Ok, so this article really interests me... I would like to know exactly how to use the rolling pin on my shins, and what other exercise your friend mentioned when you spoke to him. Idon't really want to get into the argument above, I just want to know how the rolling pin was used, i.e. type of pin etc. For others who might be interested, in my style of Karate we also use the Muay Thai type of kicks, and we used them a great deal. Hitting to the thighs that is... Long ago, and am 50 years old one of our Shihans was known to have shins of steel, he could break anything with those shins... Anyway he used a rolling pin, and hit a thin red bag that was full of sand, and was as hard as a rock. Trust me, not many people hit it... Ofcourse except the few... The hardcore few... but the ones that did, were the absolute best fighters in the Dojo. Period.. I have bumped into a few of them throughout the years, and we all seem to have had the same problems with our knees, but not one of them complained about their shins. So what type of rolling pin do I use?
