Finger/Hand/Arm Exercises.   This is an exercise with an Iron Palm Bag.  When I learned we usually called it a Tiger Bag.  I guess because we used it tiger like, building finger strength, gripping, tearing, gouging, etc, along with the typical exercises.  This bag weighs 8 pounds. This can be practiced by any style, because we all use finger strength.  We are not doing it in these photos but you can sit into a horse as you practice. The bag is tossed, when you catch it, dig/gouge your fingers into the bag, and twist as you jerk the bag.   Keep the hands up, do not let the hands drop to the waist.  Keep them up in a “guard hand” position.  See in the one picture how I have my hands up in the “guard hand” position.  This works the strength of the arms and hands and teaches you not to drop your arms (“dead arm”).  The arms are up, ready and in play.  There are many ways to toss and catch it that can benefit the hands, but this description is a good start.  Striking of the bag is great, but also develop ripping, along with fingertip push ups, and King's Dit Da Jow.  This can be great for any style.   My instructor and I would stand 15 or more feet apart tossing this bag back and forth.  The distance increased the velocity and difficulty.    Just a little peak into what some of what we do in class, and sharing some tools to try out :-).     Pictured: Steve, Dirk, Michael, Jim, and Art.  Guys, keep your arms up, some of those hands are dangling - dead arms  :-) #ditdajow #ironpalm (at Lakewood, California)

King's Dit Da Jow, 1982. One of the first bottles and labels. That was 35 years ago (yeah, I'm THAT old ;-)). Cool, and thanks to Sifu Jean, she found this tonight and e-mailed it to me! That is one of the first bottles and labels You can see the label wasn't fancy. I was making it for myself and other people saw and started wanting some. So, I had to get bottles and make labels quick. It wasn't fancy, but it worked. Thanks again Sifu Jean! You win! I don't have a prize but you win! #ditdajow #ironpalm (at Lakewood, California)

Here is something I came across the other day. Some of the old bottles and labels we used for our Dit Da Jow. These were “flask” style bottles. I liked them. Now we used the “Boston Rounds”. But, same great jow is inside any of these bottles. The one on the left is the oldest one, it has my old address on it. So it is about 25 years old. I have some older bottles, I'll have to see if I come across any. The one on the right is a little newer, it is probably around 19 years old. If I can find some of my older ones they'd be pushing 30, 32 years old. We are having a Christmas sale on King's Dit Da Jow, it makes a great stocking stuffer. And other items. But the sale is going to end on December 18th. So there is only 7 days left. So, if you want to try it out, now is a great opportunity. And if you are using it and need to stock up, again, now is a good opportunity to restock your supplies. Don't miss out, put your order in. You can message me for details on prices and other things and deals that we are having for Christmas! #ditdajow #ironpalm (at Lakewood, California)

Oh, for foot and hand conditioning King's Dit Da Jow is great. It is great for martial arts, for athletes, or anytime you have a bruise, sprain, sore muscle, back, joints, etc. We've had a lot of people use it with great feedback. We are having a Christmas sale on it until December 18th, so it is,a great time to try it out and/or st9ck up. Contact me for more info.  #ditdajow #ironpalm ​ (at Lakewood, California)
