after some thought maybe the rigid is for reaching muscles and deeper tissues whereas less rigid would be more like a whip not as deep reaching whch could be useful for more sensitive areas or use wood or plastic for them.

I found this nice thread talking about it. http://forum.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62421 hitting the body is called Pai Da Gung. https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Pai+Da+Gung here are some quotes from the thread: "Internal Iron Body uses lots of twisting exercises that help to strengthen and thicken the fascia of the body. Advanced exercises are used to condition the tissues and the bones. There is both Pai Da Gung which is basically beating the body to thicken tissues, and desensitize the body. Then there is internal Iron Body which does not use hitting the body but focuses on training the fascia through twisting and moving the body through certain routes of motion. Both will get you to the same destination but will be different in appearance. " "There is also "Shi Swei Jing" which combines certain "intention based" preparation methods, warm up massages and direct utilizization of weighted increments to train deep layer connective tissue for cohesive strength. A beating sequence, specific to meridian structures in the body follows, usually done with an iron flail but on occasion in early stages with a bamboo flail when the practioner is not yet strong enough. And yes, it works.

the cheapest and most convenient I found so far was landscaping place markers (flags), they come in bundles for less than 10 dollars and I tried it and it was less rigid. the wire thickness is almost the same. http://www.blasterstool.com/limeglostakeflag.aspx

stand in light (or heavy) horse stance. forearms raised to make an angle (see image of horse stance). flap elbows making them repeatedly hit the sides of the torso like an exaggerated wing movement from the chicken dance. vigorous bellows-like breath from the nose only. breath out with inward elbow movement. breath in with outward elbow movement. breathing should feel like it fits in with the movement not forced. do several flaps as much as you are comfortable with. then imagine yourself inside a balloon and shove with both hands forwards expanding your balloon and breathing out with the shove. bring hands back and shove some more a bit to the right then left as in NNE then NNW as many times as you are comfortable. repeat all as much as you like. for me I do it a bit and don't breathe too vigorously but I can. If I overdo I get tired. Even hitting the sides can be light or heavy by preference. This method forces the breathing for those with breathing difficulties. it also generates heat. good for a starter. courtesy of european shamans via http://www.stroompunt.be/

The Angry Rooster breathing method
Desert Eagle replied to Desert Eagle's topic in General Discussion
it's an intense exercise and very short, less than 15 seconds and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do more than that depending on your constitution. but the music can provide a good cover for group practice -

I wish I knew it's chinese name or a different western name for it but for now it might be confused with the medieval weapon.

I recently got it (healthbroom) and tried it out but for me I felt there was an insufficiency. It's thin wires are a bit too thick, too few and spaced in a circle formation rather than a cluster so the striking felt too rigid. I think I will try thelerner's recommendation to get a lot of 20+ gauge wires and try them. The other option is more expensive but doesn't look any better: both items strike me as being low quality mass produced paraphernalia. space

Watching this now (almost finished), an intense summary of history and prehistory from a spiritual stand point. I'd like to know what Apech thinks of the egyptian information presented here. I am interested in the Ankh, merkaba, the emerald tablets and the neter (42 gods) systems.
