western boxing and kungfu

Can I ask about the hand/forearm conditioning everyone is doing? For hands I do palm, fist, claw, panther fist, back-of-the-hand pushups, and for forearms go crazy with the chopsticks, and some dynamic stretches for the sinues. What do you guys recommend?

TaoBoy,

Any chance of those articles being posted on your website? I’m suprised Blitz is still operating - AFA, Impact etc folded, but are there any new mags on the scene in Oz at the moment?

We do dynamic tension and hard qigong to strenghten the forearms and also we have a two-person conditioning set (basically making contact to the forearms to condition them).

Blitz is actually doing really well.

The two articles I have written are on my kung fu school site (url in signature). Go to Library->Articles.

Thanks for those! I’m reading your article about the guard at the moment - very clear and explicit! I was wondering if their might be any online SPM pages showing the possible guards (checked http://www.melbkungfu.com/pages/library_05.htm for the two guards and sequences!) ?

Just read the article you printed off for me. Its very good and the last bit on conditioning is close to what some of this thread is about, strangely enough.
