Wow hellspawn cool tip on shin training. Had a big problem on that when I was still in Taekwondo. Getting hit there usually shin to shin with the lower belts would produce a pain just a notch lower than getting hit in the jewels.

Kudos man where did you get this idea?

my old mt trainer had all his fighters doing this. he would check our shins weekly as you can actually feel the shins getting harder over time. i haven't done this in a few years, no longer compete, but my shins are still harder then most people who train, and definitely harder then joe average on the street.

 

shin blocks are a feature of mt, part of the "wall of bone" defense, and kicking the other guy's shin to unbalance him was a favourite tactic of my old club.

 

in saying that my shins have scars, dents, bone chips, and assorted other marks that have never gone away, some have faded but are still visible.

 

kyokushin is a great system, very powerful, very strong. you might want to make sure that your injury is 100% better before you get into it.

is there an age limit for achieving full splits..??

Hey dudes do you have tips on where I can get myself "fixed". In mainland china or korea they have people who do muscle or bone manipulations. Dito kasi most of the "hilots" I encounter are quacks.

Kenjutsu is another name for Kendo.

 

Kendo is the school type, Kenjutsu is the art itself...

the optimum impact area for a muay thai kick is from just below the patella (knee-cap) to a distance of one hand span down towards the foot. if you measure it out you'll find that this is the area where the tibia (large shin bone) is prominently projected outwards from the lower leg. after this the tibia narrows down (before flaring out) to connect to the medial malleolus. i've omitted the fibula as this plays a less prominent part in the impact of the kick. avoid hitting with the instep completely, but in saying that, there are specific tagets that can only be hit using the instep, but these require correct timing and targeting more than anything else.

 

before i share what i consider the proper way to toughen up the shin bones, have a good hard think about why you want to do it. if you're only after the look and the bragging rights, then f.u.c.k. off you poncy wanker. you haven't got a clue, and you're a major embarrassment to muay thai. if you want to compete and need tough shins then good luck in the training and read on...

 

i recommend the following method because it toughens the actual bones, other methods usually involve leaving callouses on the skin, which is not only ugly, but potentially dangerous. if you've ever had a callous go wrong on your foot, imagine how much worse it would be on your shin, where there is very little cushioning between the skin and the bone.

 

you will need: one rolling pin, tiger balm (or similar), lots of time (minimum four to six months before competition.)

 

firstly use the rolling pin lightly on the shins, covering the area detailed above. hit the shins from all directions. three to five minutes should be enough for the first week, at three times a week. you should be aiming for five days a week at 15 minutes a session.

 

after the rolling, apply tiger balm to the affected area and massage thoroughly.

 

during your training nights, stick to the light bag, or kick lightly if you've only got a heavy bag.

 

when your shins get tough enough, change the rolling pin to a steel pipe, or press down harder on the rolling pin. you can also use a stick to lightly hit your shins for a couple of minutes after the rolling session.

 

when you've reached desired hardness, you can drop down to one or two sessions a week. the rest of the conditioning can come from the heavy bag, or pads.

 

this method encourages the bones to toughen from the inside out, making them harder. to put it simply, the pressure of the rolling drives the osteocytes crazy and makes them produce more bone cells in the affected area. the end result is tough bones and a normal looking shin.

 

have fun.

check out "stretching scientifically, a guide to flexibility training" by thomas kurz. it's available as book or video/dvd. he claims to increase your flexibility to the point where you can do splits no matter what your age is. one of his ads shows george dilman doing a full split at the age of 51 (?). now i think dilman is a dangerous fraud, but achieving a full split at that age is quite impressive, no matter what else i might think about him.
