I like the shins! You can work hardening the shins on the heavy bag. Also in most styles of karate they teach you to do round kicks with the ball of the foot. Doing this you can land hard round kicks (harder than with the instep) But you run the risk of breaking your toes. The instep…um not good if you ever land a hard round kick on a hard surface like someone elbow or shin you will be limping for the next 2 weeks and thats if your foot isn’t broke .Try working on those shins you’ll be much better off in the long run.
