KickChick Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 Heavy bag drills for both the feet and hands are effective. Use wraps and gloves to develop proper wrist strength and alignment. and then you can go on to bare hands to toughen the hands... this should be gradual as serious wrist sprains can result by going too quickly before proper strength and alignment are achieved. "Hitting the floor" or floor striking develops proper alignment as well as showing you just how painful a strike to a hard surface, such as bone, can be. In a kneeling position, gently strike the floor with a hand strike with just enough force to make it feel uncomfortable, but not hard enough to damage the hands. You can then work on the feet by curling the toes back and kicking the floor or even a wall (make sure you don't put your foot through it!) with the ball of the foot. This will toughen and condition the muscles and tendons of your foot and will help you to effectively pull back on those toes to kick with the ball of the foot. Heavy bag drills without foot gear will also toughen and condition the feet.
