When you begin kickboxing you need to condition your shins to kill off all the nerve endings. The bruises are just your shins getting used to being pummelled all the time. The reason people tell you to go kick a banana tree is that by kicking hard objects over and over you shins will eventually become stronger and unfeeling. There are other ways though of conditioning your shins such as rolling on frozen cans, bamboo sticks, or any other hard cylindrical object. Also just kicking the heavy bags will do the trick as well
