she's not saying he's insane cuz he does that, she's saying that since he is insane, his advice to kick the bag like that may or may not be trusted.

realisticly you will eventually get tough shins threw training but if you want tough shins quick the sand bad is a pretty good way.

My Sensei is dedicated to say the least. It is good advice to train that way, but a tough way to train. I think I'm making people more confused...

Aye, some styles may not prepare practitioners for this type of conditioning.

But training is tough, and tough training builds tough karateka.

I dont do anything special to condition my shins, but, then again, I dont have shins as hard as some of the guys in my dojo.

Kicking a heavybag or sand bag is pretty common practice nowdays though.

I understood what you're saying - I think the insane part confused some, which is why we tried to clarify. the sand bag thing is definitely a good idea.

I think the problem a lot of people have is that they are looking for some magical method of making them tough quickly. The bottom line is that conditioning takes time.

Exactly.

Thats why, IMO, it takes years to gain BB in hard styles of martial arts, even if students have all the required techniques down, theres still the element of bodt-fittness, and body-conditioning.

IMO, the people looking for 'majical methods' get very shocked when they start to train in an art with body-conditioning, and realise that there is NO quick solution to toughening ones body.
