I was thinking the same thing, but then you have the arguement about it causing bruised and blackened / dead bones etc.didn’t particularly feel like hearing the trolls this 'll no doubt result in, but what’s worse, the prospect of not being conditioned, or the repercussion from doing it???
I deleted this post by mistake. Anyway, beating the shins is BAD. please do not chime in when you have no clue what you are talking about. It’s hilarious that you think WE are trolls…
When you roll the pipe down your shins it doesnt kill the nerves.
… That I know of…
It hurts like hell, strengthens the bone. Works really well. I have been doing it for about 2 years and I can bang shins without it hurting or feel the slightest touch. I also work my thai kicks on the bag, but theres sandbags in the side and they hurt like hell…
If you dont turn out the shin then you are just getting kicked on the blocking area rather then blocking the kick. Deflecting is even better. If your structure is really good, you can bounce people off your shield when you block their kick. Then you get a free hit or two from his flank.
As far as getting kicked in the toes, its better then the knee or ribs or face. Practice more.
Rolling something on the shins: kills nerves but doesn’t condition the bone.
Kicking stuff (that’s not harder than bone): kills the nerves AND conditions the bone. Bones become more dense with impact. Wolff’s law. I don’t think rolling something on it classifies as “impact.”

rolling the pipe was exactly what I was saying and we have had this argument before… and came to the conclusion that iron piping ( no matter how galvinised( is causing long term damage…
the reason it’s meant to be bad, is because it plays / taxes like a shin splint scenario, which if you don’t take recovery time from exaccerbates the condition and compunds complications , eventually leading to deadened / black bone…
and because of your blatant disregard for the context and content of my post and your pathetic need to undermine to satify your stupid as*ed ego, YAH. I’m saying you’re trolling!!
thought intellegent debate / discussion was a big ask here! :rolleyes:
stick your thread..I’ll just go ask an expert!
( slamms door and heads to nearest iron -bod shifu)
IMHO yes. My AC joint is screwed. I’ve been doing a lot of bag work lately. Is it good for my shoulder? Nope. But I don’t care. One day I’m gunna chop that fucker out.

well alot of schools have some sort of conditioning programme , particularly for any boxing type practice, for hand condtioning.
you’d think it’d be much the same, and resistence’d build the same way. If damage from that can be reduced by other means, guess you can’t really fault it, starting on something softer and working through to harder .
working to someting harder is fine (not necessary, but fine all the same), but how hard to progress to? Look at the knuckles pan qing fu had - IMO, that’s just not worth it. His hand is nothing more than a club. I heard that mas oyama couldn’t use his hand for much either.
I just did several sets of rolling my galvanised pipe up and down my shins between Friday night stomach and forearms workout. Surprising how much that light little pipe hurts after a while. I might keep it up for a month or so and see how it goes. It’s pretty easy to superset it with my other exercises since I use the pipe for my final forearm exercise anyway so it’s out on the couch next to me. The pipe only weighs about 8lbs, but I certainly felt it in my shins.
way back when, I also did the pipe but all over , like down arms and torso and jazz…very cool constitution builder if nothing else… yah.shins and feet hurt… but soooooo good!!!
7: - I think what your saying depends on commitment. not everyone wants to be superman and like myself are just happy to pull something off that works…
Talking about shin conditioning with a friend that does MT he pointed out to only condition as much as you need. When he was competeing he conditioned his shins heavily, but now he’s eased off alot. He can still take a helluva hit but not what he could in competition. In karate we kick the bag and roll sticks across the shins, yes we block alot with our shins, knees and feet. We use the same elbow to raised knee cover that MT does.
