thaiboxerken Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 No, just keep punching the bags and pads. That's all the conditioning you need. In a streetfight, it doesn't matter you'll still get cuts on your knuckles. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

Iron Arahat Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 When conditioning the hands, never make them bleed. You are doing alot of damage. Knuckle push up just develop large knuckles from calcium deposits, this will just give you problems later in life. Build the muscle first, use the proper medicine to promote circulation and healing, massage, and don't overdo it. If you cut your hand let it heal before starting again. As for kickboxing there is no real need as the gloves will diperse the force of the glove.

Danny boy Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 Just make sure your hands are properly strapped before you put the gloves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiboxerken Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 I put on bag gloves and that's it. I never wrap.. wrapping the hands serve as a crutch and the tendons/muscle that hold the wrist straight will not get stronger if you keep wrapping.

Iron Arahat Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 Personally I dip my hands in honey first, then usually the chocolate sprinkles, and finally gummie bears for the added protection... I can't remeber what Hot Shots movie it was, but it was pretty funny, making fun of Jean Claude and his Kickboxer movie.

iamrushman Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 just a joke here...... i have conditioned my hands..... first with jello, then pudding, next week i move up to tapioka ( it has particles in it that might hurt me). but seriously..becareful and protect the hands with wraps and gloves. use proper punching techniques by making a tight fist and using the strong part of the fist (first two knuckles) to prevent boxers fractures. rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
