Mr. Mike Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 we just had that happen in our school. We usually follow the rule of 'No sparring the week before tournament' but this time we didn't. A number of the students wanted to spar, so we let them. A match got a bit overzealous, and a kick was thrown that was WAY harder than it needed to be. The defender simply lifted his leg and blocked the kick. The attacker's leg snapped clean through. Now he's laid up for another couple of months, has a pin in his leg, and is in a good deal of pain. Well, I guess they'll listen next time...NO HARD CONTACT!

Dragn Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'm sure the Thais do suffer alot of serious shin injuries in competition.But theres no reason for it to happen in the gym/dojo.When I was in Thailand we always used thick paded leather shin guards when doing sparring. And I was surprised at how light the contact was in sparring. I was told to tone it down when I started sparring pretty hard with 1 of my trainers.This is because they fight in the ring so regularly, that they cant afford to risk injury in the gym.I have fairly weak shins(for a kickboxer) I cracked my shin bone in a tourney and it became a recuring problem.But since I brought back a bunch of those shin guards my shin injuries are alot less frequent now.When we spar in the dojo we dont go 100% power. We hold back just enough to keep injuries to a minimum.We focus on power on the bag and the mitts, and go for speed and technique when sparring.Thats pretty much the norm in all full contact gyms here. In the week or so before a fight we might spar without the shin pads just to get used to the feeling of bare shins, but we always take it real easy on the contact so as to avoid any injuries.In the ring, shin injuries are almost unavoidable. But that break on the video was just NASTY! I've never seen anything like that in a fight.
