@@amartyapandit I snapped the metacarpal on my right pinky at the knuckle-end, doctor said it bent about 45 degrees. To be perfectly honest I didn´t feel anything when it first happened, but I think that´s because I was so pissed off my adrenaline was sky-high. Had the shittiest day that I just finally snapped and smashed a street sign (smart, I know, especially considering the thing was a foot higher than my head). Only thing I noticed was a really loud crack (like a dry piece of wood snapping) which at first I thought was the plywood sign cracking, but when I took a couple more steps I noticed the edge of my hand had an extra corner in it hahahah. I only started feeling it like 5 minutes later when I´d calmed down a bit, but I can´t say it was really that bad. Just a dull ache which got worse when I moved my pinky (and to an extent my other fingers), kind of like a bruise feels when you press down on it. It was pretty late in the evening so I just went to bed after keeping some ice on it, and I slept just fine. Aching was a bit worse the next morning because of the swelling, but still certainly not excruciating or anything. If it happened in a fight it certainly wouldn´t have stopped me, I probably wouldn´t even have noticed, but I imagine it would have felt pretty freaking intense if I threw another punch and bent the snapped off part further. The pain wasn´t bad, but what was interesting was how I seemed to lose ALL of my grip strength instantly once I realized it was busted, I could just barely hold a soda can even though the pain wasn´t so bad that it made me loosen up. I think it´s some kind of defense mechanism where your brain stops you so you don´t hurt yourself more, kinda like if you tried to bite a chunk out of your arm. Your jaw could easily manage it but the brain just goes "Hell no, you idiot" so you aren´t really biting down even though it might feel like it. So I don´t know if that would happen during a fight or not, I think you´d just grab normally and then cry later when it feels like your hand is splitting in two. Long story short/TL:DR Constant dull ache, making a fist or trying to grip something made it worse, but still not anything crazy. Zero grip strength, when I picked up a glass of water I had to squeeze the fuck out that bitch so I wouldn´t drop it

The trick to punching correctly is to never hit hard objects with your hands. Only hit nose, throat or breadbasket with with your knuckles. Use a palm-heel strike for the jawbones and shooting up a strike to the bottom of a nose. No need to fuck up your hands when their are other options. Saps or blackjacks work good to.

Modern Okinawan masters also bear the marks of extreme conditioning, just not to that extent usually. Even I have visible signs still, and I quit all that type work 25 years ago. When I became a blacksmith it took a different direction but still had an effect. The guy I apprenticed under after school was shoeing for 30 years when I went to work. I saw him hit a Missouri Jack mule (think a mule the size of a Clydesdale horse) between the eyes and knock him to his knees. It wasnt the only time it happened. If you know horses, the usual outcome is the horse stands there and sorta giggles and the puncher goes to to have the bones in his hand set and casted up. The vibration from the impact of the hammer on steel has the effect, plus the gripping of the steel or tongs on the workpiece. My first day in the forge almost made me walk, 8 weeks later I didnt feel much of anything. When I quit working for the public I could handle steel that still had a feint reddish glow from the heat. The forgemaster, an Aussie, could hold steel that was yellow by the cooler end barehanded and walk away with an 8lb sledge head on a 12" handle...creepy guys I know, yep..

Kyokushin and general Okinawan practiser here (amongst others; I trained directly under Steve Arneil). And also, I'm a grade eight+ guitar player (for 25 years), that second part I feel is important to note considering what parts of the body we are talking about :) Compression conditioning is very important imo and often overlooked. For me, it's easy to do (and safer) then any 'impact' conditioning (although that has it's place too; when practiced correctly, and so few do ..due to a lack of handed down knowledge). Correctly aligned knuckle pushups (with arms correctly positioned, for punching), holding long 'static holds' (and increased load bearing - i.e. people standing between your shoulder blades or wearing a rucksack filled with Irish red bricks, dumbbell weights etc :) The alignment AND compression of the joints (i.e. wrist, elbow and even shoulder) are very important and often overlooked for impact conditioning. Compression conditioning stops your arm acting like a shock absorber - it's natural state (when you hit; the wrist, elbow and shoulder compress and so act like a shock absorber). This training in time turns your arm (whenever you choose to compress your wrist, elbow etc) into an object that transfers kinetic force into whatever you hit (even with little power) ..as opposed to absorbing most of that force back into the body (the natural way the body works). Then add impact training to this (ala correct Makiwara understanding and training) and your starting to get into ikken hissatsu territory ;) Gradual, progressive overload. That should be the mantra of anyone starting conditioning. And the understanding that bruises and damage only limit how far you can take conditioning. Ideally you should never bruise, cut your hands (etc) when training. If you do, that should be seen as a mistake on your part because of improper training and a limiting factor to how far you can take your conditioning (bruises heal using scar tissue ...not good for people wanting to attain true/good hand conditioning). Don't ever hit anything 'hard' (even after decades). Only hit hard when you mean to (or, if a demonstration truly requires it). Doing this saves a lot of wear and tear on the hands. Oh, and NEVER break. Breaking is to show where you are at and no more. Never get tied up in breaking, because it always leads to bad ego and bad hands. I can't overstate this paragraph: You MUST do the correct warmup AND cool down exercises (pooling oxygenated blood into the forearms+hand, stretching muscles and tendons in the hand/arm before and after training). Do these and your hands will get stronger, more flexible and be better than they were before training. This is covered in Hojo Undo by things like Nigiri Game (which also 'apparently' trains a disembowelment technique - if you have a good Okinawan teacher :) Which (imo) is the point, not to turn your hands into basic cudgels but something better then what you started with (in the past 'aggressive'*dangerous* conditioning was taught to the peasant class at times of war ...that seems to have effected civilian training in conditioning right up to the present day). I do believe in Dit Da Jow also (IF you happen to damage yourself) ..but, I think that rubbing your hands with any high strength alcohol does basically the same thing ;) ..the Greeks and Romans would agree, that a good alcohol rub releases fatigue in muscles and gets rid of any minor bruises etc. Bottom line with all this rambling; Get a teacher who has taught this for (say) 50 years and who can demonstrate it and show they still have good hands. Make sure there is a line of teachers (before them) that have taught this down (and have never had issues with arthritis, nerve damage etc, etc). As an example: One of my teachers was part of a science study in Japan. They took approx. 1000 10th Dan martial practitioners (all were into hand conditioning) and scanned their hands (various methods) for arthritis. Can you guess how many came back with hand issues? A big fat 0% (which flies in the face of public opinion and movie logic).

Just go to the gym and throw jabs at the heavy bag until you start to feel a slight sting, maintain those jabs until that sting goes away. After that, you won't be able to do much since your hands will hurt every time you open them. So I recommend keeping them closed if possible. Knuckle conditioning is slow and painful process. But you're also increasing your own pain tolerance. A quick tip though: keep your hands loose until right before you actually connect to the bag/object you decide to punch. Remember, you're trying to condition your knuckles, not break your hand. Also, remember that since you're using your bare knuckles, your hands have nothing to support them except the tightness of your fist, so if you miss your timing, just let the jab connect (it might sting a little on a loose fist) and correct yourself on the next punch. Don't go into a heavybag with the ambition of turning your arms into spaghetti.

I don't use handwraps or whatnot, and will only use gloves sparingly. My middle to little knuckles have callouses on them. If I use gloves, the callouses go away after time. Not wrapping your hands forces you keep your fists aligned. When I fight I would make sure they didn't wrap them as they usually do, but only wrap them loosely as to protect my opponent from my knuckles.

As someone who doesn't compete in martial arts but just trains for practical self-defense I have a very simple formula that has worked for me for many years... 1) Hit the speed bag and double end bag bare-fisted 2) Hit the heavy bag with bag gloves on to protect my hands from injury I found that this combination toughened my hands up enough for the occasional times when trouble found me. However, as I have gotten older I now carry a cane with me and find that this simple walking-aid (aka self-defense club) trumps anything I could ever do with my hands.

I'm currently 34 years old, and when i was 14 i first started with a punching bag using bare knuckles. When i was about 16 i started punching wooden door frames. Since then i gradually started hitting harder objects. Now i've been punching metal parking meters & solid concrete walls for the past 5-6 years. The thing that baffles me is this: I'm not sure how my knuckles got this durable, considering that i wasn't very repetitive with my conditioning. Then & now, i only punch things 5 or 6 times with each fist, then i stop because i become wary about breaking them. I usually let them rest for a about 2 weeks afterwards. I've never broke a bone, but i've also never punched someone in the face, which is something i'm keeping as a last resort. BUT i worry about a couple things if i were to punch someone in the face with bare knuckles: First, i feel like my knuckles could potentially inflict too much damage to the person. And secondly, i worry that i might've trained my knuckles on a bad angle, leading to a broken hand; especially since flat surfaces are totally different from the angles of someones face. I only train my last 3 knuckles, so i've been experimenting with different striking techniques that could save me from breaking those knuckles on someones head. I have zero martial arts training, but i figure having a good punch in a random street fight is better than nothing, lol.

@ZeKiran35 жыл бұрын
There are only a very few people who hit with last three knuckles. The idea is not popular compared to first two knuckle punching from karate or tkd and people are talking about "boxer's fracture". They are right, that's if you strike with a horizontal fist and hit with only the pinky or the ring which make your fist to move in a bad position and alignement. That's why old bare knuckle fighter were using vertical fists with last three knuckles. However, vertical fists also protect your scaphoid. People talk about boxer's fracture but not about scaphoid fracture. Really, it's a common injury and it can happen when you hit with the first two knuckles at a certain angle and that risk is higher when you throw a horizontal fist. What I think is use the two knuckles on the body since it cause more internal damages and cause more pain. On a body, the angle is right and the fist is stable. For the nose and under, I go for the last three with a slightly downward motion when I punch since my wrist is more stable and there is less resistance at the impact so it can make more "twisting" on the jaw at the impact which increase the chances of knockout. I am talking about bare knuckle of course 👌✌

I recently made a bag out of green canvas, stitched together with a leather stitcher and pebbles. Not a big bag. It weighs about 40lbs. I've been using it for only a month. I've also been tapping my shins with a wood rod and rolling my forearms over it while the rod sits on my thighs. I do this once a week, as that's how long it takes for the bruises to go away. I don't expect great results for a long time. Perhaps years. I'm almost 40 and wanted to get back into martial arts but don't have the time for a school. The least I can do it toughen my bones and experiment with techniques picked up from books and videos. Having a friend that also wants to learn is beneficial. I like to think it isn't to late to achieve some level of efficiency. I'm currently working on a 5ft high bag that will be bound to the floor using a round concrete yard step that will sit on a rubber pad inside the bag. The bag will be hollow and the inside wall will be stacked with bags of pebbles. An inner frame will hold them in place. The bag will be covered with a thin cushion. I want the bag to have a feel of hitting a hefty person.

A Systema push up is done on the closed fist. It aligns wrists with hand bones and makes your knuckles much stronger. It’s done very slowly, eg 30-45 secs down, 30-45 secs up with no resting at the bottom. It is strenuous and strengthens arms, shoulders, chest, abdominals and legs. A trickle of sweat down the back is normal. And to get the oxygen needed for this exertion there is a special very rapid breathing technique.

I borrowed knuckle conditioning techniques from those Kyokushin guys. Punching trees specifically. Like with anything, it's necessary to gradually build your way up. Do it soft at first and keep going from there. Personally I do both knuckles and metacarpals. Edit: Follow-up - Regular Rock Climbing is also a good way to build your grip and strengthen the tendons in your hand.

As a an absolute beginner I just recently started training on a heavy bag once or 2 times a week. The first time I did it bare knuckle with full force, needless to say that was a terrible idea. Shaved knuckles and joints badly. Afterwords when they were healed I used wraps and gloves and this protected my hands very well. I still experience difficulties punching correctly: I try to avoid contact with the small knuckles as much as possible as this hurts both joints and wrists on impact. For those like me who are just startting on the heavy bag word of advice wear full protection: wraps and gloves and use well aligned punches to avoid injury. Great video btw

Bone conditioning is a very real and useful thing. The idea is to harden the substance of the bone itself. This is done slowly over time like Ramsey sead, each time your bones make contact with an object it coses vibration this vibration moves the molecules of the bone closer and closer together which hardens them. The shock absorbing wrist joint and the skin around you're nuckls can be conditioned farley quickly maby around a year or 2 but densening bone takes much longer

I would tell people to take care of their hands, use wraps, and avoid doing things that can cause injury. Many years ago, I used to box and do a very hard style of martial arts - and would often participate in karate demos where I would do breaking. On one such break - I punched through two patio blocks stacked on top of each other - even though my hands were conditioned from all the training, I fractured a small bone - anyway 25 years later that same injury flares up, as do several others. Unless you are going to earn a living punching things where you need a hard conditioned fist, be careful with your hands.
@fireeaglefitnessmartialart9355 жыл бұрын
Awesome. I'd probably say the same things if anyone asked me about hand conditioning. I personally do it because its necessary especially for both sport and street. Which is why I dont use wraps. Just bare hand or gloves. My last gym also had one of those aquabags which used also, as well as a striking "station" that was basically a "box" on the wall with sand pouches on each 4 inner walls plus the back wall. I used to hit those all the time. I would train both punching tyles: horizontal(boxing), vertical(wingchun), as well as palm, knife/ridge hand and wrist strikes.

I was always a fan of using tires. There's enough give so you don't hurt yourself but it's tough enough that you get the proper level of resistance for toughening up your arms to throw strong punches. I still wrap my hands and wrists when I do this though. I work with my hands in more ways than one so I can't afford any injuries.
@dylan.j.schreiner3 жыл бұрын
5 minutes is very little, and it's good to strike with different angles, the palms, the back of the hands, hammer fist, upward (reverse to hammer fist), the second finger knuckle and finger point hits. If self-management is good then 30 minutes a day is appropriate. Tapping harder rigid surfaces and hitting more flexible structures balances out the development. Massage the areas and put some rubbing alcohol on the hands. Weight loading is also important, so handstands (against a wall) and knuckle planks are good.
@Deamontai5 жыл бұрын
I agree with this method and I would recommend this video for anyone asking about conditioning. One of the benefits of iron palm work is focus. A lot of the more "impressive" breaking feats are more about focusing on the strike and following through correctly. Conditioning your knuckles is important, but it doesn't matter how hard or strong your conditioning is if you don't have the focus to follow through right.
@Nuetral7684 жыл бұрын
One of the best things I got out of knuckle conditioning was not the conditioning of my knuckles, but of my mind and nervous system (feel free to ask questions)... basically, I learned that I could protect my hands better delivering nearly identical force (if not greater) as well as increasing the speed of my punches considerably by riding the recoil of my punches rather than letting that force build and damage the weaker parts of my anatomy... Just goes to show that if you're looking for deeper levels you'll find those levels in literally anything... part of the reason I love so many of your videos btw. :) Keep up the good work. :)

It's nice to hear some common sense from one of these KZbin videos. The only suggestion I would add would be to concentrate most of the hand conditioning on the largest two knuckles. Yes, you'll have to angle your wrist a bit but the two smaller knuckles and adjoining bones just aren't very strong. If you hit someone in the head or hit something hard on their body you'll be less apt to break your hand by using the larger, stronger knuckles . It's hard to fight or defend yourself when broken hand pain shoots up your arm. That is the basis of shotokan and Okinawan karate technique.
