When Shaolin monks repeatedly hit a certain body part to 'desensitize' it, is this safe?
Charlie Martin posted a topic in Community
Hey all, So I'm sure you've seen videos of Shaolin monks hitting their heads against a wall for hours or maybe punching a wall for hours in order to 'desensitize' the body part until it feels no pain. First question - is this safe? Isn't it just destroying the nerves in the respective body part? Also, would this methodology work for my knuckle handstand training: I like to do some breakdance combos on my knuckles and I'm doing it on semi-hard carpet here, but it hurts a little too much on concrete. In other words, would it work for me to punch a concrete wall for an hour a day... (maybe not this extreme but you get the idea haha) Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks!
