If someone trains to break stone, then they must be careful. I know a Chinese technique called Iron Palm that will allow you to break stone with your palm, not fist, without fear of this happening. The method is to smash the hand loosely down, like slapping, onto bags of sand and gravel. This applies impact to the bones, but not the joints, eventually turning them into bones as hard as steel. Then if you have the correct muscle and strikeing technique, your bones will be hard enough to smash anything you are strong enough to smash without them breaking. But punching stones would be bad for you, I reckon. As far as Muay Thai is concerned, they do similar training on the shins and elbows, by bashing them against banana trees. But as for putting the same impact as boxers and stuff use to fuck their arms, well, only that will happen in the arms the same as boxers if you hit too many bags with punches. The dont really apply pressure on the joints at all. Nor do the elbows. The knees might, but they arnt practiced much on actual strikeing things...
