![]() | I couldn't. For one his leg was already injured and two I feel two wrongs don't make a right. Trust me I felt like just sucker punching him. I mean its not like we was sparing, he knew exactly what was coming. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I have always told everyone I will hit them as hard as they hit me. Fair is fair. If you hit me I get to hit you. If you blast me I get to blast you. It's not about getting even when you tag someone that is hitting to hard, it about bringing it to their attention that they are doing something that is not helping training. Eventually it will get to the point where people will not train because they can't afford to get their limbs destructed at practice. When you take more damage in class than you do on the streets something is wrong.

![]() | Have you guys considered pads? We pretty much go full-speed with the destructions once we have the basic premise of how they're supposed to work. I have some old football pads for the forarms that work great for this sort of thing. Thick shin pads work wonders for little inside oblique kicks so long as you don't jam up their knee. However, boxing gloves don't seem to help much though when I elbow their punches... we're still looking into ways to better protect ourselves with that one. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | If you are working with pads that's a different story. But if you aren't the instructor you don't really have control over what is done in class. I don't mind taking the hits as long as I get to give them back. Pads or no. I've been the punching dummy to many times in the past to let someone take free shots all day without realizing there is a price. It's give and take. Apparently his instructor was not happy with situation since he stepped in and said something. The only real option is for him to discuss it with his instructor and see if he will pad them up.

![]() | No pads at this time. but on of the focuses of our class drills is to nock stars together to get use to the impacts. but for what we was doing last night we should have had pads if he was planing on breaking my shin. |

![]() | some of are training drills is geared to condition are forearms so that when we block we hurt the body part that is attacking. So by nocking stars: I mean we bang our fore arms against each other to toughin them up. Just like a kick boxer conditions his shins. |

You should nock stars rather hard, but as I said this guy has been training for 2 yrs to my 4mo , how much more do you think this guy could take then me? |

My preferred method of destroying the leg as it kicks towards me is not to "kick" or deflect their shin with mine, but to knee their shin. Not only does the knee have more support behind it when bent properly, you also have less surface area contacting when the shin hits the knee. This can break shins very easilly--lots of applied force by a tiny point equates to lots of damage. If you took that same amount of force but applied it over a larger surface area, you spread out the impact force causing less damage to any one point on the body or limb.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Actually repetitive hitting of the bone will increase bone density. I use a hit stick. it is a circular rod about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. It is cut in forths length wise. The cuts are usually about a centimeter or less so you end up with four pie shaped sections that go down to a 4 or 5 inch handle. this has enough give that you can whack your shins and forearms without breaking them. I prefer just sparring, but when you get bored it works. Also certain exercises have been shown to increase bone density. Mostly for people with osteoporosis. These are mostly weight bearing exercises.

![]() | That's what happens from microfractures--which is the same idea as all out breaking your leg against a tree multiple times a year. Just taking a rolling pin to it is like comparing apples to oranges (unless you're whackin that leg with the rolling pin a la baseball bat-style). |
