Iron Shirt Chi Kung Gallery
Shaolin Iron Shirt Chi Kung is the stuff of legends. Only students who
show the required levels of commitment are selected and must undergo oath
taking ceremonies before the secret practices are taught to them. Once
the skill is developed, the student learns how to move his internal energy
or Chi to areas of the body to protect them from blows that would cripple
or serious injure a normal person.
If you are considering training with Nam Yang Martial Arts Association,
we hate to dissapoint you but you won't be practicing Iron Shirt Chi Kung
when you begin training. It goes without saying, do not try to replicate
any of these feats without the appropriate training as they involve considerable
risk of injury.
Master Armstrong shows face washing the Shaolin way - in broken glass!
After rubbing the glass which was freshly broken in front of an audience
in Central London, no cuts nor redness is left. In fact no tiny splinters
or glass shards even stick to the skin.
Lying on a bed of broken glass, slabs are placed on Master Armstrong's
stomach. These were then forcibly broken using a sledgehammer! Again,
no injury is sustain either to his front or back.
A senior Nam Yang student demonstrates the use of Geng destructive energy
as he smashes five blocks with a single blow. Such feats are not done
through brute strength alone and the secrets of Geng and Chi are what
makes the Shaolin Martial Arts one of the most lethal fighting systems
ever.
Standing on his head a student opens his legs. Master Armstrong delivers
a strike so powerful to his exposed groin that the staff breaks in two!
The student will after stand, smile and no injury is sustained. Feats
like this made the Shaolin Martial Artist among the most feared adversary.
How can you harm someone who can smile after that?!
Another student demonstrates the inconceivable powers to take devastating
blows unharmed that Shaolin Iron Shirt Chi Kung confers by receiving
multiple strikes
Here the student on the top is taking blows to the stomach with an axe
- the standard type of axe that anyone can buy in a hardware store
This is a rare feat few Iron Shirt Chi Kung exponents can perform. Here
Master Armstrong has his head sandwiched between blocks. A sledgehammer
is then used to break both the blocks on top and underneath - that shows
that the Kinetic Energy of the impact
is passing through his head into the lower block!
In this demonstration the student places the tip of the spear in soft point
at the end of the windpipe and between the collar bones. He then walks
forward into the spear with such force the spear bends!
