Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Greetings Friends, This is our last workshop in our continuing education series for 2007 and it's going to be dynamite (see full info below)! Good iron body training is rare and hard to find and is often reserved as special training, accessible only by advanced students of kungfu. Iron palm was designed to safely increase the density of the bones in a martial artists hands so that their strikes would become devastating. Iron vest was designed to toughen the torso, allowing practitioners to take blows that would previously be crippling. In recent years these techniques have also been used by the medical community to combat conditions such as osteoporosis, reduce tendancy towards bruising, strengthen confidence in the elderly and lend a feeling of empowerment to those that have been victims of assault. Shifu Dugas has been both a martial artist for the past 15 years and a medical nurse. He is highly skilled in the area of Chinese herbology and trauma medicine, and teaches iron body training as both a martial arts tool, and a tool for medical practitioners. Don't miss this rare opportunity to study this hard to find subject for both the martial and medical world. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Sincerely yours, Jim Donnelly American Society of Internal Arts *********************************************************** CREATING AN IRON BODY: ART OF THE STONE WARRIOR Instructor: Shifu Dale Dugas November 17 - 18, 2007 Starting time: 9:00 AM Saturday / 9:00 AM Sunday Location: Internal Gardens School of Classical Taijiquan in Northern N.J. For directions to workshop, visit: www.InternalGardens.com To register online, visit: www.americansocietyofinternalarts.org/continuingeducation/ continuingeducation.html For more info call 973-202-9409 Iron body training, which consists of iron palm training and iron vest training (sometimes called golden bell training), is an ancient practice of Chinese martial arts masters, developed to increase the body's ability to withstand physical trauma and give the hands and fists the ability to deliver devastating blows. The training takes advantage of the human body's response to specialized conditioning work designed to make the bones harder and the flesh more resilient. There are both internal and external versions of this training, right ways and wrong ways of performing the gong. Performed incorrectly, this training can cause longterm permanent damage to hands and body. Performed correctly, it will transform you into an iron body martial artist, strengthening your body without damaging it and increasing your striking power. In this workshop, Shifu Dale Dugas of Coiling Dragon Internal Arts will teach you everything you need to know to become a stone warrior. You will learn the proper way to perform several different methods of both internal and external iron palm and body training. The weekend will break down as follows, with Saturday focused on iron palm and forearms training, proper usage of dit da jow, etc., and Sunday you will learn a " 24 exercise " qigong system for strengthening fascia, together with techniques for strengthening the rib cage. Join Shifu Dale Dugas as you learn the training techniques that will give you a body of iron and fists of steel in a SAFE and SANE manner that will allow you to retain your flexibility, dexterity and skin like a baby's bottom. DVD's will be available for sale after the workshop, covering everything you'll learn in the workshop.The registration price INCLUDES an 8 oz bottle of custom " dit da jow " liniment for each person, a $25 value!
