One of the hallmarks of internal kung-fu training is the development of the iron forces and in particular, the iron palm. Through years of training, the bak fu pai practitioner learns to harness and cultivate our lifes energy known as chi or qi. We all have it as living beings, we just need to understand its limitless power and in turn, learn to wield it with honour and dignity. Once this life energy is recognized, a power base known as ging can be propagated to deliver force through a well conditioned iron palm. The breaking of boards and bricks can no doubt demonstrate the lethality of an internal kung-fu practitioners iron palm. The breaking of a coconut however is often preferred as the shape of the coconut emulates the shape of a skull and is unpredictable with respect to its rigidity, flex and hardness.
