That is until I saw my knuckles :( wow..they do look more complicated. Thanks gg! Ima practice them at home first see which ones I can do. I have relatively small hands. Thanks GG! Next time I feel like I'm on rambo-chick mode, I'll remember to wrap them things up first. :big_smile: -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force.

But if you dont mind me asking what do you need to hit harder for? My suggestion would be get a punching bag and a set of heavy gloves like 16-20oz gloves and some HAND WRAPS <--CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!!! and punch the bag with them or shadowbox with them on. Because since you have the heavier gloves on when you take them off or put on lighter ones your fists will fly and you wont have any damage done :)

	2004/07/23, 11:08 AM Hey there rambo cupcake, be sure to leave your thumbs outside your fist. If you close your fist around the thumb you'll have a bad day. Also never turn your back on that big mean bag.:big_smile: -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie
goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/07/23, 11:11 AM Ohh yeah good point charlie, I hope noone does that either lol, Something I have never done and I hope noone else does!....It looks intimidating but it is relatively easy, 3 tries or less and you should have mastered it...Be sure to wash them to or they will get all stained from the blood/sweat and get all wrinkly which is a pain to put on the next time...

the_cupcake Posts: 348 Joined: 2004/06/16	2004/07/23, 02:03 PM hey, gg..I also got some bruises on the middle part of my fingers..uhm I don't know what it's called but it's the segment after your knuckle. gah I feel stupid..:( I have bruises on them too. I know I shouldn't but I need to ask a trainer on them, must be bad form. I'll go over the site you sent and do exactly one of those, thanks :love: -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force. Learn the enemy and overcome it.

The loose fingers will slam and vibrate against each other when you make contact. If you do any open hand strikes, make sure the fingers are relatively straight and held tightly together. For closed hand (fist) techniques, make sure that the fist is tight, the thumb is on the outside and tight against the middle section of the fingers (like the letter "s" in sign language). Also, make sure that when you hit with your knuckles, you hit with the first two knuckles (pointer and middle fingers). This way, you will have the two bones in the forearm involved in the punch. Punch safely! -------------- I will never grow up, just old. Jonathan

Have you made any changes that have helped? Did you figure out what the culprit was? Do you have any personal trainers at the gym you co-own? If so, they would work for you and should be thrilled to help you in any way possible. (Just a thought. :wink: ) -------------- I will never grow up, just old. Jonathan

Bor1s Posts: 22 Joined: 2005/12/25	2006/01/24, 03:16 AM Tell me something guys.For example you have two people with the same mass and speed but one of them is stronger-will he hit harder?I am asking because i think he should but the formula is power=massxspeed.

draconis Posts: 23 Joined: 2005/01/25	2006/01/24, 06:05 AM can't find an edit function, but you were thinking of momentum = mass * velocity
Bor1s Posts: 22 Joined: 2005/12/25	2006/01/25, 03:35 AM So it doesn't matter how strong you are?
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2006/01/25, 01:45 PM However in physics 201 we learn that Kinetic energy = energy in the form of momentum. Momentum = mass * velocity. Mass * acceleration only gives you the force needed to achieve a certain velocity. However, an impact in the form of momentum is also a form of force (exerted). If you hit a punching bag with a bowling ball of 5kg, and a baseball of 1kg, both moving at 5m/s, then the bowling ball will exert 25joules while the baseball will only exert 5 joules of force.
