Okinawan Forearm Conditioning - Uechi Ryu Karate

The benefits of percussive body conditioning have been sought after and revered by martial Okinawan martial artists for centuries. In this video, Chip Quimby demonstrates a wide variety of arm solo conditioning methods (kote-kitai / ude-tanren) for hardening and strengthening the forearms. Please note that although many conditioning methods are presented to the viewer, it is NOT recommended to perform more than two or three exercises for any specific body part during one conditioning session. The goal of the video is to provide the student with a variety of creative methods for supplementing his or her own conditioning training. This type of training should always be supervised by an experienced instructor. 0:16 Preparation for Conditioning 0:37 Warming up Extensor and Flexor Muscle Groups 1:05 Using Stone Bucket (jari-bako) for Continued Warm-up 1:31 Twin Locks Conditioning Method 2:15 Forging - Ulna & Radius 3:07 Compound Striking on Harder Surfaces 3:
