Do you use tires to hit on with barehands? Never heard of it But it seems to be a rather godd way to conditons your hands, and getting punsching power

Anyway, It was power hitting with the stick as meantion above I like to get some information about
Hand toughening by striking tires, makiwaras, etc. have long-term deleterious effects. Depending on how long and how intense one practices in this type of training, expect to have problems by the time you hit 50!

Regarding tire training for arnis/kali/eskrima, check out one of the videos of Bobby Taboada's Balintawak. It has a section/demo on the subject.

Cheers,
