The Hofi system is an ergonomic approach to tooling and methodology that is designed to work with the natural motions of the body. The Hofi system focuses on efficient process, using minimum energy and time for maximum moving of the material, which protects muscles, nerves, joints, and bones from damage. Hofi, who has developed new tooling and techniques for hot forge work, teaches his method in his school in Israel, in Berlin, Germany, in Japan and at the Center for Metal Arts in the United States.
I had heard about injuries while forging due to bad technique. Also ask any blacksmith, bad habits learned early are very hard to undo. I decided to start with some instruction from one of the best. This is a great way to understand how to hammer and not get hurt.
