Can anyone give me tips to harden my fist in a not too unhealthy manner?

Theres really nothgin else to do but punch somehting, but instead of punching wood, punch a heavy bag without gloves but becarefull, you might sprain your wrist.

[KUNTA KINTE]

The best thing to do when strengthing any boney part of the body (such as forearms, fists, shins, etc.) is to break down the bones by rubing then with somthing hard or hitting them on or with somnthing hard.

Will it also help if i do push-ups on my fist?

[KUNTA KINTE]

That will sterngthen wrists. so in a way yes

[VinnieDaChin]

just punch a bag with small leather bag gloves, or even those fingerless kind, long enough and youll be fine. pushups on the knuckles are kind of dumb in my opinion, wont do anything for your hand.

puch a heavy bag with out gloves, push ups on your kuckle helps a little i think.

Our sensei said to build up tough skin on the shins kick a suspended sand bag lightly 500 times with each leg every day. I know it's old school, but perhaps it would work for the hands as well?

[isshinryu5toforever]

just be careful about conditioning your hands. A lot of times people who can do things like iron palm, end up with arthritis.

The Shaolin temple uses a technique where they will take a flower pot, will it with sand, and punch it to it about 100 times a day.
