I'm sure there are lot of methods to develop iron palm or iron fist. The difference in the result is one trains the open hand (palm) with the other trains the knuckles (fist).

The iron palm method Sifu Lam teaches is an internal technique. It is based on "Qi" theory vs. conditioning (which would be more external). The only iron fist training I know of is that of Sifu Pan Qing Fu. His is an external method. If you ever see his knuckles, they are extremely calloused. There may me internal methods but I have never seen one.
