      I mean hypothetically you could use Botox... But idk if it's a good idea because of the spread by impact although it could work not really sure exactly. Plus pain is good because chances are even if it works you'll try to go too hard and get seriously injured if you don't have any boundaries.

      BISMILLAH
      Must Read you will know best thing here ,
      if you ignore this message then you will think about it , what was written in that whole message .
      Before Your Death know your creator and follow the order of your creator
      Allah - Arabic Word ] Creator Name
      Iswar - Hindi Word. ] in Diff Lang
      God - English Word ]
      = > You cant make creator but he created you
      NOW
      = > No One created ALLAH/GOD , actually creator is
      beyond from our imagination ,
      beyond from our limits ,
      beyond from our thinking , ability etc etc
      GENERALLY people do
      God Vs Science
      = > science is to know about things which is made by GOD and Human's science have limits to know things , even humans can't know fully about created things and matter properties , then how can they know about the creator ALLAH looks like ?
      we have limits on everything ,
      we can only see Signs of GOD in this world
      Signs Of Allah/god
      1 ) As we know " Energy Can't Be Created Nor Be Destroyed But May Be Transfer From One Body To Another "
      who made this energy from where it comes from . This is the ALLAH/CREATOR/GOD who made energy and everything , he made also that thing which can not be see by our eyes , listen by our ear , or we cant even think and imagine about them .
      there are so many things which are hidden bcz god know everything and we can't even imagine that things .
      2 ) Allah made you from dirty drop of water from your (dad,mom) and this water Turns into bones regular pumping heart eye ear toungue & it takes shape , a perfect shape size it cant differ .
      3 ) Allah gives you a identity from that drop of dirty water , example your face is different from whole world people, and give you eyes which sees and give you different fingerprint every finger have different fingerprint from your every finger and every finger have different fingerprint from whole world people fingerprints .
      4 ) suppose if GOD not give you nose then when you eat food then you cant take breath , think how the perfection of our body is made by our creator ALLAH .
      5 ) Think about creator , how he made you , is it a joke no no , I don't want anything from you and you will not give me anything , try to understand .
      6 ) see egg of hen it is dead but allah create and make in it leg ,eye , ear , heart etc and convert it in to a living creature , and that creature know how to eat , speak , drink , walk this is sign of that allah the CREATOR of everything .
      7 ) ALLAH/GOD Made ant , how small it is and it have mind to think , small eyes to see who fit eye lens in it , and have more and more sense than humans , can identity easily where is the sweet and meat . ALLAH made more smaller things than ant , spider etc etc these are signs of Allah .
      8 ) think about hair cells , your hand hairs have limit of increasing , you eye hairs have limit of increasing , your head hairs have different limits so this shows that they are made up of same cells but controlling not by you and not by that cells but your creator Allah .
      9 ) we say speed light is fastest , ( after researching to a limit by scientists ) before research they were thinking about any other , may be Tomorrow any other thing .
      now we should think the creator ALLAH who made light and properties of every matter , how much ALLAH the creator is faster and powerful .
      plz read , your whole life depend on what you choose bcz ALLAH the creator will ask you about this life after this life . plz check my playlist i added some imp links
      10 ) Think Earth is rotating on its axis and at same time it moving around the sun ,
      equator rotating speed is 1700 km/hr moving speed toward sun 107000 km/hr circulate in 365 days .
      think carefully please
      main point is that this process continue from lakhs of years .
      who is holding it , who is rotating it with exact speed and exact time and strength toward sun and amazing fact is that there is also a thing which is also a rotating with sun and earth that is moon .
      This is the CREATOR's order . Allah is the creator of everything .
      some can say that it is centrifugal force , centrifugal force is property of matter , WHO made this property ?
      this is the order of creator who hold everything in a perfection , you can name that perfection as centrifugal force but forgot to the creator .
      in Quran Allah says that " we made moon for counting days you see that moon get reduces size like old thin stick of date "
      is it a coincidence no bro no, try to understand .
      don't think this is a message only . take it serious .
      = > Do you think that you are controlling YOUR SELF ?
      1 ) Your heart is running can you stop it now ? NO
      can you live without oxygen ? NO
      can you live without food and water ? NO
      ( bcz you are not controlling your self because it is controls by your creator ALLAH )
      2 ) You need to sleep to recover your self ,
      if you can control your self then stop this process you cant do it .
      THINK ABOUT when people start imagination about CREATOR ALLAH they start to make their own GOD
      example ..
      = > they make pictures , sculpture etc and pray to that pictures
      can you make god ? no
      " you cant see God in this world , you can see God after this world if you obey God/ALLAH "
      is God a human being ? no
      About Some created God By Humans , some fake god require to eat food , some human worship stone and some worship real god but not follow his order .
      If God eat food then have call of nature means need toilet to poop and pee . IT IS NOT THE QUALITY OF GOD so remove these fake gods now .
      = > WHO ARE MESSENGERS
      Allah send messages to their messenger ( Jesus , Mohammad , Adam , Moses , ABRAHAM etc ) so that , they can tell that message to the people , bcz ALLAH/CREATOR wants to check people , who follow his order and who don't .
      we can't say these messengers are son of GOD .
      for example
      In Christianity , They Pray To Jesus as son of God .
      = > we cant pray to Messengers like Jesus , Mohammad , Adam , Moses , ABRAHAM etc
      but we should pray to the creator ALLAH / GOD in way as the Messenger told us . now last messenger is Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam .
      = > Even we cant worship muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam . we can worship only one creator ALLAH .
      if we worship muhammad then we will be in Hell .
      = > Keep in mind that Muhammad cannot make a single fly . before prophet muhammad ; adam , jesus , noah , moses had came but we cant pray to any prophet .
      = > we should follow last messenger Muhammad and should obey him .
      ( now last book is quran in which ALLAH'S words are written) to guide people .
      Jesus is neither a god nor a son of god , he was a messenger of god .
      1 ) ACCORDING TO CHRISTIANITY
      = > when people tryied to torture JESUS
      and want to beat him and kill him even they were thinking to hang on neils etc etc etc
      and after that they started to worship him as a god and also as a son of god .
      is it a quality of god that any one can beat him and to nail , jail and hang him , torture him .
      2) Jesus Eat Food When He Was Hungry
      is it a quality of god ? ( Hungry God ) if he eat food then also do toilet for pee and poop
      at that time no toilet seat was there so they used to do that in hidden in grass and back of some trees and stones etc
      is it a quality of God ? No
      = > JESUS WAS A MESSENGER OF ALLAH
      before jesus birth , people follow whom ,
      before prophet jesus people follow prophet of that time like Adam , Moses , Noah , Abraham etc .
      These were the messenger of Allah at their time on earth now last messenger is Muhammad , you should follow muhammad now .
      = > if some one make cartoon of any prophet even jesus , moses , noah , adam etc then we muslim will fight to them like in france a case happened ,
      COMMANDMENT Of Creator Is .
      1 ) Allah / Iswar / God is only one god and prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam allah's Last messenger
      2 ) namaz/salah/prayer according to prophet muhammad sallallahu alehi vasallam .
      if you ignore these 5 times prayer then you will be sinful ,
      if you do your own type prayers then this will be rejected bcz you have to follow messenger not created your own
      and obey Allah then you will be in paradise inshallah
      " REMEMBER you have to go back to that creator ALLAH who is the master of all "
      = > Islam is for everyone not only for Muslim bcz
      muslim means submit to one creator
      when you were child then you only submitted to your creator you were muslim .
      it doesn't not matter who are you and from where you belong and what you followed in past ?
      DONT JUDGE MUSLIM to see islam ,
      to see islam you should read QURAN and sunnah of prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam .
      in islam worship only creator one allah in the way that he tells to his messenger to do
      = > YOU should follow ALLAH the creator and it will be true for you
      If You Follow It.
      if you do not follow then
      you reject it , you ignore it and you reject the creator .
      Allah says in Quran chapter 2 Ayatul kursi
      " Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who could possibly intercede with Him without His permission? He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them, but no one can grasp any of His knowledge-except what He wills ˹to reveal˺. His Seat encompasses the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of both does not tire Him. For He is the Most High, the Greatest.. "
      your whole life depend on what you choose bcz ALLAH the creator will ask you about this life after this life .
      search my channel playlist i added some quran chapter of prophets like noah , Abrahm, etc check it plz
      what will happen after death with you ?
      and so plz minimum one time read Quran it is a word of god , i promise you will know everything that you want , you can check my playlist full quran..,,..,.,.

      2 years later. Took up boxing, Taekwondo and Tricking classes also. Put on a lot of healthy weight.
      I train on a heavy bag, spar bar and reflex ball/double end bag (don’t remember it’s name just what I’ve heard it called) Developed skills I never had before such as defensive boxing manoeuvres and advanced Taekwondo kicks. Currently working to improve my aerobic skills and achieve my 1080 kick. My confidence has improved and also my self esteem. Working out in between training sessions is a great opportunity for working on my mental state, focusing on my goals and maintaining discipline.
      Additionally took up learning skills outside of martial arts and fitness such as learning Spanish (popular world wide language - great for career opportunities), Korean (because of Taekwondo) and Thai soon, and progressing towards my programming career.

    Awesome tips! Running actually makes a lot of sense, the Thai's do a ton of running. I have never been a professional but with a Dutch kickboxing and Kyokushin background and having endured a lot of hard sparring and gym wars. I feel like I've tried almost everything I could think of, including gravel filled burlap sacks, cement dust filled heavy bags, sand filled glass bottles and even rolling pins. Besides standard heavy bag work, an old bald truck tire, hanging from a chain, is my favorite. One of my toughest training partners was a Kyokushin guy him and I were debating how to defend a body kick set up, my shins were conditioned using the tire, his were not, he foolishly high checked my switch kick to the liver and it split his shin open, through his gi pants, I was only wearing Thai shorts! A little bit of a freak clash injury but it seemed to
    be a pretty compelling argument for tire conditioning.

    This was really a great instructional-thank you for taking the time. One of my biggest fears in Muay Thai was going shin-to-shin. Apart from the excruciating pain, I was concerned about snapping the shin. At my old gym I had to spar with a gigantic Polish guy who had freak strength and massive bones (no shin Guards). It was a pain clinic, and after a few minutes I was in too much pain to throw any more lowkicks.
    It’s reassuring to know that even pros continue to feel the pain. Thought I was just a complete wuss.

    Also some things I have discovered to aid in recovery:
    Tib Raises -> pumps blood through your shins and fresh blood = healing
    Isometric BW Squat or weighted barbell front squat-> Literally just sit in the Squat position for like 30 seconds with or without weight. It's like taking a sponge and squeezing out all the liquid, then when you stand back up after 30s your pumping fresh blood to your legs and the sponge "reabsorbs". Plus you just get a nice good stretch in all your tendons.
    Isometric work increases longevity and strength in our joints.

    Recovery tip from a working ballet dancer and muay thai hobbyist, roll out your calves and perineal muscles. Then you use one tray of ice and a large bucket soak both legs in the ice water for no more than 8 minutes, but you'll recover so fast.

    As a sport, I much prefer Boxing over Muay Thai, but I'd still give some effort to master at least one kick for my arsenal/repertoire so I can also rely on more than just punching when it'd come to fighting outside of the ring (street fights, bar fights etc.) and the beginning of this video kinda motivates me to build a powerful shin combined with the perfect low roundhouse kick.

    • @maxk880

      You should never get into a bar fight or street fight. You can only lose.
      If you 'win': Legal problems (insurance, injury cases, maybe criminal proceedings), problems with your conscience.
      But you can also lose. You might randomly meet a judoka who smashes you into hard concrete or BJJ blackbelt who breaks your limbs. You might meet someone with a knife or even a gun. Bad news.
      Don't street fight. Don't train for street fights. You can ALWAYS run away and escape, ALWAYS. If you are strong and confident, you will lose no honor in choosing to be the bigger person. Only strike when someone else strikes first

    My shins hurt just watching you hit that tree. Jesus! I wish my shins were close to be conditioned like that again. It’s been a while since I trained in martial arts but going to build myself back up for it very soon.

    Very nice mate ..
    I always conditioning my shin but I have no knowledge of how to do effectively, or at least this confirms the fact that shin will always hurt 😔
    Thanx mate

    Legitimate question.... How about if I don't do any of these things, deal with the pain when I kick my opponent?...it's gonna hurt regardless... Most times I would be kicking someone in the shin that's not used to that...I like to shin kick my opponent to block there kicks.. great video by the way
