LOL
Mei Hua i said that later on I learnt about Iron body from sites like these.
During those days(there was no internet too in my city atleast) i did not know about iron body. You got me wrong. totally
I am surprised by your response I think you just skimmed through my comment.
I said that when i was 11 i
have done the same conditioning you are talking about. Our karate sir would make one person hit the other person forearms with his shins. Standing up kick aimed at the face while the other person blocks it with his forearms. That and many other excercises like sleeping with shoulder and legs raised from the ground. He would make us do this uptill one hour then he would suddenly just run over our stomachs. We were all around 11 years to 16 years 4 of us.
I am surprised by our response because my friends think i am talking bull**** as now i am terribly out of shape but i know 4 guys who would agree ;-)
But you comment helped me

Yes if you read my comment properly i have stated that i used to break bricks on my head and too add more me and my friend both used break brick kick our knees against the wall and we used to stand only on our head while the other supported us very lightly by holding our feet. I used to hang calendars and poster all around my room because i would punch the wall and after a few month the plaster would all chip off and i would have to take a new place.
All this was inspired by old chinese movies. I have never taken training.
You comment proved that i have an irond body because i was doing that all the time.
Infact even now i can still punch a wall quite hard enough.
Well i am not going to take the trouble to prove it to you.
But i think your comment has helped me i did know about iron body or iron shirt but just my copying various training techniques like a mad man i had acheieved.
I am more confident that i will be able to achieve it again through systematic training. I never knew about tai chi and even though many movies used to show it we never practiced it because it was too boring.

We were only 16.
Now i think that the meditation which i used to do is what made gave me more strength that my friend who used to do the same work outs but he was not as strong as me and couldnt bear as much pain. Even though when we started he was more stronger than me.
Anyways i hope you next read the comments properly before flaming someone like this.
I am used to this kind of response that is why i am so cool
There are many other things my friends who know me from recently like i used to have 30 inch thighs and they never could believe that i used to do more that 500 pushups in a day(twice a day and in sets of 15-50 in different position like fist, finger etc-- i though i would mention the details before you flame me again

) Because now i cannot take more than even 1 pushup. I weight 112 kgs.
Well i am here to learn and i am very much aware that nobody is going to pay me money or anything else if i proved to that "once upon a time" i was ... you know whatever.
I just posted the comment because from the time(years later i lost all my physical abilities due to smoking and even a short stint with drugs) I browsed the net and came across sites which spoke about tai chi and iron shirt, i always believed that i may have achieved it in those days and wanted to ask someone and confirm it so i get the inpiration to do it. If i have achieved it once then it should be easy even though i am totally out of shape at present.
After reading about it on the net i wanted to achieve it but i am just finding it so hard to lose weight forget about starting off tai-chi.
But i think it must have had.
Anyhow waiting for comments from less harsher members.
And is it possible for me to acheive it again. It has been 2and a half years since i have left smoking. I weight 102 kgs now. Leading a sedenatory lifestyle for more than 5 years except for the occasion attempt to loose weight which did not last for more than a month.
