Have someone kick you while you block with shins.

best way is to kick the bag if you cant do it with short on try using pants like sweatpants and shoes it you hurt you feet also, make sure you warm up before also

Why? They would prob just start crying.

and if they were really pi55ed, they would run at you and fall over, crying out for the reff.

Not a good idea.

You need to repeatedly kick something that is LESS hard than your own bone. Ofcourse, 'less hard' does not mean soft! Training on a good, heavy, sandbag will condition the shins wonderfully and has relatively little associated risks.

Remember though, nothing harder than the bone!

jhust bang'em, and bang'em... you own heel is a great thin to use.

remember this--- it is not how hard you hit them, but how often you hit them that will condition your brain to ignore it.

you are not cionditioning the shin, you are training the brain- it is a matter of acceptance.

The truth is that we're actually conditioning BOTH - the nerves do become conditioned by the impact... and through the training we come to develop a certain mental conditioning to the pain.

in a short term view maybe sorta, BUT

the nerves recover, but mental conditioning for tolerance and accpetance are for life.

Very true.

Whatever the case may be, NO ONE likes to get hit in the shin, regardless. But it does hurt less with regular sandbag workouts. I also found that I became far less prone to bruising aswell. At first, a clash of shins would, without question, result in at least a tasty bruise (or sometimes a nasty swelling that would need to be pushed out). After 6 months or so of bag work, I was considerably less sensitive.
