Shin conditioning

[martino123]

Can anyone tell me good ways of conditioning my shins? I really don't have a clue how to

[FierySquidFace]

get a wooden dowel rod, and roll it up and down your shins. while you're watching tv or a movie is a good time for this.

Or just kick a heavybag!

Kick a heavy bag. Anything else and you risk injury to your shin bones. I also found shin block partner drills (with pads) help to get you used to the feel of the impact.

Kick a heavy bag dude.

Alhough I agree that kicking the heavy bag is probably the best way to condtion them and sparring is a must so as to get the feel of shin blocking and low kicks, amethod which I used to use was to drop a towl in water, ring it so it is not dripping but damp, fold it into a ball and bang it on my shins all over for a bout 5 minutes each shin every other day. It helped a lot.

you dont see thais in thailand sitting in the corner using a wooden rod, but instead kicking a heavy bag for a long time.

whats totally missed here is that shin conditioning takes time, and to build it slowly involves all aspects from the thai pads to the various bags to working the blocks through shin pads into the actual fights. it works and has worked for a long time in thai boxing.

true you cant expect it to work over night
