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.

Do rolling pins (wood or metal or marble) make good shin conditioning devices?

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.

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.

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.
