    Default Re: Hardening my hands and wrists

    The best thing to do for the bones would probably stay sports specific if your after this kind of effect, then do this, not that. right? im not 100% sure i believe the whole wolfs law stuff but i believe a densening of the bones of some kind can be achieved and that it doesnt require hardcore hitting solid object repetition type cycles to build upto.

    I think its enough to just work the bag with mitts and just wraps and eventually bare handed, its very important to punch like you cant bend your wrists, only twist them, also to be accurate, otherwise you'll fold your wrists and skim the bag, i remember in TKD we would kick and punch, barehand and foot a heavy nylon bag and i would get countless injuries, some foot injuries that have stayed with me for life, to this day i will work bags without gloves and wraps but i know its only because im using good bone allignment now from the shoulder down, if i misjudge bone allignment then i would injure myself like i have done so many times before i took up boxing, because the weakest muscle in my forearm isnt strong enough to support the wrist during a strike using all the other muscles in my body if allignment in the arm has gone wrong, if anyone tells me theirs can, theyre telling me they have a very weak punch, i dont care how many wrist curls you do. if the weakest muscles in the wrist can support the force from the rest of your body then the rest of your body is increadibly weak. what im saying is good technique is the most important thing when not breaking your hand or injuring wrist when hitting somthing.

    The Thai's kick bannana tree's because of their stringey bark, they arent rock solid like a palm tree, you want somthing soft that will conform to the shape of your hand rather than vice versa, like a heavy bag or hitting thai pads bare handed. i feel this missunderstanding is what has lead to the crazy shin conditioning you see going on in some MMA classes.
