Shin conditioning question.

[Jetflyer89]

Though this thread has turned into a joke, shin conditioning is some of the most important training a Kung Fu artist can do.

Start with a rolling pin. Take it and roll up and down each shin (do not go too high by the knee or you can seriously injure yourself). Slowly increase the pressure over a period of 3 months. This puts tiny little indents in your shin bone that slowly heal stronger and stronger. Try also taking some calcium. You will not notice a big difference, but the person who hits your shins next will.

It takes a while to do this and it can be very painful after a few days. Be careful to allow enough time to heal your shins. This is how I started and my shins have become very tough.

In Thailand, they kick bananna trees. I live in NY, so we don't have bananna trees, so I kick a bananna.-but I use plenty of dit da jow.

I wonder if that works. Someone needs to try it and post the results.
