How to Toughen Your Feet for Martial Arts
- 1). Train barefoot for as long as you can every day. Stop the moment you feel blisters or other discomfort coming on. Refrain from training until any blisters or sores on your feet heal. If you must train during this time, wear martial arts shoes to protect your feet.
- 2). Walk, dance and train barefoot on surfaces with increasing friction whenever possible.
- 3). Run or walk outside on uneven terrain. This will strengthen the muscles of your feet and ankles. It's best to do this barefoot, but wearing light shoes with thin soles will toughen your feet until you can go barefoot.
