Wing Chun Dummy. I got my guy to drop his prices down to P16K. It took him a few months, but he finally got the design right. Anyone interested, please PM me for details...

 

Anyone find any good Wing Chun schools here in the Philippines??? I hear they practice in Binondo, but these guys only train other chinese guys....

just curious...

 

when you do a muai thai roundhouse kick aimed to the thigh... do you hit it with your instep or your shin?

 

ive been training kicks with my left in-step (the instep i dont use), and it feels like my insteps gonna break after 4-5 kicks out of the heavy bag... i end up limping afterwards although i usually wake up feeling better.

 

how do i train for this kick? thanx in advance

hit your target with your shin and part of your instep. shin is much harder than your instep. sa madaling sabi, buong lower legs mo ang primary weapon sa roundhouse.

 

start practising sa soft bag. let someone hold it for you. kick it and train also your knee. heavy bag will follow, if you feel your shin is already calloused.

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.

Where are you located?

[biromn]

I dabble in whatever style is convenient as to location and costs. Right now I am planning to go kyokushinkai in San Juan. I have been observing their training. Neither too impressed nor too disappointed. Okay lang any feedback guys about this style or particulars to this gym. Before I go back to martial arts training was hoping to get my pilay fixed first. I fell from a wodden ladder around 10 feet down and I am a heavy guy 100k plus. Any ideas on that too?
