Boxing Against a Random Thrower (More Detailed Question Inside)

[Youngblood]

That I know. The Muay Thai guys are conditioned incredibly well. I've watch their workouts, and they are tough SOB's. They're conditioning routine is brutal.

I did it a bit,my shins are still a scar from knee down. I mean it just tears you the bad word up

I am curious about Muay thai, though I hate a knock on a shin. Was wondering if your shins get used to it, and if the bones actually get tougher after practicing it for a while?

On a related note, what are your guys opinions on the benefits of doing a little kickboxing or Muay Thai to complement boxing? Does the act of repeatedly kicking a heavy bag (with proper form, not wellying it like a football) help develope leg strength and balance?

I know nothing of Muay Thai or kick boxing. What I do know is this. Most everyone at my club are ex MMA. They now focus specifically on boxing, and brought a set of skills with them that I believe started them off way ahead of others. Some of them have incredible hand speed.

I think it probably helps having some background in some combat sport for anything, to lead into another.
