[@dhalav]

Old-school boxers did not strike with their wrist bones, they knew how to strike. The main technique was straight vertical punch landing with the bottom three knuckles, because it follows the principles of what Jack Dempsey later named the Power Line. It means that there is a perfect alignement between your fist (you aim with the part between the middle and ring fingers), your elbow and your whole shoulder. Some of the best of those bareknuckle boxers foughts hundred times, if they did not knew how box with their bare-hands they would have had very short careers. Early days of gloved boxing have of lot of techniques from this era.

[@ironmikehallowween]

That’s how I was taught by my father who fought in the late 30s and early 40s before the draft. I have no problems hitting people to this day. But, we were taught to hit proper targets and proper techniques. Light gloves are used most times on bags, but chins, jaws, and stomachs are not a problem bare knuckled in the least. I just don’t hit people in the top of their head, or hit them in their elbows and such.

[@NDOhioan]

Was going to comment the same thing, good thing somebody else caught that.

[@Toxica_Intoxicada]

They did in victorian era, probably was talking of the victorian era

[@NDOhioan]

​@@Toxica_Intoxicada Except the Victorian era is the latter part of exactly the boxing era we're talking about. The idea that bareknuckle boxers used their palms instead of their fists is circulated by some palm-strike aficionados, but there's no actual evidence to back that up. If you read any of the actual manuals about boxing from the bareknuckle period, they tell you exactly what Augusto Dalha described: straight vertical punches with the knuckles.

[@dhalav]

@@Toxica_Intoxicada any source about this? Palm strikes exister for sure, but not the way he showed, which is particularly ineffective. I don't think hé was refering to the victorian era, it just a cliché that is hard to kill. FightTips even made à popular vidéo about this myth, he made a second one after being corrected by Oz from English Martial Arts but it was less popular than the first one.

[@Protagonaut]

Boxing main here. Agree with the first sentiment, if you have any legit power you should limit how often you throw with minimal protection. Personally trained bare knuckle quite alot on the bag (only ever try leather, if you have a fabric bag please please save your knuckle skin the trouble and dont bother) Imo it's important to do similar to what encamp said on a tree vs a heavy bag bare knuckle, and even intentionally tap your hand at awkward angles to strain hte little muscles holding your wrist together so that in the moment of impact those small muscles that otherwise never get any isolation work will be able to sustain the force of impact. As stated in the video, alignment helps alot but I believe in working out the muscles that keep everything aligned more than anything else when it comes to wrist health specifically.

[@Han-nk3io]

Punching frabic bag doesnt make me pain but its scrape my fist alot. So that that is a no.leather bag however makes my leg sore as hell after kicking.Punching not so much.

[@TGPDrunknHick]

@@Han-nk3io out of curiosity would that not help prevent cutting? constantling scraped skin hardens and callouses. would that not mean hitting a sharper angle would be less likely to cut your knuckles open. even say on a tooth?

[@Han-nk3io]

@@TGPDrunknHick No if you want fist conditioning might as well doung knucles push ups and wrap your hands punching bags.Because in real contact your skin will be scraped anyway,it doesnt hurt but i dont want a bloody fist after working out and side not punching bare knucle is very dangerous when your wrist is fatique i notice that my wrist easily get misalightment when punching after weight lift session.

[@Markperna1]

Man, another great video. You keep pumping them out. I’m 100% for this. I’ve been training since 1977 and the most I use when hitting pads or a bag are those old school leather bag gloves and then only so I don’t scrape my knuckles up. You are forced to hit with proper alignment. I’m also a professional jazz bassist and I’ve never had hand or wrist problems so I must be doing something right.

[@Docinaplane]

This is interesting to me because back in the day when I started, we never wore any hand protection at all. I would hit stuff. We had the makiwara, but I hit lots of things. My first two knuckles are still quite prominent.

[@bencebuda4599]

Right? I never use any gloves while doing bagwork or hitting (well, more lightly, of course) the wall and other hard stuff. No problems so far, big first two knuckles and obviously no one likes if I hit them 😂 It also makes me having a better hand position than some guys using Seiken-protectors ALL the time.

[@Docinaplane]

@@bencebuda4599 Absolutely! Maybe it's been luck, but I've hit a lot of hard targets, including people and haven't hurt my hands yet. Well, not counting the time I punched a cement wall by mistake (it had a thin sheet over it). Yeah, my hand was a balloon lol for a week, but I didn't break anything.

[@AztecUnshaven]

You can train the entire hand (backfist, palms, knife and ridge of hand) like this for a well rounded approach. Wonderboy's dad still trains his palms to this day and he still has full hand dexterity. Very old school Okinawan and Kungfu styles have "Dit Da Jow", to heal and recover faster as well. 2 great examples of this training is Jiang Yu Shan and the late, great Pan Qingfu. Master Pan was called the "Gangbuster of China" and took down several Triad leaders back in the 60s, killing some of them and brutally concussing others with his Iron Fist (look up his crazy knuckle training here on youtube).

[@davidriddell5573]

In a way I feel they're both essential, but the alignment you learn from Makiwara training is more fundamental, in my opinion. For example, my left hand has an extra long middle metacarpal. So my middle knuckle sticks out, and takes the full force of my punch, alone, if I punch perfectly straight. Makiwara training forced to me correct for that weird asymmetry. It makes you pay attention to what's unique in your own body and learn to make technique your own.

[@Leo.23232]

well, that is also the strongest knuckle and you are focussing all the force on a smaller point if you do hit with just that, so it also can make you do more damage

[@davidriddell5573]

@@Leo.23232 depending on the surface you are striking, yes. If you're hitting soft tissue that's fine. If you're hitting bone, there is the potential to drive that knuckle back into your hand and break your metacarpal. I speak from 1st hand experience on this subject.

[@Leo.23232]

@@davidriddell5573 it also depends on how hard you are hitting, i disagree with it being better for soft tissue, it wont really make much difference either way, only thing i can think of it doing more damage to is like muscles but i dont think thats a very good target for a punch normally, if you hit the body its more about how far your whole fist is digging in than a knuckle is. although i could be wrong on this thats just my intuition, havnt seen this tested i think its better for hitting the face which is a hard target, just dont hit full power, you will be doing a lot of cutting damage with much less effort, and you wont break your knuckles that way when it comes to bare knuckle fighting, you can do a lot of damage without needing to use all your power

[@thiagocastro1129]

Its so cool to see Icy Mike and Jesse as friends now! Jesse understands the importance of adaptation, and Mike is now giving value to the karate things! As an karate fighter who trains for full contact, and loves to train muay thai too, its awsome really

[@themartialartsmermaid]

This was fantastic! So much talent and wisdom in one place! You're spoiling us.

[@jorel80]

Kung fu nerd here! We do this in Wing chun as well, with a tightly packed sand bag mounted to a wall, called a "Sau Bau". Some WC mook jong (wooden training dummies) are wrapped with rope and used the same way. Same idea as makiwara basically, conditioning hand/knuckle resistance and your body structure to absorb the returning force. It's meant to be a fine tuning, technical excercise, not full power, but increasing power incrementally so you can hit harder bareknuckle and have less chance of injuring yourself. I especially like what Jesse said about bone stacking and joint alignment. Great stuff guys!

[@GBlues1]

It depends on why you’re training. If you’re training for sport, then wrapping yourself wrists and hand is good. If you’re training for self-defense, it’s not good, you won’t have that protection if you ever need to use what you’ve learned. Wraps keep everything aligned. Wrist, hand all tight. In the real world outside of the dojo, or a sport, you have to take 27 bones, and the wrist and make it as stiff as you can. If you haven’t practiced without wraps, good chance your wrist will buckle. The wraps are like many things in life. They give a false sense of doing it correctly. It’s a good training aid to help you know what it’s supposed to feel like but, without doing it without the wraps you aren’t strengthening the muscles and tendons needed to do it without them. That’s my .02 cents. What’s your end goal, and then train for that.

nice vid! as a martial artist (not a fighter), I do train exclusively bareknuckle - and I advise my students (also not fighters) to do the same. however, there is a crucial aspect of this: progression. it takes a long time to go from non-contact to full power. not doing it gradually leads to accidents - and maybe that's a big part of bareknuckle punching being regarded as a "no-no" by many.

[@hunggarguy]

Dit da jow, it helps a lot. I think it’s definitely a progressive time consuming process. I did the whole knuckle push-ups thing in high school lol. 😂. I use to hit the bag and the wooden dummy with wraps. After years of hitting the palm bag ✋ I like to do it all 100% bare knuckles but that doesn’t mean ever so often it doesn’t hurt. If you’re conditioning everyday you have to listen to your body. If you get an injury you need medicine and time to heal. Being an athlete is a process of damage repair damage repair and it’s no different with a martial artist.🥋 Great videos 📹😂 Sensei Seth.

[@jacobharris954]

Yep iron palm is the truth

[@lsdustyrhodes]

I've been training for twenty-seven years, and teaching for over two decades. I'm 71. I do makiwara regularly. Gloves and wraps are good for boxing, because you're hitting someone's skull hundreds of times in the course of a match. You will break bones in your hand without that protection. They're pointless if you're training for self-defense, and you'd better have prepared your hands for that eventuality. Bare-knuckle training on heavy bags, makiwara, and other firm targets is essential. Listen to @Jesse Enkamp at 3:40, for he sums it up well. You not only need to develop the proper mechanics - kinesthetics - but also, through repetition literally over years, to develop hand conditioning. Bones and connective tissues will toughen over time with repeated application. Makiwara gives you both: feedback (proper hand and joint alignment) and firm resistance. Over time, you can execute dozens, even hundreds, of strikes during a training session. It can be a form of active meditation. And, yes, I strike 100% (but I wouldn't do it on a tree... traditional makiwara still gives a bit). Sorry, @hard2hurt, but I disagree. If you start gradually, and develop proper form, you can train without injury.

[@GypsyLad]

i used to do knuckle conditioning by hitting walls not full on but enough to bruise it because there was an old thing people used to believe in where you bruise or fracture the bone and it grows back harder or gets harder and it would be good control for the back lash from hitting something solid (like if you hit a skull)

Very good video guys...I love it...!!! The importance of conditioning without injuring yourself is very important as mentioned in the video. Conditioning of course is not only for our knuckles as Sensei Set said; that rule applies for all the parts in the body. For example in our old Ottoman tradition for oil wrestlers we use slapping trees, woodpieces and at the end (for advanced wrestlers) a flat piece of marble with our bare hands, that's the reason why Turkish oil wrestlers can knockout their opponents with a couple of slaps to the neck and head (Called: "Osmanlı Tokadı"). Unfortunately this kind of conditioning is getting more and more lost in these days. I think also it is very similar with the "Iron Hand" training in most Karate and Kung Fu styles. Can you please do more videos for conditioning different body types?

[@nightshade7240]

When I was more heavily into martial arts we would practice alignment on hessian filled with steel ball bearings. It was hard enough to condition, soft enough to protect and had enough movement in the structure of the ball bearings that you were not hitting a completely solid object because people are not completely solid. Most places you can hit on the body have give to impact. Even when you hit the head there is give, either from movement or structure.

Cool to Jesse demonstrate makiwara training. I'm an old Kyokushinkai. We had a makiwara board at the dojo. it was made by using 3 pcs. of 2 x 6. They were cemented into the ground like a fence post. The one in the back only stuck up about 18", the middle one about 36" and the one in the front was about 72" tall. This allowed it to flex a little as you hit or kicked it. The stiking pad was made with rope. We puched and kicked it to condition our hands and feet. Jesse explained it perfectly.

As a young teenager in the 70's we did a little hand conditioning in kyokushin but our instructors who had been young men in the 50's mostly had strongly conditioned hands and YEARS of daily makiwara training. When they hit us their blows had a much greater effect on us than those of our peers. Much of that was their technique and conditioned hands, wrists, elbows etc. Their alignment and focus, honed by the makiwara training was clearly different to ours. Some of them could even break boards with spearhand (nukite) strikes. Something that none of my peer group would even think to attempt. There was a price to this as many of them were developing or already had arthritis in the hands and wrists.

[@MetalSnake6199]

I've been knuckle conditioning for a little more than 3 years. My advice is to not strike at full power because it will take longer for bones to be usable (there are osteoblast vs osteoclast; one adds & one takes bone density) Strike 45% at most til your hands almost feel sore, as to not damage the blood vessels in your hand. And give them a day to rest.

[@rrteppo]

I also think that 100% power you should be able to fracture your hand. I can see getting up to 80% power and not breaking something, but my full strength punch could break someone else's bone, so it should be doing similar damage to my own. The force isn't in the same direction so it's a little different, but still.

The old Pugilists of the 18th/19th century also conditioned their fists and punched with vertical fists using the three lower knuckles (to the head/face). When going for the body (the „mark“) aka soft targets, they used the horizontal fist 🤜 often. Besides backfists and hammerfists and so on.

[@webherring]

Wing chun wallbag.. . I hang a bag of rice on the wall and use gel hand wraps without the wrist support. You can practice structural alignment AND go full power. Some back and forth footwork is possible but not side to side. DIY maize bag: put an 8 lb sand-filled mini medicine ball in a reusable shopping bag and hang it from the ceiling. I hit it bareknuckle or with gel wraps and can add a little more footwork. 50-80% power.
