how to make the shins feel nothing?

[bjjrookie]

The thing is, when you kick a bag, the bag molds around your shins. When you use a bottle, your shins molds around the bottle. Good luck.

My heavy bag is meant for lowkicking and is filled with small pellets
It weight over 50 kg and is aprox 30 cm in diameter, 1.5 meters long

Since I have been kicking his I do not feel it when I block so that went fast (couple of months)

William, do you put in anything else besides the rubber in the bag?

Toudiyama, first off - your the man, kicking steal pellet. Tell me more about this. What gauge shot do you use, is it filled with anything else at the bottom and what other fillers do you have in your bag?

Hey don't put words in my mouth, nowhere in the english language does it say that pellets are steel, I think they are either plastic or small rubberpellets

donno, but this bag is the heaviest I've ever seen or had as well as the hardest

that was a bad year for me

On the up side, it's how I found this forum, where I've been posturing as a "Master" for months now while I heal (verrry entertaining). Although, those pictures have totally kept me scared from ever kicking anything with any force again... Nowadays I just spit.

Stop doing that bri!!!!!!!!!
You know i was unlucky dude, that was a bad year for me & it was going to be my last but one fight , but as you know that never happened.

Hey man, can you explain to me how the force of that kick broke your leg? Was it low calcium levels? what happened? I really am curious and your experience may provide me with enough information to keep it from happening to me.

Thanx man.

Hey sorry, I am not a expert on pellets, I didn't know they come in plastic or rubber. The only pellets I have ever been around were the ones used be a Iron palm instructor, he had bags full of steel shot or pellet of some kind that we used to hit. Where did you find them, I just want to know so I can see if I may want to use them.

Just a liner of carpet and the shredded tires. Its real heavy though, so try it out on an old bag, or buy some crappy ass 2nd hand one. I have a bag about 1.8 m high, weighs 145lbs, the tire bag however is much shorter yet weighs alot more (I dunno the numbers), but the difference is substantial.

EDIT: The taller bag just has the normal wetsuit foam filling.

Heh, surely your not talking about a coke bottle!?! . I talked to my trainer, I wont say what he exactly said, but he doesn't agree to say the least. It is interesting what you bring up though. Obviously the bottle would have to be metal to cause any structural change to the shin (whereby making it "sharp"). But in saying this, I don't think this kind of conditioning would work with kicking, since kicking is explosive impact, and this kind of conditioning would lack explosive impact (since explosive impact cause rounded bones not "sharp" ones). Also a sharp shin would seem more like a brittle shin to me.
