Jab = Instant Nose Bleeds

[Scrap]

You may have an internal cut, which isnt having time to Heal. You could try Arnica tablets for a week, give it a rest the Sparring.

But Scrap, would giving it a rest even help, if the first time I sparred, and caught my first punch to the nose, I started bleeding.

I understand if I caught a vicious blow.. but it was a simple jab, like almost a tap.

Unless it was some sort of pre-boxing injury.. But I havent even fist fought for years.


.. and if I were to give sparring rest, how long would you suggest?

[Scrap]

It happened to me when I started and many others. It also depends what sort of nose you have, as regarding bridge and cartiledge. Give it time.

all right, will do... Thanks Scrap

With me was the same. At the begining even a jab on my guard trigered the nose bleeding... The solution for me was easy... I must warm up my nose and ears vary good.

P.S. Sorry for the bad englisch

Again, a visit to an ENT is in order.

Another idea might be to obtain one of the head guards that has nose protection, just to avoid the issue for a while.

This won't work for (amateur) competition, but it will let you practice without the inconvenience of constant injury. I see many of the in my "Title" catalog (from many of brands and labels, not just the Title name.)

^^ yea I was thinking of that for a bit too Herb.. but I just got laid off work, so I don't think I'll be able to afford new headgear right now.

I believe my cousin has one with a nose bar, maybe I can see if I can borrow his for a bit.

Thanks for all the help guys.
