And I thought it couldn't get any worse than skiing...

The shin bang that is....

Training for a kickboxing fight is much much worse... my shins are FUCKED

I think i'd cry if I tried to go skiing, but that doesn't matter cause I have no money and no pass. anybody wanna drive me and pay for my ticket?

but seriously my shins are black and blue and warm to the touch, it sucks

so fuck you guys and your skiing

don't cry about your shins to me

You shouldve started kicking trees at the age of 5 then. Hopefully after a while they will toughen up, sounds like it really sucks, sorry I cant help you with the skiing, or the kickboxing for that matter~

Should have taken a lead pipe to your shins over the summer and killed the nerve endings in them. After a while you will have no sensation at all and will be good to go! I know a couple of fighters who did that.

Yea its my first fight, so I am currently in the process of beating my shins harder than I ever have

An old teacher of mine used to say that it wasn't your nerves in your shins dying as you train, but its actually your body simply learning better ways to angle your shin and how to flex your shin muscle on impact. It's kind of like skiing, when you first start out you can get a crazy workout because everything is so hard. but as you get better and your technique develops you have to exert less and less energy to get down the moutain.
