Iron Palm Part 8
One of the tests for this involves the use of a thick phone book. The receiving student holds the phone book over their belly and the striking student hits the phone book and their palm print has to appear on the receiving student’s belly. Healing methods for many of the energetic strikes are included. Once you learn how you actually practice the strikes and healing energy and methods for these by practicing the Tai Chi set and Push Hands which makes it sound simpler than it is because it is quite a bit to learn and it takes a lot of work, patience and diligent practice while you are being guided/advised by a competent teacher to get it right. Q. Do you do anything differently than other systems to teach their iron palm method? A. I have not met anyone else in the United States who trains their Iron Palm in the manner and progression I have described to you above. Q. How do you keep young or beginning students from doing permanent damage to their hands? A. Our training method described above is designed specifically to avoid this from ever being a problem while giving the practitioner Internal Iron Palm and energy skills that they can use for the rest of their life. Q. How long does it take to master your system? A. Specific aspects and methods of training in isolation can be mastered quite quickly. However, the full curriculum requires many dedicated years of training to complete. Q. What kind of jow do you use and what is the history behind it? A. Lee sold a personal family recipe liniment appropriately called Lee’s Liniment that was advertised in many of his original books during the 1960’s and included in subsequent printings all the way up until at least the 1980’s.
