Boxing Against a Random Thrower (More Detailed Question Inside)

[Bomp]

To actually be good at Muy Thai takes alot of conditioning,its murder on your shins

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?
