I haven't done the rolling pins. I work on my shints by kicking the lower part of the Muay Thai bag... all the contents of the bag settle over time and make the lower portion hard as fuck!

You shouldn't be blocking with the lower part. The block should be a quick and effortless raise of the leg-thus blocking with a bent knee or the thicker upper shin.

Hey Boardin,
What is your routine with the rolling pin? how many reps how much force? please give as many details as possible.

i do 300 on each shin. up and down is one. i do this daily and apply force and make sure i hit where there is lots of nerves. i push hard enough that i can tell it is effective cuz its hurts. im a beginner however and this is how i was told to condition. been wokring greeat for me but maybe its not as good if u have been doing it for awhile???? however i know my sifu does 500 on each shin daily in addition to hitting it with short bamboo rods. hope this helps!

I'm not too excited about the rolling pins yet, I have heard about their use but haven't used them myself... Neither the Master or Kru I study under has adviced me to use the rolling pin(they haven't adviced against it either, they just never mention using them), they just tell me "Keep kicking the bag".
I'm trying to do some more research to decide if I want to use the rolling pin.

I train Muay Thai Tues, Wed, Thurs Mornings before I come into the office.
Some Fridays I train just Boxing.
Sat and sunday I might pop into the temple for Boxing or Muay Thai if time allows, or I'll just head to my gym to lift weights.
Some Tuesdays and Thursday nights I come down to help out with the High School kids and train them in Freestyle, Greco Roma Wrestling... When I can find a sitter for my kid since he is not old enough to roll yet.
Some times I pop into the gym and do a blitz 20min. workout, just: Deads, Squats, pull downs and all angles of bench and some dumbell work for Delts. no more than 5 sets per body part, Only about 10-12 sets Total @ about 12-14 reps. I usually do this Sundays, Mondays and Saturdays, OR fridays/Wednesdays when I decide to miss class to go lift.
Right now BJJ has fallen off my week, I just don't have the time for it, but I'm hoping to get back into it full force in a couple of months.
About the Avatar: I got the guy from some Muay Thai site and the dragon, Text and effects I put in myself.

I never said I used them, I never said my instructors told me to use them. I was asking questions to get more information about something I didn't understand, that is the whole point of this forum.

I'm pretty sure the rolling pin is a bad idea--I could be wrong though. The bags are the tried and true and SAFE solution.
Hey dudes- on a purely physiological side note....
-your bones when subjected to force (like impacts) remodel in order to withstand such forces....
>kicking a bag would not only deaden the nerves, but it would help the bones to remodel themselves to withstand blows over time and in time they would be able to withstand greater and greater impacts...
>rolling with a pin would NOT cause this to happen but it would deaden the nerves thus I think you would be more suseptible to a broken leg in time(less feeling+non-remodeled bone+huge impact=broken leg)
This is not intended as a burn or anything on anyone's teachers, just trying to help out bros and protect you from harm....
By the way awesome new forum BRR, I don't know shit about MA, but I enjoy reading up on different topics and maybe one day I will have the time to try a little myself...

Boardin, how much do your lessons cost? I wanted to take muay thai at some point, but I'm pretty broke at the time.
Becoming, good points.
Rodney, hush.
BRR, you have a really busy schedule. Damn man, I don't know how you do it.
Maybe sometime soon I'll be able to train in an art.

im off to thailand in the summer for some training, it will be interesting
to see how they train compared to us in the uk and us. although most of
em have a small frame they can do serious damage. the good thing about
thai is that it shows you where you weaknesses are in your legs, elbows. if it
hurts you've gotta train more. if your really serious about improving your
fighting techniques take a trip to shaolin in china and only there will you become a fighter you would only dream of. the training is very demanding, so
only go when your at full fitness otherwise you'll have no chance.
shaolin rules!

Boardin man, it's been almost 90 days since this post. How are your shins doing now? If they're still the same, don't fret, I read that it can take up to 6 months before they become conditioned. I wouldn't know though, since I don't train in kickboxing. Not yet, anyway. And hey, how did the rolling pin excercise workout? Could you give all of us an update? Right on.

Never heard of the rolling pin.
In Thailand they used the bag and then when working out with thai pads and the body belt the instructor would just all of a sudden block your kick with his shin.Shin to shin with a Thai instructor.......owwwww. You numb up after a while.
