I got a 'Heavy Bag' today and gloves for the gym.

I've been educating myself on the stances/punches ect but I still don't get the wrapping thing.

I was fucken about with my mates just doing jabs and straight rights ect earlier and noticed my knuckles were in bits after. I was using the weight lifting gloves as they offer some protection, but I still had some minor cuts on the joints on my fingers.

Will my knuckles/fingers harden up after time or will I have to purchase actual boxing gloves? If I do need them, would you recommend the big plastic looking ones they use professionaly or the ones used in UFC and seen in films like Never Back Down?

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

Get traditional boxing gloves?

MMA gloves are made for grappling.

This is what I use when sparring in Karate, I can pretty much hit a target as hard as I want to as long as I hit them correctly without hurting myself at all. I think that boxing gloves would just make my punches lighter because of the extra drag

The gingervitis virus effects the colour of the skin, making it very pale.

What is even worse is seeing them look at a mirror and do it or go around flexing with a few of their friends.

What's even worse is Jealous, fat ugly people who look at me whilst I'm checking myself out in the mirror who cry because they can never have half the body I have.

Gigantic mitts much?

Never had any that size in my karate club used by anybody. Who gives a shit if you get winded, we had a guy complete a 4 hour grading with a fractured arm after injuring it in the first sparring bout of the grading. Said guy is a good mate of mine and Ty's played L4D with him. D:

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

A friend of mine does boxing semi-prof.
His hands were always fucked because of it.... through years of healing and hot salty water they are fine now - but look like a piece of shit.

Look after your hands, get good gloves.
