Ahem....so anyway... I've been training pretty hard and have beat myself up a bit. Not enough time to heal naturally between classes.
So if you get a "normal" bruise from punching bags or forearm knocking etc, how is that different from the bruises you get from iron palm training? Isn't punching bags or arms or whatever trying to "build up" your body parts like iron XX? I am wondering what jow to put on my rather bruised and swollen knuckles and wrists, and why iron palm jow is different than regular jow.

Opinions welcome!
