Nick_14 Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Hey,does anyone know how to **PROPERLY** condition your thighs. With or Without a partner
ZR440 Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Squats, extensions, and curls. Don't lock out your knees either. You get some bad info or somethin? It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Nick_14 Posted December 8, 2003 Author Posted December 8, 2003 Thanks zr440 but what i meant by conditioning is so it wont hurt as much if you are kicked in the thighs.
Donkey Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I'm going through the same thing so I asked my Muy Thai master (at the time he was kicking an Iron post with his shins, no lie). He said it always hurts (this after 30yrs boy to man). He also said that u learn to ignore the pain and also that u don't usually feel the pain during a fight ( u shure as heck feel it after the fight). But most importantly don't train to get hit, train to attack and win. Don't try to condition parts of your body to take punishment, condition your body to fight (heavy bag, thai pads and lot s and lots of sparring and I do mean full contact and light). Teix
ZR440 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I couldn't agree with him more. Anyone who thinks they have to deaden their nerves or build up those nasty calcium deposits by hitting hard objects is going to have big problems in the long term. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Scorcho Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Working with a partner can harden your muscles, though. It also teaches you how to "recieve" blows to the thighs with the least pain. "The true master avoids the fight."Shodan - Uechi-Ryu KarateBrown Belt - Zen Budo Ryu JJ, Yoshinkan Aikido
Builder Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 yeah, it's definetely better if you just focus on speed, strength, and power instead of focusing on things like SHIN CONDITIONING. I get SOO pissed off by * like that. I hate it, I mean, you would think these people had some sense. The bottom line is that no one is invincible because everyone is human. All human feel pain. ZR is right, that shin conditioning crap is going to screw up for life. “To lift a small thing requires no great strength, and to hear the booming roar of thunder requires no great hearing.”-Sun Tzu in The Art Of War (D.E. Tarver Translation)
ang_soo_do_guy Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 how do u develop speed "learning a martial art is like tuning a string instrument. tune the strings too hard and they will snap tune them too little and it will not play but tune it right and you will have music for a lifetime"-anonomous
