GrrrArg Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Does it not depend on what the bag is filled with? I wouldn't want to hit a heavy heavy bag with my bare hand, one filled with rags etc: is not too hard on the hands. If im using a bag I normally wear sparring mitts anyway, these tend to do the job well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuggish Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 good post whitey. anyway, yeah, totally agree its bad for your hands, not just because of everything whitey said, though its all true... but because the actual force on your knuckles, because they are bones, is bad. you can damage the tiny parts of the bone and over time push them back into your fist. and yea, probably any type of heavy bag would require gloves for the above reasons. personally, i like the fingerless gloves because they feel more like a fist than any other glove, though any bag glove (with enough padding for my rock hard denim filled 75lb-er) is acceptable. a broken arm throws no punches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I like those fingerless gloves, they're the only ones I use the right part of my fist with. You should always use gloves though, why would you want to damage yourself?

Hairydog Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Though it can cause damage, I believe it's necessary to ATLEAST alternate between bag gloves and no gloves cause you don't wanna punch a guy in the face, get a booboo, and get your butt kicked cause you can't punch anymore cause of the pain. I'm not dissing them, and their importance is obvious, but you have to able to punch something without whining about it. Don't say it doesn't happen i've seen sissies do it.

Vito Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 well thats actually why i like the fingerless gloves... theyre a lot like a real fist. as a matter of fact, last night i went about 40 minutes straight on the heavy bag (after a workout...) and today i can feel it in my first two knuckes just a little, right where i should.
