jeffin Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 KICK LOTS DO Kick bags DO Kick people DO Kick pads thai or whatever DO Train lots DO rub lumps out of your shins with your palms or some round bit of wood DO NOT kick metal poles DO NOT kick a completely sand filled bag or heavy bag till your ready for it (never completely sand filled) DO NOT kick trees, thai's kick soft bendy trees. Pick a fight with an oak tree and it will probably win. theres nothing to complex about the thai's I think thats why they are so good. pete, The superior man is modest in his speech, but excels in his actions.Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)Crosstraining in bjj/silat/muaythai/jkd/JJJ/kickboxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironberg Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Do rolling pins (wood or metal or marble) make good shin conditioning devices?

kenpo4life Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Rolling pins do work, if you build up to them. I say kick the bag, and take care of your shins in between workouts. If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdlegend Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 well i just started kickboxing (aside from tkd), and our instructor makes us kick this big truck tyre... hurts like hell first few times, but after a while u get used to it. the trick is not to kick so hard until your shins can take it. -= To truly be immortal, you must be ready to face death. =- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Ryno Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 One of my trainers had a load bearing pole in his dojo wrapped once with an old wrestling mat and then duct taped. Being slapped repeatedly in the shins with a shoto(?) helped to deaden the nerves and build up a tolerance to pain. "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
