anyone on here do martial arts?

Those who knock the "Iron Palm" - its a foundation skill of all Chinese martial Arts & is 1000 year old method.

Im sure having an "iron palm" is useful, like kickboxers hardening the skin around the shins and that...but by itself?...not so much, unless your a builder and you forget your hammer at home lol

I have done a little in the past (Kyokushin, TKD, CQB with Todd Group) but hadn't done anything since late 90's.

Went to BJJ last night and joined an hour rolling session!! After 3x3 minute rounds I was ready to spew, had a pounding headache and was gassed as f*ck!!! :nod: I did the whole beginner thing and grabbed so much my forearms pumped up & I could hardly move my fingers!

Had a great time - first roll I got wiped by the instructor, tapped out (gi choke) by a skinny 18 yo, I tapped out another young guy (choke), got tapped out by a skinny 20 yo (arm bar), I tapped out another guy (rear choke), and had a few good tussles with others.

I'm there - aim is to get fit over summer and have some fun. Will drop back to 2 days weights & 2 days BJJ. Will be nice when I'm actually skilled enough to be able to transfer my strength to the sport.

Highly recommended!
