Been hardening my knuckles...

[Douglas]

Does this look like a bad thing? It doesn't hurt or anything, but I just wanted to make sure.

[:::PSL:::]

They're ready to stamp someone's face with them.

Just dont beat them so much that you get arthritis later in life.
Best to start off with sand and get courser and courser stuff till your into small gravel to toughen the skin up like leather first.Then go onto lead pellet filled sacks for tempering knuckles for punching.
There are herbs you can buy through the chinese that stop any bone damage but your skin goes like iron when tensed up.
You have to heat it up like a tea and soak in it for 20 miniutes after training on the hard bags.

Whats going on you going to fight Kimo slice ?

[boozeboxer]

does this have anything to do with you never getting laid?

[AdamGB]

What have you done to yourself and why?!..

Nah, I just want to be able to punch someone without hurting myself. Although I'll bet Kimbo's knuckles are hard like that too (as I've seen him training on the heavybag with bare hands).

I just did like Quingfu Pan did, ever-so-lightly punch on something a few hundred times a day, and the next day do it gradually harder and harder. BY NO MEANS can I beat on something hard like metal with all of my might like he can. However, I'm able to put a little more force when "punching" [I'm not able to do it hard enough to actually punch).

Hmmmm, somewhat. They say girls won't like it, but they never did like me when I had softy hands, so it won't matter now will it? Fuck em' (or DON'T, for that matter...)

Self flaggulation, cause its Easter.

Has he ever posted a picture of his hands? I didn't think mine were all that hard.

[mnmc10]

no i meant manny pacquiao, i spoke to him a couple of times back then when he had his fighting cocks farm setup a stone throw away from my house.

he had calouses up to the joint after the knuckles too.

Oh. What did he do to harden them up?

[mnmc10]

i really dont know but i guess its cause of the years and years and years of training, and probably poor handwrap technique.

but if you want to lessen the pain when punching expecially if you hit the hard parts of a face like chin,eyebrows and cheeks. you should always keep your fist clenched tightly as in real tight. never punch with a slightly opened fist itll hurt like hell!

Oh yes! I've found that out on the heavy bag.

What a bizarre thread

I don't see how you can harden your knuckles to prevent your hand from hurting. All your doing is hardening the skin, so it maybe won't sting as much.

But it's not stinging hands that hurt, its broken bones and this wont help that.
