Recommended Posts

i was sparrin in my first spar not to long ago and when eva i punched my sparing partener fullforce (my partener said it was the hardest punch he had eva incountered while sparring) i had to shake out my hand to use it again becuase it would go limp if this is weak wrists then how do i fix them.

 

and if it isnt weak wrists wat is wrong and how do i fix and no it didnt hurt much at all it just went limp. :(

Doesn't sound like weak wrists, sounds like improper alignment in a punch. You know those details your teacher goes over about proper wrist alignment in a punch? They're very, very important.

 

The only way I know of strengthening wrists themselves is to do pushups on top of them, but I am wary of doing that because of long term effects.

The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.

Okinawan Hojo Undo is pretty good for wrist (and other training). I do agree that it is probably due to improper form that your wrist is in pain. However, if you are interested in strengthening your wrist and other muscles and connective tissue, you may want to check this out. My philosophy is to use biomechanics and other things before strength at all times, but having strength is also a bonus...

 

Here's a website with a good description of various stuff. The owner is an excellent fighter and karateka, also a certified athletic trainer and has the certified strength and conditioning specialist credential (CSCS) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I also know him personally, and have bought some stuff from him before. However, his store is off-line at the moment (he's currently busy doing other stuff right now). All the same, it lets you know about it (if you want to buy some later or from another place).

 

You may just want to email him or give him a call (his info is on the webpage), as his webpage may simply be not updated at the moment.

Off the subject...sorry,...but Hudson, what is this that you have listed for your "style"?

Styles: Most hardcore style ever where you have to break your own bone to pass a black belt test because it's that hardcore and street effective and hardcore

 

I'm assumning it is meant as humor?

What? You're not aware of the way of IMMA MAKKI JOKKI? I had to break my right arm and stick my head in a boiling pot of oil in order to get my 1st dan! :bawling: Just to get my white belt I had to walk 200 miles barefooted through the forest where I had to wrestle 10 bears of different styles.... :P

I used to have problems hurting my wrists punching when i first started training in the martial arts.

 

Was mostly due to improper technique and poor aim so i was hitting the circular bag off-centre and my wrist buckling (ouch) Didn't take me too long to sort it out tho, i can smack it around with full power now without hurting myself.

Oh, yeah. It's a joke. It's the "Ultimate" art because it's street effective and hardcore. No McDojos. You have to kill a man to be 10th dan. It's that hardcore.
