Muay Thai fighters don't condition their shins by hitting hard objects like trees or poles. They condition their shins from years of kicking heavy bags and sparring without shinpads or mouthpieces. These is how they condition their legs and bodies, so muay thai fighters being able to kick and break down banana trees is just a perk they get due to years of kicking heavy bags.

Ya dont kick trees right away youll break your legs. They even advise agaisnt using rolling pins to desesitize them just kick that bag and spar. You can use a rolling pin just rake it acorsso the shin but trust me it doesnt feel good and you still have to kick while its sore or its uselss and just bruises you.

Depends on the point of contact. The further down the leg, the more force is generated. So you would generate the most force at the foot, rather then the shin. The main reason Muay Thai fighters hit with the shin is because it's one solid bone instead of the foot which is a collecting of small bones.

I love Muay Thai! I want to be strong like that as well!

Notice the lowness of the kick. Watch for the motion's concerted timing, especially the pivot of the foot, the core turning, the knee leading the shin into the target, dissipating the full power.

Vince Lombardi was predictable too. He knew it, and whoever was playing the Packers knew it. Guess what both teams also knew? That they couldn't stop the Packers anyway, so it didn't matter. His whole philosophy was, "Keep it simple, get insanely good at those simple things, and then it doesn't matter if they know it's coming or not, because they can't stop it."

Part of what you need to measure force is the resistance. Those balls put almost no resistance, so the force is going to be a lot lower. The punters kick being launched into a human would show numbers in the upper thousand.

If you rub and tap the shin with a solid object everyday it will become very strong

Kicking trees is a thing of the past. Muay Thai fighters are now kicking metal poles and wrenches 🔧.

They are not calculating the force of the two other assistants that they deliver to the bat, one of them produces a force clockwise and the other anti-clockwise and those two are added to the initial force produced by the kick.. so technically he's very good, but the assistants helped in breaking the bat more easily !

All the kicks you've listed are much more powerful.

Yeah, almost every kicking martial art has the potential to break a bat. Hell; my shinkyokushin shihan held a world record for breaking so many bats over and over.

When the object being hit is fixed then obviously it will register greater force compared to object which is moved by hitting. For example if the muay thai fighter would be kicking small ball his reading wouldn’t be as great as 720.

i fractured BOTH of my shins and they never re healed properly and they sometimes hurt just from running i need to do that training tho

Bro look at his fight he literally killed the guy wtf bone conditioning ftw

The training for Muai Thai is pretty though. Many of the time the training are spent on the legs, building strength and kicking stuff basically.

He's also kicking the thinnest most vulnerable spot of the bat...but still cool

That pun though

everybody search chip towsend world record 2016 he breaks 4 bats in one kick that is MY instructor

I don’t want to be the guy holding the bat in the sleep position

I bet he can make balls dissapear with that kick

If you think you can break baseball bats by kicking bags and pads you must really optimistic :)

melchor menor is a beast though.

Of course.. The goal of the Martial artist is to far exceed even the monster of this world in speed and power!

"He can kick some serious ash" LOL

And what if they held the bat upside down? That I would love to watch

The whole time all I wanted to see was a camera angle of him throwing the kick with his standing leg in the shot. It looks like he doesn't pivot during the kick and instead lands his left (non kicking) foot twisted in the position it would be at the end of the kick and then throws his hips into the kick. Is that possible because he was running into the strike? and therefore if he was standing still would he need to pivot to generate the extra power missing?
