Bushido58266 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 hitting bags is fun and all but if ur learning to break something u definitely need to hit something hard. cause bones are solid, bags give alittle therefore absorbing impact. so hit solid objects like baseball bats or planks of wood. this will also help u build a tolerance to the pain of hitting hard, something bags do not do. or u can do what i do, this is a traditional muay thai technique, kick a tree. if u break a bone than oh well just live with it, pain is a part of life. and in 6 to 8 weeks get ur butt back out there and do it again, dont be afraid.

Orion Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Easiest way is to kick someones knee, I was told that it takes something (please correct if im wrong) like 55lbs pressuse to break a knee and the average 18 year old can kick something like...... ok I've forgotten the exact figure but its over double that. Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.
Orion Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 or u can do what i do, this is a traditional muay thai technique, kick a tree.Wow, sorry to be stupid but how do you do that, do you just kick the tree or hit it with your shins (blood sport movie). Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.
jaymac Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 You know I was just watching a great documentary on Thai boxers and their training. They take their training very seriously. For some it is the only way they can provide a lifestyle for their family. Anyhoo, they trained in rings kicking bags and then sparring each other. Not once did I see any of them, even experienced ones kick a tree or a solid object. This would risk breaking the Tibia and fibula and possibley ending their Thai career. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.
