Bagua Zhang Iron Palm & Iron Body Training
Starting in June, we will return to Bagua Zhang Iron Palm and Iron Body training.
This practice is integral to Bagua Zhang practice, and we will be covering Bagua Zhang’s approach to these training methods.
If you have trained Bagua Zhang with us previously and want a refresher or introduction to these training methods, please respond to this post/message to confirm and register.
Here’s the list for the equipment you’ll need for your Iron Palm training.
In all, the equipment is relatively inexpensive and easy to acquire.
Equipment needed:
- canvas sand bags, 3: approximately 1’ x 1’, DIY made from denim (used jeans), mail bags or bank money bags, or canvas tool bags from a hardware store; double-stitched to avoid tearing/spilling; 1 filled with grain, another filled with sand, another filled with either polished gravel or steel shot/bb’s
- Barrel, large vase, or Tall kitchen trash can: 10-13 gallon, round is best but rectangular or square is fine;
- Cheap grain, 50 pounds: either rice or feed-corn, to put in trash can and canvas bags
- Mung Beans: approximately 3-5 pounds to mix with grain in trash can (good for skin)
- Cedar balls: pack of 100, to mix with grain in grain barrel/can (to keep away insects)
- Concrete Cinder blocks, 2-4: for base, platform and weight training
- Concrete patio stones, rectangular, 2-4: 16” x 8”, for base, platform, cover for barrel/can, and weight training
- 2 staffs and/or 2 escrima sticks
- Iron Hitting Ointment (Dit Da Jow, 跌打酒 – Dié Dǎ Jiǔ “Fall- Hitting Liniment/Wine”) from an apothecary in Chinatown, or Wing Lam Enterprises https://wle.com/collections/training , or Black Belt Herbs http://www.blackbeltherbs.com/ , or Dr. Dale Dugas https://www.daledugas.com/
We will be focusing primarily on Iron Palm Training methods during classes for the month of June. We will be discussing this topic in more detail and how it integrates with other aspects of Bagua Zhang training!
