Baseball bat

I have a tournament coming up in a month or so and the upper ranked dans get to demonstrate some skills. I was thinking about breaking a baseball bat with my shin. I've got fairly conditioned shins, but I'm wondering if anyone here has ever done it? What's the best type of bat?

a soft one?

it would be impressive and a little different if you used a metal bat

now that id go see...

i think you will find you are far better off with heavy bag training as this will condition your shins just as well

yea Outkast, about your comment.......what?

I think he was thinking that I'm using a baseball bat to condition my shins.

I breaking a baseball bat for a demonstration, not conditioning with it :P

sorry guys got the wrong end of stick a friend once told me he used wine bottles as means of hardening his shins

i have heard that muay thai fighters used to use heated glass bottles rolled on their shins to deaden the nerves and sensitivity. While this may be good in the short term, it hardly promotes longevity

i think you should judge yourself, nobody knows your strength better then yourself... good luck and I hope you dont get hurt ;)
