Really? So people should deaden the nerves in any surface that they will use to strike with? Personally I find it's better just to make it a habit to strike the proper target with the proper weapon (at least as much as possible). I don't condition my knuckles because I use knuckle punches to the body, not the head. For head strikes I usually use palms, elbows or knees. For kicking I find straight-line thrust kicks with the heel to have less chance of accidental injury for the kicker and also don't require conditioning. The only "conditioning" I do is cardio and abs...
Time
Slips through fingers
Like this world of dust
as long as you gradually progress with the conditioning and use liniments as well as not over condition you should l be more than fine
your shin kick may not land correctly or it may collide with your partners shin or knee or elbow
and that does not feel nice at all if your not conditioned i know lol
