While l first started training MT, my shins and knees were a cut up and gashed mess. After the daily training sessions, l would go jump in the ocean. I can’t believe the rapid healing that occurred from this. The joint pain was also helped a lot as well. This turned into a ritual and l can hardly wait to get back to Thailand to train.
Serrated! I always wondered how to describe my shins after doing Thai Boxing since the early 80’s. That’s a perfect description right there. GREAT channel and awesome content btw!
@@Garrett1240 not a scientist, but probably depends on how much and intense you did it. Up to a point there is conditioning, pass that point and you break up your body. Boxer Knuckles are a serious issue. Especially people who regularly punch bare knuckle on hard surfaces tend to serious have problems later in life. Any1 in here with decades of experience who wants to share his experience about his shin? I have always wondered too.
Hey, I just started muay thai and I was wondering if you had any tips on how to not break your shins. I've also watched the Anderson Silva fight and I was wondering how common it is. Your video had some great tips by the way on how to toughen up your shins but is it enough?
This is probably really late ,but those shin breaks mostly happen when the kicker is angling up and it catches on a defender's elbow. Then it's all that force on a tiny jagged point... And .... Snap! That is why 'proper' kicking, especially proper roundhouse kicking, do not arc up. Simply rotate horizontally. Don't be lazy, pick up the knee and arc across, not up.
The other reply was 100% accurate, but a lot of the time (and especially in Andersons case) it's bc fighters have been using PEDs for years without taking precautions to avoid among other side effects low bone density...
i once hit my shin during pe class 2 years ago (before starting with muay thai and bjj ) against the idk how it is called: like the gymnasts rack while swinging that i had a big bump in my shin like yours lul (at first i though i had broken my shin in half bc it hurt so much ....but only for a few seconds though)
I hit the heavy bag 3 times a week at the gym with the shin kick. I won't hit harder objects, though. The shin will have to get tougher against canvas only.
Depends on what you do. I’ve heard some people doing no shin on shin contact until 2 years into Muay Thai. The difference between hitting a heavy bag and shin is pretty extreme though
I don’t know who you are but I like you a lot. But a lot lot lot! Your look, and the way you look, your eyes and your voice, even if I don’t understand well English.
I think it’s everything you said plus blessed with the DNA of fairly dense bone structure. I’m not sure everyone can achieve that level of hardness regardless of conditioning. 🤷♂️
Haha I've wondered what was going on for the last few years. I've got permanent bruises and divets from the conditioning I had 🤣 Getting back into it and I'm excited to feel that pain again
why don't you hit it with big size soft drink plastic bottle filled with water and afterward a plastic bottle filled with fine grain sand; and then later with dried bamboo because it is hard but light unlike a green bamboo which is heavy. That is what I am doing with my shin so that in case i am negligent and hit my shin on a chair i will not cringe for pain.

Kicking the bag and training volume! All the miles and miles of roadwork also helps condition the bones in your lower leg
Your videos are really informative for beginners, real-life proper tips and routine. Thanks a lot - will be showing this to my fellow fighters :)
Cheers, thanks for passing on the information!

I've been doing martial arts for years now, never realized that my shins were serrated until you mentioned it. Super crazy feeling.
Thanks Sylvie for talking about the impact over years on your shins..Yes,I could actually see the divots on your shin.
You are a machine! Thanks for the upload :)
Fighting and uploading machine hehe
Your awesome... great videos. I hope all is well.
Your bones have a covering, Periosteum, and when it gets hits, especially on your shins, it tends to bunch up and get hard.
Are there possible health concerns later in life as a result of years of competitive kick-boxing's thickening of tibia periosteum? Thanks.

I am going to get a heavy bag soon and start spending regular time kicking that, hopefully in time my shins harden up as well.
Spar heaps too.
That's great. How much did you pay to train in Thailand those 2 years?
And what's the gym called?
Thanks.
This gym doesn't exist anymore, but the same location is now called Boon Lanna Muaythai Gym
@@8limbsUs oh! Thanks for responding.
How much would training cost in that gym? Maybe do you know?
@@brandoalexandernunezvillam6115 they're on Facebook. You can ask them for current training costs.
@@8limbsUs I'll do it. Thanks again.
Sylvie I'm searching for the link on treating shins. Thanks.

Same but I tripped running up stairs and my shin landed on the edge of a step
Can kicking wavemaster condition your shin?

If you spar hard, that should help heaps.

Why even post this?
Have some respect, she's working her arse off mate.
I often think how the Thai fighters at 60/70 years old walk and if they have problems from the fighting ??

Tell all that to Anderson Silva. :)
nheuk3 yea but check is still check even when your shin are iron when you kick me and i block you will get hurt logic
Kill Skill grammar
Those dings be the worst and you forget they are there until you hit them 🤣😭😭
Is surgical enhancement possible?
No you turd put in the work
Does tattooing the shins make them harder or less sensitive?
Most likely: absolutely not.
Haha I've wondered what was going on for the last few years. I've got permanent bruises and divets from the conditioning I had 🤣
Getting back into it and I'm excited to feel that pain again
*some* overtraining? Idk.
Your dead right there is no magic way! You just to keep training and fighting!
