Shaolin fist conditioning?

Has anyone heard of this fist conditioning method, basically you stick 2000 sheets of paper (or a phonebook) on a concrete wall and just hit it a lot with your fists.





It was on a documentary about the Shaolin temple with Jet Li (no not the movie).





Anyone know anything about this, side effects, good things?

Shaolin fist conditioning?
it's possible to hurt your wrists that way, even do permanent damage to them.





If you want to have powerfull fists focus on your body movement,


the correct way to throw a punch is to create a spiral motion from your heel to your waist, then to your chest%26gt;your shoulder%26gt;and finally your fist.





Practice hitting air first then with a punching bag.
Reply:If you do knuckle push ups you will get the same results. Standard conditioning in karate.
Reply:not to be rude....but dont listen to the first guy haha. It can't mess up your fists unless you don't have punch form. Even id you dont....wear wrist wraps. Punch it until you knuckles bleed or bruise or what ever. The goal is to build up the bone, flatten all knuckles and hard callises(sp)sorry haha i cant spell!...try doing this to a punching bag or wood or I use a brick wall...SOFTLY ON THE BRICK WALL! that is important
