does anyone here ever hit the heavybag barefisted??

[Spartacus Sully]

if you want tough skin soak your hands in brine.

if you want tough bones take up wing chun and hit wooden dummys.

[mrboxer]

i do..it makes your knuckles harder but you just cant punch it as long

are you kidding who told you it makes your knuckles harder,properly wrapped hands should be a priority when it comes to boxing,at no time should a boxer hit th ebag heavy or speed without hand wraps and boxing gloves

[ScottDBA]

Hitting the heavy bag without wraps is for noobs.

I hit blocks of different materials like the bonus game in Mortal Kombat. Wood and stone break too easy, steel is good for people under 150lbs. I do 3 rounds on a block of ruby.

My knuckles are so much harder now.

i do wrap my hands and use gloves..but sometimes i hit it barefisted just in case of a street fight

[Danny Gunz]

no its a good way to **** up your wrists and knuckles

[Bullrush]

with handwraps on, i do very lighth bag work every once in a while just to toughen up my knuckles a little bit. dont throw any power shots or anything like that

You do know that wearing gloves will still build calluses on your hands and give you tougher skin over time ?, doing it bare handed is just silly and will increase chances of damaging your hands.

[SBleeder]

I would never even punch it without handwraps, let alone bare-knuckled. I wear gloves in competition, so why do I need calloused knuckles? Makes no sense.

[Shabba Rank$]

Hmm...

I'd rather not injure my hands.

No thanks.

this is the same guy that was telling the amateur boxer to tuck in his elbows more.

when you shoulder roll you have to keep your elbow tucked and bent..that arm is meant to protect you from the body shots..sad that i actually have to explain this

this is the same guy who said he punches wooden fences
