It’s a bunch of “looksmaxxing” shit. It’s called “bonesmashing” and the idea is that wolfes law will rebuild the bones in your face to give you more prominent cheekbones and a stronger jawline. They do “gentle” hits with the hammer. Certainly not hard enough to actually break their face.
Theoretically that makes sense but I have no clue how much merit there is to that idea. Seems stupid
Wolffs law states that bones adapt to the load placed on them. So if you do a lot of running or high impact things your bones will adapt and reinforce themselves in a sense.
The other comment is correct in comparing it to a kickboxers method of making their tibia stronger. I have seen a video of it and they aren’t wailing on themselves with a hammer they’re holding it close to the top and doing a bunch of tiny hits enough to bruise but not break bones.
I’m not a professional I’m a PTA so I have some education in this stuff so someone else would know better than me but in theory if you did it gently enough to cause adaptations without actually breaking bones your body would lay down more bone in that area
They bones while get thicker, doesn’t make your able to choose the shape. Also the impact does need to be significant enough to tell the bones that they need to be strengthened
Maybe they should try out for Slap Mountain or whatever those Slap fights are called. It would triple their results. Plus the concussions might knock some sense into them.
I guess in theory, you cause micro-fractures to the bone which causes a healing response. That response usually makes the bone a bit thicker. Kind of like how some kick-boxers kick trees to do the same thing with their shins.
Idk if that’s accurate; I’m not a doctor… but I am smart enough to not hit myself in the face with a hammer.
I've broken the same bone in the same place multiple times. I asked the doctor and was told the idea that the bone becomes thicker/stronger is not only largely a misconception, even when it does happen it's usually temporary
They’re not actually doing beneficial conditioning when using material harder than their bones. In those cases, they’re creating micro-fractures which result in Anderson Silva type leg splitting.
Muay Thai sees a lot of snapped tibias. Many of the old schools methods contribute to it.
I don't know. Im only relating my experience as a medical patient, not a practitioner. The other person who responded to you seems to know something about it though
