Okinawan Iron-Body Demonstration (Ryukyu Kiko )

Okinawan Kiko (沖縄気功) techniques are exercises used in “old style“ karate. They are essentially the Ryukyu version of Qi-gong (chi-gung). Ekkin-kiko (tendon-change) and Senzui-kiko (marrow-washing) are the basis of the Okinawan variants of “Iron Shirt“ and “Golden Bell Cover“ training. This demonstration shows some of the the results of this training allowing one to painlessly absorb full power blows to vital areas without even the slightest damage.
