haha Just be careful not to overdo the shin kicks on the heavy bag or the pads, that can be nasty, well actually just wear shin guards and you should be fine.

Shin pads

haha Just be careful not to overdo the shin kicks on the heavy bag or the pads, that can be nasty, well actually just wear shin guards and you should be fine.

I second the shin pads, I prefer the ones that slip on like a sock, they don't move around on you when you are sparring and such like the ones with the velcro straps. I would wear em only when you are contacting shin to shin. If you are kicking a bag don't wear em, you need your skin and bones to get used to the impact and toughen up. Peace.

well thanks for the kind words guys...it's kind of a personal goal of mine to get good enough to be able to compete eventually....i know it will take a long time and a lot of work, but its something i want to do for myself....
