Should You Be CONDITIONING Your Shins & Body For Kickboxing Muay Thai MMA???

[@bigzero718]

I'll never forget the first time I got inside leg kicked. Coming from a boxing back round that was a real eye opener

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Inside low kicks are definitely different and it's harder to condition that area. They have more of a slap than thud in my opinion but still hurt for sure.

Try checking leg kicks,or kicking a elbow that is way more pain,unfortunately combat fighting of any type brings pain and injuries!!!,

The kicking a tree is misleading because Thai boxers do practice on banana trees, however they're either dry or dying trees. Just from the structure of the banana tree, the more you kick it, the more it unravels, and it gets softer. The dry banana trees are probably not as hard as modern day kickboxing heavy bags

[@eurekadiaz3771]

Yea, i kicked down one, had the diameter around my thigh, felt like standard heavy bag

[@jbertucci]

Banana "trees" are just leaves.

[@muayboran6111]

No. If you don’t live in this area you won’t come across a banana tree very often. The way you hrow banana is to harvest the fruit and cutting down the tree so thay it can regrow and produce more bananas. Banana trees aren’t hard or tough, they are super soft and you can chop ot down with a couple good swings with a machete if you’re strong

[@torben_vp]

Yep banana trees are a lot softer then oak 😅

I use leg kicks heavily during the fight, but afterwards my legs and ankles are swollen for a week. When I'm limping around post fight in Thailand people assume I crashed a motorbike lol

If you punch so heavy that even in wraps and gloves your knuckles get injured sometimes, you could do knuckle push ups, but don't do it daily if your new to it, cause when our bones rocked, it can have small cracks, but when those cracks heal, the bone becomes harder than before, healing times are important

[@AlbertoVVale]

Best channel ever! No Unrealistic BS, just legit advice. Thanks mate. Greetings from Portugal.

[@muayboran6111]

So, I need to add that you shouldnmt be putting too much force against your shins. Bones can bend and when they do the compression is directed towards the front of the bone while the back of the tibia becomes stressed and elongated making it weaker and more susceptible to breaking. The goal of thay is to deaden nerves, but on doing so it feels strong while on fact you risk hairline fractures. The most effective way is conpression of the bone, so squats and falmers walks as well as sprints will allow even microfractures throughout your entire tibia which will distriubte calcium deposits to evenly replace lost calcium from the fractures. So deadening nerves and building bone density should be viewed as seperate things and it shouldn’t be interchangable. The goal of that is not only to strengthen it but also to prevent the loss of strength which starts to occur roughly around the age of 30. You can see this in many athletes, when they hit the threshold age where the calcium deposit doesnmt allow for optimal bone repair and strengthening, the back of the tibia will be unable to support the bend and it will break from the back of the bone, while the front of the tibia will remain fine, the fracture starts from the back

Re: arthritis, I've read that Masutatsu Oyama, one of the demigods of Karate, had arthritis so bad at the end of his life that he could barely write his name. I seem to recall seeing some calligraphy that he'd done, the shakiness of the character forms was really chilling. Or maybe that calligraphy was by Gichin Funakoshi, I'm not sure.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Because karate focuses a lot on fist conditioning. Shins don't get arthritis and you don't need fist conditioning for fighting in gloves.

[@antoniovasquez9946]

How about chin conditioning?

[@ericwalker6546]

I understand what you are saying. But I did all the conditioning with the rolling pins and striking with the stick on the shins. So I could break someone’s leg when I fight them. I also did Iron Palm so I could break bricks with my bare hands. I don’t wear bag gloves when I train on the heavy bag. Some people have a higher threshold for pain. But you are right you don’t have to do all that stuff to get conditioned.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

If it works for you and you don't have aches and pains that's great. I've never done that but I do feel sore in the shins after fights. However you don't feel it during fights and that's the only time I'm worried about condidtioning.

Just for the record, people: the "hardening"/conditioning is mostly due to the nervous system lessening the pain signal because it no longer perceives something as a threat. Same thing with flexibility. The muscle doesn't somehow become longer/looser per se. It's the nervous system (i.e. the brain) that gradually allows more range. One cannot become a T-800 or Luke Cage from smashing yourself with objects, lol. Mas Oyama was a mess with chronic aches and arthritis from hitting rocks and trees...

With the thighs, stomach, upper arm etc its muscle and skin taking the impact isnt it, so only gets sore due to bruising doesnt it. A day or two and the bruising is going or is gone.

So I used to do iron body training (basically body conditioning). It honestly does a lot, if you do it properly and safely you can make massive improvements over the years without injury. However, I whole heartedly agree. What really is the point. I have found no other point or benefit to it from that of showing kids that I can punch solid concrete walls at near max power and not hurt my hand. I have noticed some joint issues as well. Not in my hands but elbows and shoulders. I can’t say that it is directly a cause but I would not be surprised if that were the case. There is truly no need, even in street fighting. There is literally no point to it. The monks do it for a sense of discipline but you get that just from showing up to training class every night and putting in work. I personally wish I spent that time on my cardio. That’s my two cents added. It is nice to know such a talented champ thinks similar. However I wish I realized a lot earlier haha

I think you underestimate what an elite human you are. You are made of different stuff to 99.9999% of people.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Haha. Maybe....maybe now after years of competing but man, I still don't enjoy pain. My body is conditioned for kickboxing pain but everything else still hurts.

[@OliHandy2008]

​@@GabrielVargaOfficial I hope you can maintain your modesty and likeability when you have millions of subscribers (It will happen), you seem so genuinely nice and down to earth, it's almost unbelievable.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

@@OliHandy2008 That's so nice of you to say. Haha unbelievable...a solid upbringing in martial keeps you in check. If you get out of check your sensei slaps you back into shape.
