Grip training using the bamboo canes - these are really good for twisting etc to train locking etc and can also be used for body conditioning as demonstrated here from one of the UK Dit Ngau Tong Long schools:
alone:
with a partner:
. Supplement jars - these are filled with iron filings and are a great tool for strengthening the grip for use in grabbing, clawing, ripping etc.
Logs - again another great grip and claw strengthening tool
Iron Palm bag - for the obvious reason and for conditioning hammer hand
Long pole - great for strengthening the wrists and forearms to help with grabbing etc.
Iron Bar - good for strengthening the arms, shoulders, back as well as conditioning the arms and help develop an iron bridge.
Stool - for sitting on after a knackering training session.
All these tools are easy and cheap to make or purchase and a great tools for traditional kung fu training.
Oh and not forgetting the good old chin na catch bag:
This can be filled with sand, gravel or shot and is a great tool to strengthen the grip, fingers, hand and forearm. Can be used solo or with a partner.
