Iron Body Training is part of Shaolin Kung Fu where the practitioner trains his body to withstand heavy blows without seriously injuring various parts of the body and helps to master many other skills. This article will tell you exactly how to train your fingertip kicks to strengthen your attack.

Steps

1. 1 You need to familiarize yourself with the Five Steps of Qigong Breathing. It would be helpful to have a high quality Dit Da Jow ointment for preparation and treatment.
2. 2 Prepare your hands by directing Chi / Force into them. After you activate chi, you can train your arms 5 days a week, 7 to 20 weeks (100 times). Use Dit Da Jow (DDJ) before and after each exercise. If you can always prepare your hands correctly without mistakes, you can move on to the next step.
3. 3 Prepare a bowl, saucepan, or similar that's twice as deep as the length of your brushes and 4 times wider. Fill a jar with boiling water. Pour water into container before starting 5-step breathing preparation. When your hands are ready: Perform 100 strokes of the snake head style brush (50 each hand) for 5 days, 7 to 20 weeks, with no mistakes or setbacks to progress to the next level.
4. 4 Replace the water in the jar with soft, very soft sand. As before, prepare your brushes with DDJ Ointment and Five Step breathing (FSB). Make sure to keep your nails short, otherwise you will get sand underneath and it will be very painful. You are not ready for this yet. Now dip the brushes in the sand so that 4 fingers are completely in the sand. And train again until you do this 100 times, 50 for each hand in one workout. Now start to gradually increase the speed of the hits until you reach the limit. Do this slowly, as this is a life-changing stage. Alternatively, you can supplement this workout with 100 push-ups, first on the fists, and then on the middle three fingers of each hand.
5. 5 Never scratch your skin! Always stop if your skin is damaged and start over!
6. 6 Replace soft sand with coarse sand pellets and repeat the previous workout, while continuing with three-toe push-ups. If you manage to do 100 push-ups on both arms for 5 days out of 7 - DO NOT proceed to the next step. Again, if you can work with this sand as easily as with soft sand and at a good speed, move on to the next level.
7. 7 After you can easily handle mung beans, replace them with rounded river pebbles with smooth edges. Repeat the workout as in the previous steps!
8. 8 And finally, in the last stage, you need to replace the gravel with iron or steel balls and repeat the workouts. Workouts can be considered complete when you manage to carry out the blows painlessly or without injuring your hands.
9. 9 AND AGAIN REMEMBER, IF THE SKIN OF YOUR BRUSHES BLEEDS, THEN YOU SHOULD START FROM THE BEGINNING. IF YOU FEEL PAIN IN JOINTS - Slow down! AND BEST TO DO TRAINING WITH CHI KUNG OR KUNG FU MASTER.

Tips

• During your workouts, you should use a fist ointment to avoid injury. This ointment is called Die (1) Da (3) Jiu (3) in Chinese, and is commonly known in the Western world as Dit Da Jow. Applying this ointment to the affected areas before and after training, rubbing it thoroughly into the skin, prevents further injuries caused by the iron body technique. Liniment is obtained from Chinese first-aid posts or ordered via the Internet. Make sure it can be used specifically for Iron Body workouts.

Warnings

• It is an art that cannot be grasped quickly, it is for life. Make sure you are as ready as possible to get started.
• This preparation affects the bones and leads to thickening of the skin. May lead to unwanted deformations such as shortening of fingers. In order to receive such training, it is necessary to consider the possible risks. This type of iron body training is the least recommended due to its high tendency to deformity.
