I used to do "shin sets"sort of like forearm sets. (soto uke, gidan barai, uchi uke). You and a training partner connect shins in a similar manner and you build up as you go. High, low, high (or low, high, low) without dropping the leg, then switch sides. I liked them because they were fun, and you could go harder or lighter as you wanted and that it simulated connecting shins when sparring.
