Hi, Im new here i would like to ask for some advice on punching a solid wall with hand wraps and boxing gloves on and ofcoz with a six inch thick cushion. I wrap my hands and wear boxing gloves, i get someone to hold a thick cushion against the wall and i use about 70% power behind my punch. Is this good for me or not? Thanx

If you want to become a great fighter, punching walls is the way to go.

I think Scrappy might have been pulling your leg on this one. Whatever you punch needs to have a bit of momentum-give to it. Thats why heavy bags are made to swing. I would recommend shadowboxing over hitting the wall. You can wrap your hands correctly and have a cushion or whatnot, but the first time you accidentally throw too hard, your hand is going to break in several places.

Do not hit a solid wall whether your wrapped or not. The bones in the back of your hand are among the most fragile bones in your body, dont **** with them like that. Aswell you will probably end up tearing something in your shoulder or some wear else. Plain and simple, punching a wall is not smart.

Rockin':boxing:

Besides hurting your hand your could put a whole in the wall (unless its like concrete)

I have dozens of holes in my wall from when I get pissed, trust me they're not "becoming"....

lol thats a good oneyes, it was a good one.

A wall has no similarities to a human makes no sense. dumb ass

Punch the wall easy with bare knuckles. Don't punch anything too hard unless it has give. Flat wall bags are generally rubberized. Makiwaras have some play back and forth. Nothing wrong with conditioning the knuckles. How many boxers you see who walk around with casts after a street fight? This is due to too much training with gloves. Work the heavy bag with seamless leather work gloves to toughen the hands and wrists.

Thanx 4 ur advise. I think im going to stop punching the wall and get my self a very heavy bag.

hahahaaha, well I guess punching the wall could help improve your accuracy. You can practice slipping punches when the wall bounces back at you,...hahahahahaha

****, my wall doesnt move. How can i make it move?!?!

OK,..... although punching a wall increases the resistance of your hand to impact, you must use a heavy bag in order to time, coordinate and associate yourself with a moving object. A punching bag is also pretty hard so it will also strengthen your resistance.

The shaolin Monks used to punch concrete blocks hundreds of times a day in order to increase impact resistance. And although it actually does work, hitting a punching bag will give you way more benefit than a wall does.

Everything has its own good. Shaolin priests punched walls, lightly, to strengthen the striking surface and underlying structure. Not only does the bony face of the knuckle become thicker, but with time the matrix realigns itself to face the force of the impact. Pan Qing is a good modern day example of this. He strikes a steel plate lightly 2000 times per day and has large deformed knuckles. They also used wall bags which had give. Not only the wrists, but the shoulders joints can be compressed and injured by striking hard surfaces with no give. That's why people train bare knuckle push-ups on the floor, e.g. in order to avoid the impact. Most Chinese equipment, like the mook jong dummy, has play in it for this reason. One can train accuracy as much on a wall bag, assuming straight punches, as anywhere else. And old-fashioned fighting without gloves incorporated a lot more straight punches and less hooking motions with the fists because bare fists, given conditioning, are so much harder than gloved fists. One can look back at the old timers who used either no gloves or very light, thin gloves and check out their stances, even some of their footage (Jack Johnson comes to mind). Much more centerline conscious on both offense and defense. So it depends on what a person is training for. But, since this is a boxing forum, one would assume he is training to box. A heavy bag is good for some things, assuming it is leather, filled equally throughout, and not too hard, soft, or too heavy. But a beginner can just as easily get hurt on the heavy bag by hitting it awkwardly with poor form or spraining the wrist if one isn't used to hitting it or not properly wrapped. All this being said, my favorite training device is the heavy bag.

Ill still stick to my double end bag for favorites.

I love the double-end bag......

thanx everybody for your great advise.
