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.
