Rich Graham shows you how to make your shins harder for MMA, Mauy Thai, combative fighting, ect. In combative fighting your body can become the weapon as a last line of defense, so condition it to become an effective one! Turn your shins into lead pipes over time. www.TridentFitness.net

  • now newbies will follow you and smack their shins and roll stuff on them for years, shame on you. Think about it, do you see professional fighters or the thais in muay thai camps doing this to their shins?? Go slowly and hit the heavy bags/pads, this way you practice your form and improve your strength, speed, and you also condition your shins over time. Whacking your shin with something is a great way to get those bumps on them, which sets back your progress 2x more than those u get from bags..

  • @timootei kicking another persons shin, hip bone, elbow, head, etc. half speed or harder is not as bad as what i just did in this video. Both fighters kicking and connecting shins is even worse. Part of this drill is shin conditioning, and part is the mental training of overcoming the fear of pain, which is amplified when self inflicted.

  • Making up for years of missed training?

  • @buck22dblaze not sure what you mean...

  • @vonhelmet As some of the other commenters have implied, it looks like you're going too hard too soon. You may be doing more harm than good (judging be the amount of pain you're experiencing). Gradually working your way up to that intensity level will produce the same results, and it's safer. I recommend starting with a rubber mallet.

  • @buck22dblaze gotcha! Well this is the thing. I have been conditioning my shins for years. It is painful but I can go this hard on them. The following day I was kicking pads and bags and was fine. This is just one phase of my training not the only way i train.

  • Tit, that's one of the stupidest ways to do it!

    Why not try kicking moving cars instead?

    Over time the shins will become harder and the nerve endings will die, resulting in less pain, but you shouldn't really be hitting them with wood.

    Not unless you you want to create knots in your shins and suffer later on in life..

    Lots of pad work, heavy bag and leg kick blocking drills.. Let it happen naturally, you can't rush the process..

    Sorry, just my opinion over the many years I have been training!!!

  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING! 0_0

    If conditioning is hurting you this much (which is pretty obvious from the expression on your face) then its clear you are doing more damage than any actual good. Conditioning bones and joints should always be done at a snails pace, starting off with strengthening the muscles around the joints and bones first through weight lifting, stretching and hitting the heavy bag or pads. Conditioning bones is very advanced stuff and should be done with care and extreme caution.

  • @vonhelmet i'll admit that the mental training and experience from practicing your conditioning methods can't be achieved from pure bag work and sparring other than shin-shin/knee contact which could make this method pretty useful

  • i cant wait just found your videos tonite that looks like a blast lol jk . . . .what part of the country are you from i really like your unorthodox style of fight/strength/enduracne traing i will start to take notes . .and practice and preach your method

  • I gave my shin a hard smack. Now there one deep hole in my shin. It doesnt hurt when i am jumping or doing any physical activities but when I massage it hurts so much. Can anyone tell me what to do ?

  • i think you should start with easy hits, and progressivly hit harder and harder over the weeks, because i think you need a lot of hits, not just a few ones. If you hit yoo hard you will only take mabe 10, but if you go moderate you might go above 100, which is better.
