Deluxe Martial Arts Forums - View Single Post - New Trainee- Question about shins

dlearnhardt · 04-04-2003, 12:13 AM

I just started muay thai training this week. This is also my first martial arts training. I have been to two classes and had a blast both times but I am concerned about some things I have read about shin damage. I do not plan to step in the ring; I am training to stay and shape and because it is a hell of a lot more fun to kick and punch than it is to run on the treadmill.

Do I need to worry about blood clots or any other long term damage from kicking the pads?
