when throwing kicks at those hard packed heavy bags i use only shin and don't connect with the foot

you can condition your shins that way...if the pain becomes to unberable after hittin it for a while you can switch to a softer bag and still condition your shins

i use that hard heavy bag also for fast combos with no power and also use it to work jabs(doubles and triples) whiles working on footwork

i'll move around the bag a lot circling and hittin it with jabs but don't use full power on it because i don't want to hurt my hands or my wrists

if you want to go with power punches, hit the heavy bag that is soft not the hard one

ankle wraps...never used them but i hear it gives good support

i hear they are inexpensive tho so if you want go for it and see how it fits you
