Samurai Shotokan Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 I dont have any musical talents so and the computer is really not that big of a deal so the conditioning is still good and I dont have to worry about that 28 movies, 50 years Godzilla is King of the Monsters"nothing like a good workout" Paul Pheonix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Jules Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 The Goju punch ends at the point of contact with a "twist"....during makawari traing, you hit until you break the skinn slightly, then allow time for it to heal completely before going back to it.....this not only calloses up the skin, but it will in time, cause minor breakage in the knuckles, and as calcium deposits form to heal it, the knuckles grow in size and hardness. In the beginning of your training...take it easy at first, and like anything else...bulid up to the hard stuff. Just remember...the harder you make your training ...the easier real life stuff will be for you to deal with. ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47MartialMan Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 the surface of the bag will make some differences. Canvas can be pretty unforgiving of errors. Vinyl can be really slippery. Leather is the best. an 80 lb bag is a good one for starters, especially if you are going bare knuckle. You have gotten some good advice, and could alternate between bare knuckle to work on technique and GRADUALLY increase your Power. Then alternate with a nice pair of Bag gloves so you can do full out as well. Remember - the key to any conditioning is moderation. it takes years to condition the body parts. External callouses are not the primary goal; internal strengthening is more important and takes a longer time. good luck and have fun!

manuelito Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 heavy bag use gloves or at least a wrap. try punching a makiwara for conditioning. pain is weakness leaving the body.fear is the mind killer, i will face my fear and let it pass threw me. from the movie "dune"i know kung fu...show me. from the movie "the matrix" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47MartialMan Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Makiwara, easy to fabricate...and you can fabricate them on difficulty levels also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wing chun kuen man Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Samurai Shotokan, If you are serious about conditioning then it might be worth your while to arrange a makiwara or at least a place where you can train with it. To heal the bruising and to protect your hand it will be a good idea to use a good quality dit dai jow lotion. Like other people have said here in other posts, don´t rush your conditioning. Take it easy and be patient. Wing Chun Kuen Man Real traditional martial arts training is difficult to find.....most dojos in the west are Mcdojos....some are better and some are worst....but they are what they are....do you train in one?

Wickedwayz Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 strikeing a bucket full of sand with knife hands is good conditioning , or start with gardening soil then sand work up to pebbles whatever , i started doing that recently , hehe make sure your nails are cut and you dont care about your cuticles or whatever they are called cuz it will tear your hands up . ~Never retreat, Always advance to the rear.

Shane Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Start off light and work your way up. I would suggest wraping your wrists. Wrist injuries are the worst, because they hold you back from training so try to avoid those and wrap. A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I don't see why you want to condition your knuckles in the first place. Maybe when you want to show off by breaking bricks and stuff, but otherwise?? Why take the risks on injuries? In normal karate training you don't have to condition your knuckles. It's better to emphasize your training on other things. Hitting a bag on itself is good training; just use gloves. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
