Most serious fighters condition their hands/legs with repeated punching and kicking. There are actually two reasons for this.
1. Conditioning the nerves, pain receptors so you feel less pain.
2. Increasing the density of your bones.
Most people know that, but the science behind is that as the bones in your body is subjected to a higher load, the bone will remodel the structure itself to become stronger, thus strengthening the bone.
Professional Muay Thai fighters trains with this in mind, kicking trees, hundreds of times until the tree would sway! A direct hit from one of these and you'll be lying down for the next six months. However to achieve such a degree of bone strength would require years and years of hard work. Not to mention the agonizing pain.
