Iron Arm Qigong Demonstration at Songshan Shaolin Temple Luohan Institute

300 pounds of crushing force on the fingers! Normally this would break your fingers but through hardwork and practice it pays off eventually.

Master Shi Guo Song previously demonstrated this in a Discovery Channel program. Here, his student Tong Jiaolian is demonstrating that he too can do it! Mind you, he struggled with it initially and Master Shi Guo Song makes it look so effortless.

We took this video when we had a school trip to Shaolin Temple for the 2018 Zhengzhou International Shaolin Wushu Festival. We stopped by Master Shi Guo Song's school near the temple in Dengfeng, Henan, China and met with his students.
