umm , The Discovery Channel isnt exactly , well , overly concerned with Accuracy when it comes to its Reportingh and Specials on Martial Arts . Basically they take whatever the Interview Subject says as Gospel , and report is as if its the Truth . Its oftentimes NOT .

That being Said , there ARE Methods to Conditioning the Body with Striking training , the "Iron Body" methods are out there , but they have VERY Little (read : nothing) to do with MOVING the Tendons along the Body in any unnatural manner .

yah I'm not even sure if it was possible that it woudl be advisable

Physiologically and anatomically impossible.
You can condition your body to take blows to certain areas by deadening the nerve endings but to move tendons and ligaments while punching, or kicking, is not a reality.

Its bollocks. Nerve numbing is one thing, retractible tendons is too far fetched, as like stated above, it isnt possible.
