Mok Ga Kyun is famous not only for its profound kicking techniques, but various methods of strength and conditioning as well. Mok Ga Kyun uses many special devices, such as stone locks, wooden dummy, sandbags, bags for catching and throwing etc.
One of the most commonly used tools in Southern gungfu styles is simple wooden pole. It is used in Mok Ga Kyun both for kicking (as you saw in the article on Kicking Drills of Mok Ga Kyun) and forearm conditioning.
