Very nice, thank you for sharing

[@rayuganda458]

Absolutely true. Tiger Balm is okay for Dit Da Jow but best place if you get off line is Master William Chun's website.

[@LightDragon74]

not just any wood, has to be bamboo or rattan because it's flexible stuff

[@cooler1854]

Do you condition solor plexus ? Above heart not heart ? Why not bottom of foot ?

[@Souvik65]

Shifu, can you please tell me what is the medicine made of?

[@PerryMatt]

Nice video!! Where can I buy both? The bamboo and the steel brush?

[@kaindrg]

it varies from school to school master to master. even muaythai fighers have one its basically a linament

[@cooler1854]

just below solar plexus striking with brush, Heard it connected to heart. Isn't it true dangerous to use brush there ? What about solor plexus safe ?

[@pigsy65]

Why not just use a 2 ft length of 2x1 wood!? it's cheap, you can get it easily and it does the same job.

[@thuaners]

very informative! thank you! :)

[@Lukrafiveman]

What do you call that type of stick? Is there a specific name for it? I've been looking to buy it everywhere and can't find it.... help!

[@HeroicHarishOfficial]

anatoly romanov there's a link in the description but if you want, you can make it yourself too.

[@gavinfarris7624]

I would buy a pack of barbecue skewers and duct tape them together on the sharp end.

[@AliMohammed-ri6xj]

anatoly romanov you can buy it every where at construction 🔨 places

[@concretemixer3018]

Iron whisk

[@gjigaqaquj]

Gavin Farris lmao that's what I was thinking. So simple and cheap.

[@yelurikesavaraghuveer1138]

What's he hitting himself with? What's that iron brush like instrument called?

[@smileykai77]

thank you shifu.

[@ryantyson6341]

I live in the united States at the moment but I would like to go to the Shaolin Monastery in China, would I be allowed to considering I was born in the united States

[@Jay2JayGaming]

Ryan Tyson a true Buddhist monestary would accept all students, provided they are sufficiently dedicated.

[@Nomadbushman]

What is the medicine? Does anyone know?

[@Mr420roller1]

dit da jow has many different recipes, most shifus create their own, mine had always called it "hit wine" used it on our hands before we hit gravelbags

[@konoyarobakayaro6120]

Is there anything for beginners in that book? stretching etc ? my joints are really weak.

[@eatmykwad]

thank you for sharing :)

[@markmahecha8974]

What kind of medicine is it?

[@jpizzle470]

my issue is with soft tissue/muscle pain not bones. also i wouldnt just start off smashing myself into trees id start slowly and progress very gradually. im wondering if doing that could help someone with soft tissue injury heal faster or make the area more tolerable to pain. im just looking into ways to get back to normal for now.. i wouldnt ever try that on myself tho unless i had a professional who was knowledgeable about that kind of thing guide me.

[@samuraironin9062]

A perferct start is doing pushups on your fist, bodyweight squads on the side of a foot.After that you can put some cushioned gloves on and start hitting soft trees like a birch, same with shins, for back i just fell down from a sitting position onto different surfaces

[@xirensixseo]

interesting. i learnt basic Qi Gong and Tai Qi, some of what i did can be seen here, but not with the wood. we did that with our hands. other than that, its new to me.

[@joseespinosa7874]

Whats the difernce of the wood or the iron instrument ?

[@ShifuYanLei]

Iron brush is only for very advanced stages, wood is bamboo which is soft, i have a video expelling the difference here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpuWp6urZ5qLrck 1:50 seconds in to it.

[@ronaldson57]

How often do you condition your body? How many years, months it take for the body to be fully condition?

[@gaming826]

Silvafox 6 months

[@gaming826]

I've been conditioning my palms with a bag fill of sands, rice, beans, i slap my stomach, hitting my shins with my fist, punching of my hands each other. i've been doing it for 6 months

[@VestigialHead]

+Silvafox Depends on how often and how intensely you do it. Start of light and 3-4 times a week. Then increase to 5 times a week. Then increase intensity. 2-3 years and you will be fully conditioned. But you will need to keep it up. If you stop then you will lose your conditioning in 4-5 months.

[@gaming826]

Kutulue Everyday, right?

[@VestigialHead]

+David Seville I usually do it 5 days a week with 2 days off to let my body heal. I have heard that Shaolin used to have 1 day a week with no physical training for same reason. But that might just be hearsay..

[@jpizzle470]

i wonder if this could be useful for people with injuries and pain.. my shoulder blades and ribs are always in pain maybe using the wood ones i would be able to condition these areas to handle more pain? anyone ever think or this or hear or anyone who does this?

[@ThePristineDean]

Can someone tell me what the "medicine" is?

[@combatfitness7092]

Can you use the wooden one to condition your cheeks and temple area or jaw ? Like hit it much lighter to condition your face.. like will it help give me an iron chin?

[@animasityal-waafy4713]

i dun know about dat unless you can handle dat kind of pain then do it for lulz

[@devenkingman9835]

If u r trying to not get KOd then no not really. Getting knocked comes from the brain moving inside of the skull from a sudden jerk of the head, so while yes u can strengthen the skin and bone, it wouldnt do much for u in a fight

[@Chupaflaba]

To get an iron chin, you need to train for strong jaw muscles and neck muscles to stop your head from jerking after being hit. Like Deven said, knockouts are from brains hitting the skull from a sudden jerk, so if you have those muscles, you can stop your head from moving so abruptly.

[@devonmac95]

dude would tear shit up if he was properly prepared, but a lot of traditional guys dont like the stigma of it

[@VestigialHead]

+devonmac95 It would likely be against his religion to compete. Also if he is not doing full contact sparring and has a ground game then he would get beaten. He has good body conditioning and is probably a great martial artist but that does not mean he is fight ready. No ground game is a quick way to lose in MMA.

[@jairoukagiri2488]

Some use alcohol base, some use vinegar, the blends are all secret, I just know it helps with muscles, bones, joints, blood circulation and pain soothing. Tiger Balm is also useful. White is for skin layer, green for muscle layer and red for bone and deep muscle depths. That stuff is usually camphor and menthol so it is similar to icy hot but not as extreme to me. I used green tiger balm for a few years until I ran out.

[@thegreatbanger]

Sifu Reason why you don't strike light chest solor plexus bottom of foot heels and toes ? Also, heard there are people that claim they can make bones strong only doing qi gong not external iron body . How is that possible ? Also when you 60 plus will you still do external iron body with steel bamboo ? Also for external iron body is it ok to just stay on gravel bag ? Or is it best to go to steel shots ?
