Is there any where to get rid of that pain or kill the nerves in your leg so you don't feel it anymore.

As u beat ur shins more and more u deaden the nerves

After a few years of conditioing ur shins they become like a baseball bat

My experience in Muay Thai showed 3 things with regard to shin pain.

1) After lots of kicking, you don't seem to hurt as much

2) Be careful what you kick in a fight, because all the bull**** about "shin conditioning" doesn't keep you from hurting your shin bones.

3) Develop a placid, "nothing hurts me" attitude when you fight. Never show that your last kick actually hurt like hell when he blocked with his elbow. Kick him again. **** him.

Lots of kicking on banana bags helps, but neither the Thais I trained with nor the white guys who were smart did any of this weird "roll a bottle on your shin" crap. Just kick a lot, and let your shins heal when you bang them badly. Rolling a bottle doesn't make your kicks harder, improve your balance, or give you better endurance. As my coach always said, "Kick, kick, kick!"

By the way, Thais sometimes kick banana trees, not regular trees. Kicking a banana tree is like kicking a a soft 60 lb. bag. I've done it. Don't bother, just get a good heavy bag. Leave the banana trees to the poor Thais who live in the sticks and Jean-Claude.

Inject novocaine into your shins, that'll fix you right up!

NEVER kick anything harder than your shin bone, just kick the bag/pads and the conditioning will come.

The shinbones of my trainer Ivan Hippolyte were completely insensitive towards the end of his fightingcarreer which resulted in him kicking so hard during fights the skin of his shin bursted open. The same thing happened to fighter Rob Kaman and lately Peter Aerts. It's wiser not to harden your shins too much but you can do so by regularly kicking against a large tyre. At Vos Gym we have a truck tyre in the dojo. Don't kick too hard and often in the beginning because that will graze your skin!

Do this G-man, take a round pencil, roll it up and down your shins over and over for a while each night, this will seriously help deaden the nerves.

Mastrubate A LOT, and when I mean a lot, I mean as much as you breathe.

This will cause you to deaden the nerves in your shins.

I can barely do it 2 times a day before it starts to hurt.

Ice your shins after a work out.

Take magnesium at least 500 mg a day, that will help you recover faster.

You can also take an Epsom salt bath.
