“Any serious student of Chinese Martial Arts should engage in the practice of Iron Palm, a frequently neglected, widely misunderstood, and often mysticized practice. Sifu Phillip Starr’s incredible lifetime commitment to Chinese martial arts combined with his rare knowledge and teaching ability has perfectly positioned him to write this book. I wholeheartedly recommend it!”
—Chris Lomas, Chinese martial arts teacher and 2019 Champion of Catch Wrestling World Championship Super Heavyweight
“Shifu Phillip Starr’s no-nonsense approach of conversational language coupled with his experience of Iron Palm gives us a text that is informed, motivating, and accessible. Authentic Iron Palm is an excellent primer for the beginning student and a quality reference for the advanced practitioner.”
—Damon Honeycutt, MFA, Chinese martial arts instructor and transdisciplinary performer
