Iron Palm Part 6 By Richard Clear At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Continued from Iron Palm Q&A With Sigung Richard Clear Part 5

At the next level students begin Lao Gung development. Also, students learn how to focus and condense Chi and energy flow. They train Internal Iron Palm and Poison Hand specifically as well as the Whip hand and fighting methods that generate strikes from the legs and spine out to the hands. Students also learn how to evade Iron Palm strikes while still landing their own hit(s) and how to internally and externally redirect the energy of energetic hits they receive so that if they are hit they can mentally redirect the energy back out of their body and not be vitally damaged. At this level there is more wood breaking including a required level of proficiency when breaking boards with the finger tips when performing whip strikes. Also, students have to be able to hold a board in one hand and break it with their other hand.

Intermediate Methods include (but are not limited to) penetrating palm, crushing palm, vibrating palm, short distance hitting, introductory no-distance hitting, the transference of shock power hitting and utilizing the lao gong to energetically hit. Skill tests include being able to hold two boards in one hand and break them both or only break one of the two boards, as chosen by the instructor, with their other hand. So, in reality they have to be able to break either one or all of them by choice. Also, by now brick breaking is tested and the student has to break at least one brick. The average student has the power/ability to break a brick prior to testing for it at this level but I do not rush brick breaking in accordance with what Tyrone taught me.
