Shi Yanjia was full of curiosity when he first came here. He noticed that everyone in the Shaolin temple was meditating in their own way. Later he learned the Iron Palm fist with his master. Iron Palm, as the name suggests, requires hitting iron beads in the sandbag over and over again to improve palm strength.

Shaolin has three unique treasures, with Zen being the first. Practicing martial arts is a way to access Zen. There is a method called "Zen inquiries" in the Shaolin Temple. The master keeps questioning why you are here, why you practice and why you ask, until you are enlightened. #Chinakungfu #十三亿分之一

I studied and practiced Iron Palm for about 4 years. I only learned it not to break anything or fight and show friends any parlor tricks, I learned it for the reason that I skateboarded, been skateboarding for over 36 years now. I wanted to condition my hand and wrist so when I fell I was more resistant to injuries, which in fact helped so much. I knew I was going to get older and I want to Skateboard as long as I can so have strength. I did 2 years of Iron shin because getting whacked in the shin hurts and I became more resistant to pain when I got one. I learned one art to better myself and for another art. My teacher said that is what Martial Arts is about. He also said 95% of students wanna learn Iron Palm just to fight and break things. I never once believed that's what it was for.

Mr Yanjia, I know your pain. I was timid and practicing martial arts helped me out a lot. So keep going and never lose that determination as both a monk and a pharmacist

It was more impressive when he broke the one slate in air than the many slates stacking on the ground.
