Martial artist who punches metal to harden fists?

A while back I saw on TV a Kung Fu master who punches against hard steel to toughen up his knuckles. When he first started out, he used to just tap his knuckles very LIGHTLY, a thousand times a day. Then, gradually over the years, he started hitting just a little harder, until now his knuckles are conditioned so that he can pretty much bang them against steel and now it will not hurt. He also has to be careful when punching someone so it will not kill them.





I%26#039;ve also heard someone say that he was hired to help take on gang member and arrest them. (Not sure how true this is, I only heard about it from someone).





Note: The guy I am talking of was on a talk show once, he DID NOT come from the movie %26quot;Silk And Iron%26quot; (think that is the name of it).





If anyone knows his name or has any info. about him, please share. Thanks. :)

His name is actually Qingfu Pan, he is also known as Grandmaster Pan. He does play the role of himself in the movie %26quot;Iron and Silk%26quot;. In the documentary you are speaking of, they mention how he single handedly defeated 23 members of the infamous Triad Gang. I remember watching this documentary years ago.

Reply:I initially thought of the guy from the movie Silk and Iron too so if it%26#039;s not him you are after then I dont know. But I thought you might be interested to see the video on my blog about what happens to the hand during a break. Have a look its quite interesting and surprising.
