Been hardening my knuckles...

[Kev]

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.

It's supposed to help gradually toughen up the bone too.

I'd ask Scrap for advice, he's the most knowledgeble person here, not only a trainer but he fought himself during the bare knuckle days of John L Sullivan.
