someotherguy Member Registered: 04/20/05 Posts: 69	I don't know how many people will have come across this long article, but I found it very interesting. It is written by Wong Shun Leung himself, describing his close friendship with Bruce Lee. It covers Lee in his youth, his training techniques, comparisons of fighting methods etc. Well worth the read edit: by the way, does anyone know what is being referred to in talk of "steel bars" for wrist strengthening? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pborowingchun1/bruce_lee.htm Edited by someotherguy (05/12/05 08:04 AM)

The idea is to twirl them in different motions to strengthen the forearm. Larry Hartsell shows how to use them in his book on grappling and conditoning _________________________ Sticks n stones'll break my bones, but if I land the first one, you're in trouble!

Holding them up, and slowly making the motion of punch. I don't think this is 100% effective,since it will pull you down rather than horizontal resistance.
