KwicKixJ1 Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 hey guys, leg kicks... hurt. was wondering what you guys used to condition the legs. my shins are fine. i can take a lot of abuse knee down... its knee up that i'm kinda confused about. besides just getting kicked there a lot, what do u all think is the best way to make yourself tougher in the hip/thigh area. thanks a lot.
SevenStar Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 that's all there is to it. No secrets. the more you spar and train, the more conditioned your body will get.
VinnieDaChin Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 id assume your legs are in good shape, so yea, getting kicked there. have fun with that!
Goju 4 Life Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 You must hit yourself with a bamboo stick all day as hard as you can. Or what the other guys said. Which reminds me. You know those "conditioning sticks" that are sold in MA Supply catalogs. DO they work? If i had to choose between karate and everything else, I would choose karate so i could beat up whoever made me make the decision and have everything else
1kickKO Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 You could do numerous leg excercises, but liek eveyrbody else said, the best conditioning for your legs is time.
isshinryu5toforever Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I got kicked in the legs a ton, and I got hit with a shinai a ton. That's why I can take a leg kick. He who knows others is wise.

KUNTA KINTE Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Hit your leg with the end of a pool que........ oh and kicks The right to keep and bear Arms.
KwicKixJ1 Posted February 4, 2005 Author Posted February 4, 2005 END OF A POOL QUE?! i never thought of that... really? wow... my legs are in OK shape... nothing any of you guys would consider spectacular. well... about the hitting yourself... i've done that with my shins (oh, and to the guy who was asking about those conditioning sticks. my response to that "a stick is a stick") but i've done the conditioning with strikes to my shins, what i was asking about was targeting mainly the outside of my thighs. y'know, when someone deadlegs u by kneeing you in the side of the leg. was wondering if there was anything y'all did to develop that, but yeah... so you guys think repetition is the best way for that? just getting kicked in the legs as much as possible... man... hardcore.
KUNTA KINTE Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 END OF A POOL QUE?! i never thought of that... really? Yeah some MMA guy showed me it. Or you can do sit ups while some one rubs a staff on your shins or you can just rub it with the end of a pool que. The right to keep and bear Arms.
Muaythaiboxer Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 i had a really hard time takeing kicks to the thighs when i first took muay thai, more than one good kick and my leg stoped working all the advice i can give you is to get hit alot, its gonna hurt but they get tough eventually.
