Shin conditioning Among the many typical training systems
adopted by Muay Thai practitioners, shin conditioning has always been
one of the most spectacular, especially for the newcomers. In the past,
shins were hardened by hitting banana trees, in motherland Thailand,
since those trees have a soft surface and are perfect targets for a
thai boxer kicks. Nowadays Muay fighters use a common heavy bag, weighting
between 50 and 60 kilos, to harden properly their shins. |
