[QUOTE=Yum Cha;1054229]One of my guys is a waterproofer. He works a brush with heavy tar day in, day out. Fingertip push ups on concrete, the right way, and he’s got a grip you can’t break. I think it takes that kind of lifestyle that goes beyond training to achieve those kinds of skills.[/QUOTE]

Fanatical training in a given aspect of kung fu can give you the right results. Unfortunately, nowadays people rarely do that, in favor of training fanatically for sports competitions to perhaps win medals…

[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;1054174]Hey, cut the brother some slack !
It’s not my fault that you guys don’t get sarcasam !!

I knew a guy, tiger claw dude, he could bend a wrench, roll up a frying pan, do some serious crap with his grip and guess what? HE could make that **** work for him.
Could I? Nope.
Could you? Nope.
Could 99& of the people here? Nope.
But he could and that is where some of these “tales” come from, the genetic freaks that make them famous.[/QUOTE]

I think that in some cases it may be a genetic freak, in others it may be focused training in a given aspect of a given TCMA.

Imagine if you had spent all your MA career training various styles of Tiger Claw, together with their Iron Skills, and under genuine Tiger masters, and with the same intensity and dedication that you trained your other MAs. I bet that you would have now had a viscious claw and penetrative power (no jokes please:D)!

Turning the back is not the only problem. Crossing the legs can be worse.

I thought that you MMA guys only rubbed your bodies with olive oil as it helps your “bonding” process…LOL!

Cung Le turned his back to his opponent. If you have good turn kick, turning you back will be a good trap.
