Evert, The exercises are similar to useage of dumbells, with the addition of movements that strengthen the grip and wrist, since the weight is not centered in the palm. Best Regards, Russ Russ, What kind of exercises are you doing with them? Also throwing and catching? Regards, Evert

Hi everyone, I haven't had the time to go through the entire thread, but where did the photo of 'Lam Yiu Gwai - Lung Ying' come from? Just curious as I train in LY too, and it's very hard to come by resources of the style unfortunately. Thanks for sharing it! BTW that's actually Lam Yiu Gwai's son Lam Wun Gong, but they do look very similar at the same age

[/IMG][/ quote] Da jia ni men hao I believe the pictures are about shin conditioning. In NCK, we also do this type of "fun", but we use the coconut tree log. Cheers.

Palm training:
We have several interesting hand conditioning drills, but especuially one I found GREAT. It was taught to me by my late Pak Mei Pai teacher Jie Kon Siew.
You need a candle and a newspaper. Fold the candle in the newspaper and beat on it with your knive hand till the candle is completely flat. In the beginning stage, 1 candle per two days.
I remember it was big fun to do. At the end of the week you collect the parts again, melt it and make new candles.
So many ways to exercise your hands, many branches had their own methods, worth to preserve.
Regards,
Evert.

Da jia ni men hao Nice pictures, if my memory serves me right, they are about " KALARIPAYIT (Battlefield/place practices)." In the last picture, they are not doing push ups, but exercising what they called "crocodile walk.". A very complete and detail history of martial arts in the world by Howard Reid and Michael Croucher in their book titled "THE way of the warrior.'" Cheers.

Hello from Boston,
I started in Uechi-Ryu when I was a kid and we use to use a routine called konteektai, where you and a partner would throw punches while the defender would block them slowly and with emphasis on conditioning his arms as well as yours.
I now use similar devices shown in many of the pictures. I have a steel tube filled with steel shot that I roll over my forearms and ging up and catch it.
Many Hakka arts seem to really develop the bridge arms to a high degree. I remember Master Gin Foon Mark of Jook Lum Tong Long Pai using hanging chains to train his forearms using a pushing action against them rather than a banging of the arms against the material.
Im a newbie to the list and just found it as it was linked from Kung Fu Online. I must say Im very impressed with the layout and content of your board.
Congratulations!
In Boston,
Dale Dugas
