bushido_man96 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think if you use moderation in your conditioning, you will be fine. I kick the bag with the top of my foot all the time, and never have problems.I can also break two boards with the top of my foot. It stings, and leaves a real nice mark, but I have yet to break my foot on the boards. It isn't for everyone, but it is cool if you can do it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red89 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yeah I can handle the pain from striking with my foot hard, im just wonderring though, is this toughening the foot or damaging it long term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is different. As was mentioned earlier, conditioning should be a gradual process, and not one that is wrought with set backs. Taper it off, and then begin to taper it back on again, and see how that goes for you. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronbvp Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 They don't give you points for knocking over your opponent and making him cry? Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
