Shaolin Iron Palm Bag - Extra Large Intermediate

These are specially made oversized training bags for someone who has large hands and needs a bigger striking area, or for use with partner workout techniques (two people training together on the same bag at the same time). The partner method is to motivate or push each other to train longer, strike harder and to have greater harmony of energy.

Intermediate level training bags are filled with special sized smooth, round-shaped natural gravel. After 3 months of training with the mung beans, the skin and muscles have built up a strong foundation. The practitioner is now ready to move on to gravel to condition the ligaments and bones.

Weight: 16 pounds
Size: 12”x13”

These bags are specially made exclusively for Iron Palm training. The design and dimensions are specified by the world renowned Iron Palm expert, Shaolin Master Gu Ru Zhang (1893 - 1952). Zhang used an internal open palm strike to break thirteen bricks in a solid stack. Another famous story of Zhang’s Iron Palm is about a Russian circus that had posed an open challenge that if anyone could take on its "fighting horse”, they would get $1,000. After surviving three kicks from the horse, Zhang managed to slap the horse. He used the same palm strike to the horse’s back as he used in breaking bricks. The horse died instantly without any external damage, but a later autopsy revealed major damage to the internal organs.

These Iron Palm training bags are made of lightweight durable canvas, to provide long lasting strike training. They are filled and stitched with the optimum amount of material (mung beans, gravel, or steel shot depending on your skill level) and are ready for your Iron Palm training. This type of bag can also be used for any other styles of open hand or fist conditioning training. They are a must-have training tool for all martial arts.
