Martial artist who punches metal?

[Douglas]

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?

[Von Milash]

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..

[iceman]

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

Yeah! It was a while back on the Discovery channel about a "Chinese man" who punch steel 1000 times a day. I'm not sure also... perhaps he is called " Iron Tiger, Iron fist..Iron Claws" Not sure! I goggle his name nothing show up but this site. He is one of the Shaolin master and a Chinese War Hero retired somewhere in Canada. If anyone know who this guy is please tell me... Thanks!

I have never done it mate because it doesn't suit me and i feel that its a bit inappropriatet thing to do i mean punching the metal and all otherwise martial arts is something pretty cool and doing it can be wonderful.
