@hockeymatt1994 There's something called Wolff's Law. When you beat on your shins, the bones develop micro-fractures. Your body naturally repair the fractures and makes the bones harder. Now you don't feel pain and your bones are more durable. Science, bro.
These are made for sparring, not for kicking a heavy bag (to the guy below me). the only time i wear shin pads is for sparring, and sometimes that's not even the case. You kick thai pads and heavy bags with bare shin. To the guy that says science refutes shin conditioning, you're a dumbass....truly.
i would highly recommend these shin guards for mma specific training, as far as muay thai, I have found they can be a little soft during hard sparring as opposed to traditional shin guards such as twins. Overall still an amazing product
You wear shin guards when you do full contact fighting??? Isent the point of the MuayThai roundhouse so that your shin hurts the other person... If you wear padding it wont hurt, then your kick dosent work as good as having the hard shin bone hit them.
He's talking about training. I don't know how you train but I don't train for the sole purpose of hurting/injuring my sparring partner or myself. Competition is something else.
I train for street based combat, not for competitions and games. I want to know that when I kick someone without my shin pads I wont hurt myself... I wont have my shin pads if some druggy tries to attack me on my way home... You have to be able to hurt them with your BODY, without hurting yourself. I say, why not train your body to be hard? You can be the best boxer in the world, but what does it do to always train with boxing gloves, then you will just hurt your hands if you HAVE to use it
You don't want to get hurt when fighting? I don't know how little effort you put into your kick, but if the guy/girl you kick defends it well a bone to bone coalition occurs and that hurts. You cannot train without pads thinking it will take the hurt away. That's not how human biology works. That's like saying you should bang your head against the wall every day so you can take a punch in a fight. It just doesn't work that way. I really think pro's will kick harder then you and they wear pads.
Funny you should bring that up because that is how the human body works, Shaolin are a pretty good example of how strong you can make your body. Karate fighters, original MuayThai fighters bang their shins on trees. It is science, you hit a part of your body with or on something hard everyday, your body will build calisis around it, and you will kill the nerves so it dosent hurt. People have done it for thousands of years. But of course, if MMA dosent do it, its not real right? lol
Actually, scientific research continues every day and the false idea that banging bodyparts against something hard will make them strong has been scientificly proven false almost 8 years ago. Your shins will get stronger from SHOCK ABSORPTION which has NOTHING to do with hurting yourself as much as possible. In fact, wearing shin pads and kicking against a pad is making your shin stronger without damaging it by not wearing protection. Why do you think pro athlethes train that way? To get weaker?
Oh, and you do realise it has been proven time and time again ever since the rise of MMA that their pro athletes have the hardest kicks in the business and shoalin monks actually kick weakest of all tested subjects?
But lets get to the core of why your comment was full of it... who the hell trains to kick some junkie's ass on his way home? I really don't see any reason why you would do that. Even if, there is no need to kick besides maybe a front kick which doesn't use the shin anyway.
Not everyone trains martial arts so they can be like Fedor... Some of us actually learn so we can defend ourselves in real life. I like MMA, but it is not God, and what MMA guys do isent always correct, no matter how famous they are... I would have to say that if people all over the world hit their bodies on things to make it harder, and it worked for over 5000 years from Rome to Indonisea, id say it works, I train this way as well and can tell theres a difference.
@GuamKomudo I'm sorry, but if you have enough power, you will need shin pads when kicking an heavy bag. Otherwise you will rip the skin out of your legs. Period.
We wern't talking about only sparring, it's way to complicated and far over with for you to be in this argument... You're like 6 months alittle too late man =P

I still disagree that kicking is needed for self defense. But do whatever you think you should do. I don´t want this discussion to go on for months.
