Condition Your Shins for Kicking | Muay Thai For Beginners

[@xbermann]

A few things to mention too: More "intense" shin conditioning does in fact make the bone harder and denser (those videos you might find of people kicking hard surfaces or even the stick method), but that's not a good thing! What prevents your bone from breaking is actually the flexibility of the bone, and yes, bones do bend and flex. So while the other methods might be faster short-term, it's actually making your bone less flexible and therefore makes it break easily. The only methods that are actually viable (that doesn't reduce or impact the flexibility of the shins) are the ones you mentioned in the video: kicking the bag, running and other not so intense conditioning methods. Good video brother

[@thomasflores7817]

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

[@carlost9454]

Strong and dense bones ARE more flexible. The intelligence of nature it will do both because is better.

[@Oilspill209]

This is counter intuitive. If someone were to only train with a bag then, their shins would just snap. Your bones will always get used to a stimulus, so even if you only hit the bag, your shins will get stronger

[@octaviooyhanarte9574]

@@Chillpillspill i agree, once you get cordination and speed jumping rope is better especially if you do soviet style pendulum step footwork. i think the reason half of the people run is because their coaches said so cause the learning curve is so much shallower

[@ShookKe3]

Very good! Also weight training creates the pressure which causes your bones to get denser. Like squats and calve raises. But it really needs to be a high load for a good stimulus to the bone. And remember that bone hypertrophy is much slower than muscle or tendon hypertrophy, so be patient. Bone takes up to a year to grow significantly

[@bro8118]

Absolutely factual. Training Muay Thai for years, we ran everyday before every training sesh and sometimes after... Don't miss that whatsoever

[@swagdragon9748]

Learning that running causes your shins to get denser makes so much sense besides the fact as a child I consumed a lot of calcium efficient food, I've been running since i wasss 5 and I've been playing football since about 12 (I'm 21) and I've seen instances where individually make contact with me, not just my shin but like even my knee and they'd be in severe pain and my pain was mild which is intriguing to know that it's because running and activities like that actually stress out the bone and makes it get stronger to compensate Thank you for this general knowledge This is also amazing to me because I've always wanted to train mixed martial arts but never got the chance

[@anonimles9634]

rolling the stick on your skin deadens your nerves which is stupid cause at that point you would break your shin without even knowing its about to break cause it doesnt hurt as much as it should

[@caimanaraujo479]

The nerves in your bones are on the interior, so it won't even spot the pain from a broken bone, it will just hurt for nothing, and weaken your fascia, so make it easier to get the chin inflamed over any leg stress.

[@MrTehNoms]

​​@@caimanaraujo479Did you forget the blanket of nerves that surrounds all your bones? ...'Cause it sure seems like i did😑😶‍🌫️

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

When I was a kid I used to whack and roll my shins thinking it would make them stronger. Many years later, all it did was make my shins really sore to the touch.

[@Realkingspazz360]

Rolling Only kills the nerve down there but it doesn't thicken up your bone the best thing to us what u said earlier kicking the bag, running but a new philosophy i found is to actually training the achilies tendon with high or mid intensity plyometrics such as Single leg Box jumps, pogo jumps, split squat jump, box jumps, long jumps, jumping and falling from heights etc. It will make the bone dense and hard plus boost your explosiveness and longevity

[@FyerBear]

Was going to suggest plyometrics as well. Greater reactivity and fast twitch in your legs is also a huge plus for fighting

[@aidan2453]

How effective would skateboarding be at achieving these results in comparison do you reckon?

[@ak-jxrdy-7]

​@@aidan2453From my unprofessional opinion, it *_should_* build strength in your lower body (especially quads and calves), but it will absolutely destroy your ankles over time.

[@noleprossed]

This is an interesting video. This seems to jive with what I've heard about other aspects of life and bone strength. Doctors frequently recommend that older folks engage in weight-bearing exercises because the added compressive force of those exercises on the skeleton stimulates the osteoblasts in the bones to produce stronger bones. This helps stave off things like osteoporosis and can protect against fractures which are particularly dangerous in older folks.

I'm a fan both using all those training methods. Running definitely goes a long way towards building the bone density but it by itself won't help with not feeling the pain which is why I'm also a fan of tapping, rolling and heavy bag striking.

I thought so as well, well at least it’s bad for your knee joints. But what i take away from this i guess is a combination of everything rolled into one. Unless you fight professionally it’s not worth doing all the stuff with the stick, just heavy bag combine with running with running shoes or jump rope without. Either way you will be still improve density and strength.

[@FyerBear]

Running is totally fine. Genuinely just take it easy for a while. The reason people get hurt running is because they do too much too soon rather than slowly increasing the mileage. Start with 1 or 2 miles per run 3x a week depending on your fitness and only ever increase it by about 10% total mileage per week. If running on concrete ruined your legs, marathonners would be screwed up instantly lol but they've built a strong base over time that their tissues can tolerate. They're hardly superhuman and you can do it too, just don't instantly hop on a 5 mile run with no pacing or preparation and you can get where you need to be :)

[@ImKazama11]

so even if i land mid-foot while running this works? just curious with the science because, it seems to me that you'd get better results through heel striking since the full shock would travel through your shin better. not great for your knees but just interested in the better option.

[@FyerBear]

Don't think about it so much in these min-maxing terms, you will build density over time guaranteed, it's better to think about what kind of training is going to supplement your main sport and not take away from it. If you're hurting your knees and can't train then it's not very helpful.
