I used to like Gauss but he stopped returning my calls. [/B]

You’re a d@mned, dirty physicist, aincha?

Heh heh heh. Geeks getting feisty!
Turns ya on, eh?
his is KFO, you fool. How could a thread possibly stay on topic past the first couple of pages?
agreed - you have to remember the 3 page rule! :eek:

Excuse me but, as an Australian, you have no room to talk. You have no idea what physicists are doing to this country. A lot of us want to just section off one little piece of the U.S. and let the physicists have that.
Don’t get me wrong. Some of my best friends are physicists. But, they are very different from us. If they start dipping into our gene pool, well, I will fear for the human race.
Ah, physics… all the joys of hypothesis testing without all that pesky engineering. I’m more of a mathematics person myself. While physics is not witout it’s charm, I know too many creepy physicists.
However, I apply math (and invariably, physics) in my study and use of martial arts. I tried explaining that to all my friends… and they both stopped talking to me.
Regardless of what you do to condition your shins, the key is a slow graduation to prevent bruising. If you’re bruised you can’t condition anymore. I know using a wooden dummy isn’t a common technique (or is it?), but it DOES work. Maybe not as well as some methods others have tried, I honestly don’t know.

Flashback to a senior student showing me why I should make my front kick piercing. He kicked me with a flat foot, then with the ball of his foot. “Feels different, doesn’t it? I’m using the same force.”
“Yeah, but the pressure is different.”
“Huh?”
“Pressure is force over area. Everything else being equal, smaller area makes for greater pressure.”
“Just make your front kicks piercing, okay?”
I won’t even get into the whole bo staff-torque on a lever debacle.

Try explaining to someone how to optimize torque and distance in a hook punch. By the time I was explaining the force of his punch as a vector field and the importance of minimizing force vector reflection by punching a surface orthogonal to the direction of the strike, I was prompted to SHUT UP.
lol
Unleach the power in a zero cross product!
I can’t believe you dam[size=2]n[/size] dirty apes hijacked my shins thread!!!
Ok, I can.
Anyway, I decided to go with the heavy bag idea. 500 kicks a day each leg to start and we will see what happens.
work your way up to 500! your legs will be purple the first day.
start out with say 100 each leg and set goals/incriments.
ex- in one month I’m going to be able to get 250 each leg (full power!) etc..
ST, I have actually been doing about 200 a day anyway, I just didn’t know if doing it on the bag was doing my shins any good. However, I shall listen to your wisdom and work my way up
