* Kindly note that you should always consult your doctor and obey all laws. Mew Hing’s 18 Daoist Palms’ has a very rare form that helps teach one not to get hit at all. Perhaps this will prompt me to dig the footage of Wai teaching me this great two-person exercise out of moth balls and into a new production. Another great two-person form Wai taught me personally was the Splashing Water 18 Daoist Palms’ Staff Two-Person Form. This later staff form also works the principle of not getting hit. Springy Palm’s ‘Startling Force’ coupled with good old fashioned meditations for chi cultivation and mental clarity would have gone far in not getting injured at all. – James Patrick Lacy / March 8, 2005.

My hands feel great! I've noticed a big change and its only been 3-weeks since I've started the training, my arms and hands feel stronger and my grip also. Not only did I notice a change, but my family, friends and people I work with also notice a change. I get sayings like, "Have you been working out" or "Man you have a tight grip", and it has only been 3-weeks! I can't wait to finish the training, I'm so excited to see and feel the amazing benefits and results... Thank you so much!

Dear Jung Shee Lacy,

As a practitioner of martial arts for 30 years, and a recipient of your martial teachings and wisdom, I would like to thank you for two things.

The first is my life, as I would probably have lost it if I had not been working so hard on your Iron Palm lessons.

In the spring of 2001, while unarmed and working the overnight shift in a convenience store, I was attacked by two men, who apparently didn't even have the manners to ask for the money. In retrospect, I have concluded that their plan all along was to beat me, and take what they wanted.

They came over my counters one to a side, and my "Beating" began. They attacked with ferocity that startled the security manager for the company, who was also surprised when they backed off after being hit only a few times. I walked from behind the counter area, between my would-be assailants, with no further aggression from either. Both then left with no money, unsurprisingly; apparently to tend to their injuries.)

When the next shift came in to clean up, they told me that they had to clean blood from under the registers. Since I did not have an injury that bled, I’m comforted in the thought that at least I was able to seek medical attention immediately, while they had to bear some grievous injuries painfully.

I did not walk away unscathed- I had an orbital blowout, where the floor of the eye socket had been blown out when my eye pressed against the back wall of the socket and expanded against the bottom, bursting it.(A testament to the brutality of the attack.) The injury required surgery to repair. I remain convinced to this day that they would have continued to beat me if I hadn't been as startlingly capable as I turned out to be.

The second thing I'd like to thank you for is giving me an opportunity to test my limits, and transcend what I thought was possible. As a former student of koppo and current student of shaolin long fist, and a former youth boxer, my training in iron fist and iron palm started long ago. I was capable of breaking bricks at nine. When I saw your ad in Kung Fu Qigong, I thought, “I can break a coconut.” So I went out and got one. When my arm felt better, I bought your learning material. Now, I am often awed by what I'm capable of doing with my hands. (I am also much more humble.)

Late in 2002, I was diagnosed with 2 herniated disks and associated sciatica, and told to lay off the kung-fu. I've been mostly doing just maintenance training once a week. Recently, I pulled these skills out of mothballs, and broke a coconut on a request from a friend who had never seen it. It was a cushion break, my first in 2 years, but I pulled it off handily. This reminds me what I'm capable of with training , and it has given me the resolve to renew my training; though this time I think I'm going to use supplemental training for turtle back arts, and see if the physiological changes will help resolve my back problems.

So much for the doctor's orders.

Again, thanks for making a difference, Leon Stratton

Jim
Greetings master Lacy.
I have been training with your first ten training tapes daily for almost a year. I use the Iron palm bags, Iron roller bar, iron bell, Ba ting gum iron body and most sitting and standing meditations every day without fail.

I need to understand if the Dim Mak tapes are a natural progression to my training. I am a serious four hour a day trainer, but I do train alone and do will not train with others. Sorry I am a loner, but no one can keep up with me and I am a very serious trainer. At any rate your material has improved my toughness 100 percent. I have maxed my chi for now and could use more powerful information, if that be the case.

I am looking for extra training to take me to the next level. I am fifty-one years old and I am stronger now than I was at twenty-one. If only the Marines would have taught us this at that time we would have been invincible.

The Ba ting Gum is the real deal. When you get time please give me some feed back.
Regards John Reeves Greeley, CO

PS: as a side note I give blood every six months. Last month the nurse could not put the needle in my forearm. She used three new needles then moved up to the artery in the upper arm. Nurse said she has never seen that before. Roller bar and Iron bell works, but to tell you truth I would not have believed it if I had not seen it.


Folks love the CD's on meditation. Here is another testimony from our home study student and instructor John Cox of MI.

"I got all the CD's you sent me. Everything looks fantastic!!! Many, many thanks!!! I am amazed at just HOW MUCH there is to learn in 18 Daoist Palms and HOW well it fits with everything I've learned. Coconut breaking is one of the best "truth" detectors - you can TALK about powerful hitting but breaking coconuts PROVES powerful hitting. I am working hard on the level 2 training and I am getting to where I can break a coconut on the palm (level 2 break) with some solid regularity. I have my bad days where my palm bounces off without breaking but that just tells me coconuts are REAL.

"I have to tell you I'm really enjoying learning the 18 Daoist Palms' White Tiger Standing Moving Meditations 1 - 3. You did a great job with them and I really, really like them. I am interested in getting the next CD's in the series. It's a top quality CD that has a "spending time with learning directly from the master" feel. Very nice, well done, and I think you convey just how important these meditations are.

I think the standing meds are great! It's like "a private lesson with the master." Very well done. They're no different than if a student showed up and you taught them the med's right there on the spot."

John C. MI

All I can say is "it works".

I managed to crack one with my left hand, the other resisted, so I will give it a try tomorrow, when I can get some new pillows. (the one I used is pretty worthless from being used as padding during the striking procedure)

I am amazed in the minor changes in my hands, subtle differences, much stronger grip from the grab bag and a little extra tissue on the back of the hand. Other than that, they look the same.

I believe that the meditations help my hands recover better during the training procedure.

I want to thank you for your encouragement and advice.

My only downside is that I didn't decide to video the break.

Now to learn how to use these hands for defense. I also think I will continue doing a striking procedure with the Shattering Palm lvl 1 and accompanying meditation.

Thanks for the help; and once again, I appreciate your time.

Subject: Coconut Break; SUCCESS

Hey Jim,

OOOHHH MAAANNN! I'm so excited!!!! I was successful at breaking my first coconut! With both hands, left and right! The first coconut took many hits until it broke, maybe about 10-15 times. The second coconut broke was with my left hand, that broke a little quicker, maybe it wasn't as hard as the first one, but whatever it was they were both extremely hard and I did it... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This is one of the best days of my life!

Sincerely, The young iron palm,
Jarrod Guerrero
P.S. I will be calling you whenever I think I'm ready to go to the next step with the towel. Thanks.
