If you write wing chun, it would be wing chun kuan.

ba hahahahahahahaha 🤣 yeah he certainly used a lot on his wife's spare tire, ...she gonna be madddddddd 😡

You must be hard of hearing. He did say as you progress you can take layers off

Thank you for your comment and opinion. I think most practioners would agree that hand conditioning like this is prevalent in traditional forms like karate and kung fu. There are anatomical benefits as long as this is done safely, over time. While increasing grip strength is very important, conditioning the bones, muscles and tendons of the hands and forearms to strike a hard surface such as the jaw bone is necessary to avoid injury. Thanks again for your comment.

Conditioned knuckles do more damage in a real situation than soft one's. Fact!

Hi and thanks for your comments and opinion. To be fair, this was a video for conditioning...hence the title, "conditioning," not a video on sparring. The intent here was to show some methods and DIY tools we use at our school for that purpose. Thanks again for watching.

Where is your video footage of training, sparring, fights etc?? Smh. Stfu

Hi Friend. Bottom is three bus tires, top is three SUV tires. Bolted together (you will go through several bits). A little bit of old wrestling mat and some old vinyl from a gym mat. Thank for asking.

@@tatsudojollc4694 thanks for the reply.

Unless I missed it he's striking bare handed anyway (?)

Excellent question. The sagittal band is an aponeurosis, a flat band of fibrous tissue that takes the place of a tendon in broad muscular areas. For example, a large swath of the calf muscles are connected to the tibia by aponeurosis. Striking hard objects, as seen here can and will cause scarring, particularly in the synovial joints. However, slow, methodical practice, not just working through pain, can cause subtle physiological and neuromuscular responses the EVENTUALLY lead to a desired outcome . But you can't start out this way. This is the product of 40 years of conditioning.

@@tatsudojollc4694 Thank YOU sir for taking the time to help guide me on this❤️ I have searched endlessly yet you are the first person who really addressed the band directly with me🙏❤️ Aside from slow and steady are their any other key things to look out for to avoid causing more harm then good as we try to strengthen the tendon? Or is all kinda occuring in unison with the bone and skin toughening? I guess my question is on how to tell ya gave the tendon enough time to catch up to the healing of the rest of your hand, or if just happens in unison with the rest of the hand? Or should extra caution be placed until a certain point that allows you to know the tendon it self has grown stronger? Like after calluses develope or some indicator that there is protection for the band? (I was just giving an example because I have no clue what to look for to know the tendon is safe to keep going) Any tips would be AWESOME ❤️

@@hope4ourfallen Thank you for your interest. Conditioning the hands and knuckles, no matter how safely or correctly you practice, does present risk of injury, damage and/or alteration to your joints. Now, of course, this is the goal if you are talking about a life time of training, particularly in karate or another striking art. Probably not something you want to do if you are a brain surgeon, but most people can train this way and produce the results they desire without causing dysfunction or arthritis. Keep in mind, those things are always a risk. My best advice is not to engage in this type of conditioning just because some might say, "that's just the way it's done." You can attain many of the same benefits by using a heavy bag, wraps and gloves. Boxers hit hard, you know? You may want to take a look at another video we put up last week on building a makiwara and how to use it. czcams.com/video/Z9i5VbIsChc/video.html It's a little long but does address some of your concerns. Thanks again for watching.

@@tatsudojollc4694 thank you so much for your assistance 😊 I am actually in the process of building a makiwara as we speak..so I will definitely check out your video ❤️ I have always loved martial arts and trained for many years.. but have been out of formal training for about 20 years now..My goal is to retrain some of my old skills, and won't be beating my paws to death like I woulda back as a teen..Slow and steady is fine by me.😊Thank you again for helping guide me back in.❤️

@@tatsudojollc4694 first barehanded punch I threw at a guy who attacked me I damaged the sagittal band of my third mcp, it took me 4 months to recover and train again (I didn't go for surgery cause I never lost the movements though it seems to have caused me a minor subluxation), and I'll probably never be like before, I can now train and spar light contact with wraps and 16 ounces gloves but I kinda lost my strong hand as I fear it might get worse if I tried to punch full contact again. So do you think these exercises will reinforce bands and tendons as well? cause bones are fine here, I didn't expect to damage tendons or any soft tissue...

Agreed. He is awesome.

and he slaps rocks.
