Using the dit da jow would clear up those bruises in a day or so. Also, It has been stressed in the program I am training in that you MUST NOT START IF YOU ARE TOO YOUNG.

I am not planning on a career in fighting. I just want every advantage I can get. Maybe when I am old and no longer have to worry about conflict... Exactly how old is that, anyway? Recently, a couple in their 80's were stabbed and murdered here in Florida by teenagers with knives.
But that is it. They were in their 80's. Even if they had iron palm, they should have had a gun or other security. Criminals prey upon the old. The old should do everything to protect theselves. And, I know a master that got stabbed in the back-so what does any specific siutation tell you?- Nothing- because each situation will unfold in accordance to fate. No matter what "training" you had. Your training should make you wiser-not withstanding palm hits.
