I was flipping through an older issue of Inside Kung Fu, and saw an interesting article on Pai Lum Tao. One thing I noticed was that all of the practitioners pictured in the article were wearing what looked like leather wrist braces and a belt, studded with spikes, which appeared to be metal. I was just curious - does anyone out there study Pai Lum Tao, and if so, can they tell me why these are worn? Are they only worn by advanced practitioners, and so also serve as a sort of badge of rank, or does everybody who trains in the system wear them?
