Hi,maybe u did not wrap your hand properly or your punching technique is wrong. this maybe what happen. Consult yr trainer,he knows best..btw where u train?

Yup, probably will ask him next week. I just started with the beginner course at BXG.

Btw, does 'wrapping your hand' refer to how to clench the fist?

Hi, wrapping your hands is to protect your knuckle and wrist. Dont u wrap yr hands b4 training? Its one of the most things to know the proper technic of hand wrapping.

Your first lesson and you ve started hitting the bags??!! Something is not right, anyway you need to wear handwraps first before punching bags or pads. Handwraps are special piece of long cloth that you wrap around your hands and they support your wrist muscles, (they resemble like a bandage)you may have slightly sprained your wrists on impact. Take it easy go slow.

Probably the punching angle is wrong, you're supposed to connect with the first 2 knuckles - and contract your muscles when you do . Best way to find out is to ask the instructor.

Do not exert yourself!!!Dnt be like me n suffer in the long run!!N wrap those wrists good..

Thanks for the advice! Our hands/wrists were not wrapped for the first lesson, so maybe that explains why.... Shall be going slow and check it out with the trainer this weekend then.

That definitely explains it. Put on your handwraps and then you'll feel the difference.

totally agree on using hand-wraps!!! also be careful, i "hurt" my wrist that never really healed and about 3 months later i found out i had actually dislocated it lol! it obviously wasn't that bad an injury, but i just thought i had sprained it - we need to take care of our bodies so now i REALLY protect my wrists!!!

so is it normal for ur skin between ur fingers to tear when u use hand warps?I went for two straight lessons yesterday and now my skin between my fingers have red spots,something like papercut. ):

ps double post

Hi teelin, how training bro? I think u wrap between yg fingers abit too tight. Try loosen it a bit maybe it will help. Just make sure your hand dont turn blue when wrapping it..

I get cuts on my knuckles as well (that have now turned to scars!) from punching - even with wraps on...i don't think loosening my wraps will help that...any suggestions?

Softer wraps?

Try those handwraps that are a bit stretchy, I find them softer and easier/nicer to wrap. My old handwraps, the cloth is a bit rough (but more durable) so it tends to be a bit more abrasive on the hands (but I supposed that would be the last thing on everyone's mind when you're trying block punches and kicks from your opponents )

my coach wraps it for me,anyway just came back from training,11pm >< i since friday going two lessons a day,dam tired now.just got my knuckles' skin torn today.fyi,i'm using fairtex wraps.
