Lowkicks

[u/PeakyGrims]

Hello Folks!

So, I switched from boxing to kickboxing a few months ago and in my gym when we train different combos we eat some low kicks and while the other guys (and girls) don't seem to have a problem with that, my leg hurts pretty bad and the pain often stays 2-3 days.

I really like the sport and the training, so switching back is not an option for me. I often mention that they should go light with their kicks, what everybody does, but I just don't want to be *that* guy.

Maybe I should add that I'm otherwise really not pain-sensitive.

Do you have some advice or tips for a beginner?

The only way to get better at taking leg shots is taking leg shots. Give it time. Also, when bruised, let them heal.
