Any insight or secret to help bruising?

So I have been involved with Kosho for years and we also work Japanese Jiu Jitsu. As of a few months ago I started up with a Yoshitsune Combat Jiu Jitsu (Soke Michael DePasquale Jr. system) and the dead arm's are beating the hell outta my forearms when punching in. Any suggestions?

I can tell you due to blood test and seeing a doc it's NOT any underlying condition so that's ruled out.

Thanks Gang,

Poppa

Hmmm. Unfortunately I don't think I can offer anything other than more conditioning. I have this issue with my shins. The hard part for me is finding the median between contact / conditioning and rest / repair.

I have a friend who swears by witch hazel.

That's what my mum says :). That and arnica cream.

Although both of them are for treating the bruises rather than preventing them.

Some people just bruise easily. Usually, it will go away after a few years of practice.

Bruising can come from hesitation. Don't ask me why, just something I noticed over time. However if you are not hesitating, then it could be biological, and you may need to see a medical specialist.
Get hit a lot more, and eventually you won't bruise quite so readily.

Oh and not to disagree with my first message, I looked back at last medical records and guess that I had NOT had the blood test done for stuff like blood count, platelets and what not so my first post was a little misleading and is now corrected.
