Iron Palm
Iron Palm/Iron Hand training has long been held within most Chinese martial arts systems as an advanced program of training. One that is rather specific: To develop the hands, and the body connected to it, to deliver stronger penetrating strikes than a normal, untrained person. Many Chinese martial arts systems(CMAS), do not even offer said training to anyone who has not completed a certain amount of training in foundational material.

Iron Vest
Iron Vest also called Iron Shirt/Jacket or the Copper Body shows up across a wide cross section of Chinese martial arts systems.  The internal version of this training is the Iron Vest set. There is no hitting of the body with sticks or bags. It is a series of exercises that are designed to stretch and strengthen the bodys fascia. It is combined with a serious amount of standing meditation that is built into the set. Your fascia will thicken and strengthen over time. The stretching and the standing added together create a stronger body able to absorb more punishment.
