Unbreakable Bones: Silat Conditioning Methods Revealed

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Does anyone have any other bone conditioning methods they want to share?

[@skryptre]

Using a door, hit it with your forearm towards your opposite side, blocking it's motion with your other forearm by hitting it back towards the first forearm, repeat. Can be done with several different arm positions, training elbow strikes, etc.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

@@skryptre thank you for sharing. Sounds like you are replacing your doors often. 👍🏻

[@jordanorsetmobilite7449]

Heavy bag with full power is often neglected, it stumulates bone growth very effectively as well, with less focus on the pain tolerance. Heavy strength training stimulates bone growth and density aslo but since bones grow directionally it doesn't transfer as much.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

@@jordanorsetmobilite7449 The heavy bag is another great tool. I use mine all the time as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@firevision997]

Rock solid! Conditioning like this for years not only will allow you to smash thru bones w/o flinching, but also how to handle pain.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

True story my brother. Thanks for the comment.

[@guyemerson7640]

Effective conditioning methods for sure 👍🏻

Amazing work brother. You are a monster

Thank you brother!!

[@fatpipe811]

This man could carve you up like a thanksgiving turkey😮 goddamn

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

lol!

[@jamescantrell5639]

@fatpipe811 my answer might sound silly until put into practice, but do you know what the best weapon (especially when combined with silat) is for knife defense?

[@prof.san_921]

Great conditioning techniques! As for the knuckles and finger tips, you can start incrementally pushing/hitting and thrusting, respectively, grain sand (or rice); afterwards, wood; finally stone. For the palms, building up open palm strikes to wood (the coconut would be great).

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Great input. You can also strike the coconut with the fist.

[@unfilterednations]

nice video man, as Indonesian I concur that techniques, we also learn to hit a palm tree since youth in our silat padepokan. and also what you do is good for the nerve and clear clog blood vein it makes you healthy.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Thank you brother. Thank you for sharing your conditioning info. Conditioning for years has definitely made a difference in every aspect of my martial arts and health.

[@1mataleo1]

Is it necessary to use medicine on the areas afterwards? Like linament or Dit Da Jow?

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

@@1mataleo1 when first starting out is is a good idea to use dit if you have it. I use balor oil it is the Indonesian version of dit. Remember to give yourself a few days to heal up before pounding on the limbs again.

[@sofiad7773]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

[@Truthbtold74]

I've heard of these conditioning methods, but great to see them put into action and explained! They certainly do look effective, thank you!

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the content.

[@yisraelaker6696]

Awesome where can I purchase the rattan you have it great thickness,? Is there way get the coconut ? Thank you guru Darren

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Glad you like the video. The sticks I get from bloodsport.com 1” 1/4 thickness. As for the coconuts I live in Florida and I have them all over the place. I’m not sure if you can purchase them online or not. If you search out an Asian market they might have green coconuts that you can buy and train the conditioning on them.

[@rodneywilson8672]

I condition my forearms and shins on wooden dummy and also use the rayan stick the way he is using it and iron palm training and herbs to heal the areas i condition

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Nice!! 👍🏻

[@Maman-Setrum]

triangle mark. I think that is for learning the basic "langkah silat". one straight mark, triangle mark, 4 square mark.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Yes, langkah tiga and empat.

[@roymadjid4474]

as an indonesian .. im proud of you ... coz you more expert than me on Pencak silat

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Thank you sir. It’s an honor to represent the mother land.

[@jamescantrell5639]

For anyone who doesn't know, or is curious about Silat. If you notice during the arm strikes (1:28) his palm is facing him. Go ahead and test out what I'm about to tell you sitting at your desk. Hold your arm up like your waving at someone with your palm out towards the screen, then lightly smack the side of your arm facing the monitor. (what he's doing) Now, keep your arm up, but turn your palm towards your face, then lightly smack your arm in the same spot. Notice the difference? If your palm is facing the opponent (or your evil monitor in this scenario) your hitting with the fatty part of your arm, not the bone, and it will cushion your attack. Simply turning your palm towards your face causes the meaty part of your arm to face away from your opponent so the solid hard bone can strike causing more damage.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Nice breakdown of the strike man. You always come with solid comments. Thank you!

[@jamescantrell5639]

@EdgedTacticalSystems I have a good Guru who takes time to explain and then demonstrates to reinforce his explanation for anyone who has questions. His whole family (wife son, daughter) are all instructors and do the same. It's a great place to learn.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

@@jamescantrell5639 that’s great! Good Gurus are hard to find.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

Thank you!! I have gotten sticks from this site. Stick size 28” long 1” 1/4 thick. www.bloodsport.com/

[@yisraelaker6696]

@@EdgedTacticalSystems thank you. Guru Darren I usually use the tree for conditioning I wrap thick cloth or rope wrap around the tree. I use iron palm bag the young coconut as great I will have check if I find a supermarket that has young coconut for conditioning ,and as well I use dit da formula.

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

That’s perfect!! Keep doing what your doing brother.

[@mysterynine2735]

do you put water on your skin to help numb the pain or you let the pain resonate for your conditioning?

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

@@mysterynine2735 the only thing that I apply to my skin if I go to hard is balur oil for bruising. 99% of the time I let the bruising heal on their own.

[@mysterynine2735]

Got it, thank you very much

Do you have to use any tips of linament (Dit Da Jow) after doing this? Thanks

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

When first starting out it is a good idea to use dit if you have it. I use balor oil it is basically the Indonesian version of dit. Give yourself a few days in between conditioning for the bruising to heal as well.

Start of slow 1-2 times a week or every 3rd day is a good rule of thumb.

How effective is a zoom class if it’s not hand to hand ?

[@EdgedTacticalSystems]

It’s very effective I have students train zoom with me all the time. Obviously being in class getting that hand to hand is the best. If you have a training partner that would do it with you that would be ideal. Tons of people all over the world train by zoom. At the end of the day it’s what you put into it when you’re training on your own.
