What is Iron Palm?
A Weapon That's Always With You
An Iron Palm is a hand that can deliver powerful, destructive hits without taking damage to your hand.
If you hit the opponent / assailant one time on their hand or arm, they will be damaged (maybe permanently). If you hit them on the head, they can’t continue to fight and are most likely knocked out cold.
The benefit of Iron Palm is that it enables you to have a
personal weapon with you everywhere you go. It's like
you instantly have a brick or a heavy piece of steel.
An Iron Palm hit can break bones. With time and training it can easily project force inside a person and disrupt or destroy their internal organs.
It's easiest to split Iron Palm into two major families:
External Iron Palm
External Iron Palm methods often involve intense conditioning exercises done over time to "harden" the hand.
If you do not follow explicit instructions directly under the guidance of a live instructor, External Iron Palm training can badly damage you.
External Iron Palm methods can give you very powerful hits, but they are a bit crude.
VS
Internal Iron Palm
Internal Iron Palm is a high level training method from Tai Chi Chuan.
These methods include Qigong practices and Internal Power skills that keep your hands soft and pliable while making them very poweful.
Internal Iron Palm can do more than just surface damage:
These strikes can injure bones, organs, joints, or even cause damage like whiplash.

-Tyrone Jackson
Who Taught Richard Clear Iron Palm?
(pardon the grainy old photos)
Sigung Tyrone Jackson
Grandmaster Tyrone Jackson knew quite a few methods of iron palm, but the very first one he showed me was simple enough.
It developed a very basic form of Iron Palm without damaging your hand. It was powerful enough, but he had quite a bit more to teach, and during my years of study with him I pried out more and more of his secret methods.
You'll notice from the names to the left that Tyrone's lineage runs through Lee Ying Arng -- the man who wrote the original Iron Palm in 100 Days. While it's pretty hard to learn much from the book alone, Tyrone learned those methods live and in person from Dr. Fred Wu.
Lee's methods were passed on to me through my teachers, and I've been teaching them openly for over 30 years.
Willem deThouars (Uncle Bill)
Uncle Bill is one of the last remaining legends in the Martial arts world. Even now in his mid 80s he is the most dangerous person I've ever met. He's famous for denting steel doors, (and even a dumpster) with his punches.
When I passed the test, Uncle certified me on the spot. He also gave me the "hand bolt" symbol, telling me "This is your symbol – you have this skill."
At his direction, I've used it for my school and my students ever since.
Uncle and I are "Hanging Loose!"
My Training With Iron Palm
What I THOUGHT was going to happen... (This is what happens now! That's me breaking the block.)
Hitting Beneath The Surface
Back when I was training with Tyrone, I had laid a Paving Stone across two stacks of cinder blocks, and I spent a good long while trying to break the paver.
After a while, I started to get frustrated because the block wasn't breaking. As I lifted the block to put it away, the cinder blocks CRUMBLED.
I called Tyrone to ask him if this was normal and -- after laughing at me a little more than I liked -- he said yes.
The Internal Iron Palm method that I was using (and the one that I most commonly teach) can deliver force INSIDE a target.
More Surprises:
One day I was kind of just smacking stuff casually with my Iron.
I was sitting at a table, not really thinking much about it, and I struck the table I was at just to hear the noise.
Directly in front of me, right within sight, there was an open cabinet about 20ft away- and one of the cups JUMPED an inch or two into the air and fell out of the cabinet and on the the floor.
But It Got Me Curious
I decided to see how far I could actually send force.
Where I lived at the time, we had an tiny 3 room house on our property we were demolishing.
I was hitting the outer wall and kept aiming deeper and deeper. Before I knew it I struck the house on one side, and broke a window ON THE OTHER SIDE. The force had transferred all the way through, after wrapping around the corners.
This method shows real results...
but they come at a price.
The "Materials" Method
This is the most common one you hear about.
It's also very dangerous without precise instruction and early supervision. I don't recommend this method.
Basically, you hit materials repeatedly in order to condition the hand. They start soft, and you graduate to harder and harder materials as you go.
This is a very slow method that takes time to adjust to each material -- and I cannot stress enough just how easy it is for things to go wrong if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
This method works by creating small fractures in the hand, which then forces your body to build itself back up. It usually requires very specific "Jows" (palm liniments) between sessions to repair the damage that the training does to your hand.
Using Heated Liquids
Did I mention danger?
I've seen methods where you heat oils and herb mixtures in a wok, then slap it and smear it on your hands!
If you do it right, over time it will change your hand and (oddly enough) teach you to hit a certain way that's very powerful.
Do it wrong, though, and you might never be able to use that hand again!
External Results...
Internal Results
Some further warning...
Both of these methods can seem like simple shortcuts to developing a lot of power quickly. And if you really have it – it's easy, right?
These methods bring with them a commitment you may not be prepared for.
If you do either one for any length of time, they will change you. With upkeep, habit and ritual the benefits stay with you, and even increase over time.
But if you quit – even for a day – your hands will start to grow stiff. Take too many days off, and the stiffness becomes horrible aches and pains.
The power it gave you will quickly go away, and you'll be left with brittle, aching, stiff hands that you can hardly move, let alone use write your own name.
You can't miss a day – for the rest of your life. That requires some very serious lifestyle choices.
There's no guarantee your body will allow you to transition out of these practices without suffering long term problems.
So Is There a Better Way?
As a matter of fact, there is.
The Internal Combat Arts have ways of training Iron Palm, not just as a conditioning exercise, but as an actual skill.
If you want to learn Internal Iron Palm, I can show you EXACTLY how to do it.

What Is Internal Iron Palm in 100 Days?
This is THE BEST guide on the market to learning real Internal Iron Palm.
I put a lot of effort into making a clear, concise guide to training the methods passed down to me by my teachers.
The Internal Iron Palm includes secrets shared with me by many masters I have learned from in my decades of constant study.
You will not find this information out in the open anywhere else – because few people have it, and even fewer are willing to part with these secrets.
It is NOT a history lesson on "where Iron Palm came from."
It is NOT a guide for how to break your hands "a little bit" every day.
It is NOT some 4 hour demonstration to sell you on a live workshop.
