Iron Palm or Iron Hand is the training method in Chinese martial arts used to increase a fighter's striking power and to condition the body to deliver strikes with reduced chance of injury. This involves mostly striking tough, heavy padded objects such as a heavy bag and similar objects. Practitioners demonstrate their power in front of audiences by breaking various targets such as wooden boards and concrete slabs. It is also used in many Japanese, Korean, and Thai martial arts under different names.
