Conditioning Your Shins for Muay Thai

A lot of Muay Thai fighters look to condition their shins by kicking hard wood or something similar. This is not a good way to go about doing this and may result in injury. If you want to properly condition your shins, then you’ll need to kick something a bit softer than a hard wood. Certain soft woods can be kicked with moderate intensity, but you still run the risk of damaging your shin.

Kicking hard objects damages your shin because, frankly, they are usually harder (or at least less brittle) than the bone in your shin. This will lead to the bone getting a bunch of small fractures that can culminate in a serious injury or break. This is something you want to avoid when conditioning your shins because it can lead to long term damage that may be irreparable.

The correct way to condition your shins is to hit soft wood at a moderate intensity or to hit bags. A firm heavy bag is a great way to condition your kicks and you’ll be able to go at it all day. After a while, though, you will feel your shins begin to bruise and you’ll probably want to stop then. I’m not saying you should stop because it hurts, but just because it’ll slow down your training and make it more difficult to condition your shins properly in the long run.

So why do your shins get conditioned? Well, the main reason is that calcium deposits form in the bone and essentially build it up. This will increase the strength of the bone and allow it to take more damage before becoming damaged. The other reason that your shins get conditioned is because the nerves become less sensitive – this means you can actually get hurt more and not realize it. This isn’t particularly safe, but it’s useful in a fight because it allows you to continue fighting for longer periods of time.

Thai Pad

Muay Thai is about power rather than precision. It is a tough sport that is known for its shin strikes and similar moves. It is definitely not for the weak.

The word "Muay Thai" means "impact" if that tells you anything. The main goal is to generate energy in strikes, which in turn produces a knockout. In order to achieve that kind of power, you have to train for it and in order to do so, you will need to use impact training equipment that is made to develop such a high level of power.

The Thai pad (pao) is great for power. It is one of the best training equipment items you can use for that purpose. It is a great piece of gear that will optimize your impact training without a doubt.

Trainers

Kru Samersing is an expert at teaching technique and explaining the principles of fighting. He can adapt to your style by adjusting the pad-holding accordingly. He is excellent at blending all the weapons together and making them flow. He can speak English.

Saiful M-150 has a laid back style, focusing on technique. If you want to focus on relaxation, composure, or if you are a beginner, Saiful is the way to go.

Go to Big Bear for the clinch. Big Bear used to train at the #1 ranked clinching gym. His pad sessions are vigorous, strict, and revolve around the pure basics. He doesn’t just go with anybody. He is quite choosy of who he works with.

Kru Sawai focuses on tricks, deception, and relaxation. He has a very good outside style of fighting and teaches this very well. Graceful and manipulative are two other words that come to mind. Sawai puts a lot of love into his training and students.

Kru Amin has an “OCD” style of pad-holding! He likes to focus on a single weapon at a time. Expect to throw 15 elbows consecutively. His sessions can be intense if you take the initiative to push him and yourself. Kru Amin likes to mess around and have fun with his students.
