of course, we should all be hitting the heavy bag to test our skill, but this thing is cool for measuring..

i wonder, how hard could the monks hit

I just tried to check out the site, and it seems Adepta has discontinued production of whatever this product is and is trying to sell the patent...

[shaolinstylee]

Yeah, link doesn't work, and the website says they don't do that no mo'

but from what it says, it looks like it would have been cool.....

I think I have seen them on other sites but the thought of measuring my punches does intrigue me...

when I was studying a hybrid karate style, we had this thing that you attached to a heavy bag that measured your punches...I can't remember what I got, 70-80lbs pressure per sq inch I want to say...

some guys came to the USAT with a prototype machine that measured power of a punch and kicks, they asked SYM to hit it and after he laid the smackdown a bunch of wires popped out and it broke.

they later came to him with an idea of doing a contest on a tournament circuit, so he developed the rules for their striking contest. You had to use your lead hand or foot, and throw from standing, with no windups or hops.

we saw them at a Baltimore Wushu festival and when he saw them with their new rig he walked over and made as if to line up to take a whack...they went white and were like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...!"

p.s. Vince I stumbled on a real good slice of pizza the other day...down w3rd, just before you hit 6th ave...

[dogchow108]

Mmmm...pizza, my fondest memories from New york last year were Shi Yan Ming's class, really sore muscles, Chinatown and lots and lots of Pizza....


New Year's was kinda cool too.

Thanks for the tip, I'm booking a trip soon.

Hit hard enough to achieve your objective.

anything more is a waste of energy.

And thus comes the paradigm of training control, the implicationsof which are the reasons i frown on excessive sparring.

[shaolinstylee]

dog, do you not think that sparring teaches you control.. I'm sure there are some that would argue that it teaches the utmost in control of power.
