I knew a Sgt (USMC) who would get another guy to just kick him in the chest, clash fore arms and punch abs to body harden. We do it with sticks and padded shins.

We used to do that in boxing, having your partner punch you repeated (1-2,1-2) in the abs for a short round, and then switch.  Good times.  For shins, we kick a hard-as-hell Fairtex Thai bag: 10 with the left, 10 with the right, for a whole 3 minute round.

EDIT:  Forgot to mention flutter kicks.  Those are great; they also strengthen the muscles used to lift your leg (for kicking, checking, etc.).
