    No, I don't think it was from a movie. Seems like I saw it on Discovery channel or a channel similar to it.

    I'm no doctor but that sounds kinda far fetched. I know there is strength training for your shins you can do to toughen them up, but punching metal to make your knuckles like iron..... I dunno.

    If its possible that would be a nice advantage to have in MMA fights haha.

    don't forget theirs skin and flesh before any knuckle making impact on anything let alone metal. you going to need iron skin and flesh before you can have metal knuckles.

    I was bare knuckle shadow boxing a few month ago and I miss the punching bag by a few inches and hit the side of the wall and my knuckles swelled up and my skin torn with the flesh expose. Thats the reality even if a tough tough men say it doesn't hurt. the human body will bleed or swell up when the impact is strong. Anything else is pure bullshyt.

    The thing is, he didn't punch metal very hard. He would only just touch his knuckles against metal when starting out. I think it took years of gradually building up before he got to where he is now.

    yeah it was iron and silk, a movie based on dudes traning and travel in China...i wouldn't try it, you will tear hell out of your skin, and deform your knuckles...and if you do, use your non-writing hand...you may have to sign checks in the futre.also as for mma, what use unless you have iron chin and body as well?

    Well, I think a lot of what we hear about shit like kung fu is exactly that.. shit... but I would say that there is some truth to this kind of training. A) your skin would callous like a mofo B) your nerve endings would slowly die, and C) your bones would become stronger due to Wolfe's law, which is the basic reason why power lifters' bones can endure such loads.

    But you'd probably get one really bad case of arthritis down the road..

    yes arthritis would be a definite thing to look forward to and like the death touch guy in the second or so UFC, you will still get your ass handed to you and be embarrassed as well...try just training and leave fiction to good authors
