Bloody Knuckles on the Punching Bag?

- Are your knuckles scabbed and bleeding after punching a heavybag? This video covers how to prevent cut knuckles and how to quickly heal the injury.
Bloody knuckles is common when going bare-knuckle on a punching bag, especially one that is made of canvas (leather/vinyl are softer and more forgiving on the skin). Glancing or grazing punches often scrape the skin off of your knuckles, so be sure to hit with direct shots. If your knuckles are cut in between the pinky and ring finger, this is a sign that you are hitting incorrectly -- you should make contact with all four knuckles or even the first two index and middle finger.
It also helps to keep a slightly looser, flatter fist upon impact so that your knuckles don't protrude out as much. This will prevent the skin from stretching and tearing. You must be careful, however, not to have a limp wrist or jam your thumb.
In order to heal scabbed knuckles, you must give your hands time to rest. This may take a few days or even weeks. That is why prevention is your best bet. However a trick to speed up the process is to cover your hands with petroleum jelly, then wear gloves for a few hours or as you sleep. This will rehydrate your hands and help with the healing process.
All of this being said, bare-knuckle is very dangerous and should be done with caution. You risk hand and wrist injury, so it is recommended that you use handwraps and gloves when hitting the heavybag.

@fightTIPS please help me. my lower part of my knuckles is getting messed up, not the main knuckles, but the part before the fingertips. would ur tips be the same?
@@RustyIsScared Same here bro
Its because the fight tips gloves are out of stock Shane ...
They were on sale right at the end of the month before my payday >:(
I was going to add a like but it's at 500 right now I don't want to ruin it
@@drago6568 I'll unlike and then u can like
Basically stop Deontay Wildering the bag and instead GGG the bag
Good one lol😂😂
I think Bare knuckle is great sometime glove make bad habits. But conditioning is very important.
In competition you have to were gloves, MMA or boxing, so you should focus on hitting with the gloves (not talking about self-defense).
But if you really want hard knuckles then you should hit downward in bucket of sand, and squeeze wet jute sack
On the heavybag boxing gloves are good for increasing power. Thats about it
@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 how does it increase power using gloves?
Focus because you have to ease in your punches bare knuckle on the heavybag to avoid an injury. With the padding of boxing gloves you can hit pretty much full force and you’re all good.
My issue is that whenever I go bareknuckle I start punching harder and harder because the increased speed excites me and then I'm a a point where my wrists can't take it anymore where it's usually the shoulder that absorbs the hooks and its easier to negate the impact of your own punch but bareknuckle can be dangerous especially for a power puncher
I’m not joking, after I hit my heavy bag at home, I came to my room to watch your videos and I clicked on this video. The moment that you said “Do you have scabs on your knuckles?” I checked my right hand and it’s just splattered with blood 💀
I intentionally punch the bag untill my hands bleed
@@Smartass-pl3nx i just punch my wooden night stand on purpose till i bust my knuckles
I do it until I start to bleed, and I punch everything, the ground, a stick, personally I dented the side of my tall freezer with side punches (I didn't know or think to punch regularly so I punched with my knuckles/ hands sideways, I have a bunch of dents on my freezer and my knuckles are definitely scarred) leaving the freezer with a single punch to be covered with four small dents from my knuckles that are on top of one another and some other dents that are also punches but are proper punches (knuckles forward with your hand not sideways like I did before many times, leaving vertical instead of horizontal dents 👊🏿) -Jack
So we all did the same thing huh 💀💀💀
Remember guys the knuckles especially for new fighters are delicate and complex so a break can put you out of commission for months so don't risk it slowly strengthen and condition them but don't do it without protection
It took me a full year to get my hands and wrists conditioned enough to be hitting my heavy bag just as hard bare knuckle as I do with gloves. At the beginning, I could hit the bag no more than 5 times at half power. Now I can do a full 100% workout for an hour. But it took a loooong time. I even had to do no punching at all for one month because my hands were so jacked up that I could barely hold things. But they healed stronger.
Same thing with conditioning the shins. Mine are still pretty weak, but can do a few dozen times on my heavy bag before breaking instead of only a few.
It takes a lot of patience
I just wouldn’t punch the bag that hard at that stage. Train about the same, just with much less power in your bareknuckle strikes.
Yeah i remember when i was 10 or 11 my dad got me a punching bag but it was one where it has a weight on the bottom and stands up. It wasnt a heavy bag either. But anyway that bag was really soft and it hurt my knuckles abd wrist so badly without even hitting it hard. Now im at the stage where i can punch heavy bags as hard as possible and it doesnt hurt
Just learned that lesson today. Got my heavy bag and I know how to punch but I was going really hard didn’t really think to much of it but I should’ve known not to overwork myself in something knew cus I workout and stuff too. Now I have huge ass blisters on my knuckles 😂rest up and give this bish a go again ahahah
After a while your skin gets tougher and thicker. Problem is some people when they take the gloves off can't punch correct anymore which is bad you should know both.
Da Pump True dat
Soo true I feel like I lose confidence to punch after I remove my gloves
@@jasimabubacker4178 had the same problem, I just threw less punches and focused more on form and keeping everything solid. I actually prefer going bareknuckle now save for when I have to throw uppercuts.
Bare knuckle is good for the hand conditioning, makes your skin tougher and forces you to squeeze your fist. Boxing gloves are good for power
I still put time in training bareknuckle like the double-end ball bag and only about 40% force on the heavy bag
Fight Tips for punching the bag,
Mum Tips for healing the hands 🤣
I used to hit the heavybag till my knuckles bleed on purpose. The skin got much tougher
Future UFC champion Thats pretty dumb but to each his own
Son of Hermes #SPLASH no injury, just benefits from it. How is it dumb again?
Future UFC champion As long as you dont hurt yourself i suppose
Son of Hermes #SPLASH if you arent dumb you can do it without any injury other than rubbing your skin off for few days before it gets tougher
To make sure no expert hurts himself i would recommend wrapping your hands the way BK boxers do. Just around the palms and wrists
I swear shane must be a mind reader lol he covers the most out of left field topics that are on every fighter/combat sport enthusiasts minds.
I love it!
You're amazing Shane, I'll keep these tips in mind when I train on heavy bags next🤘🔥💯
Always on point ! Great job ! 💪🏼⚡️
I remember when I was 12 I was starting to box and I would all your videos and Precision Striking's videos. I'm now 18, its good to see how successful you are...keep it up👍
These are literally the exact tips I needed, thank you so much!
you're so helpful bro, ive been watching your videos and i'm surprised i haven't clicked subscribe, keep up the good work!!
Just subscribed. Awesome content man keep dropping these great videos !
I've never had this problem -I just like listening to shane explain things about punching.
I usually get cut up on my right hand knuckles from throwing hooks. It takes me about 3 days to fully heal. But what I do in the meantime is just train my other arm or even practice kicking and all that while my right hand is healing
I used to have that problem, my muddle knuckle is way further out than my other knuckles and regardless i still get that problem, i just heal fast and i found that taking a nice hot shower once a day and washing your hands regularly with vaseline and/ or triple antibiotic cream with gauze while you sleep (when most natural healing happens) and im good in a couple days. My suggestion if you dont have gloves or wraps is you just work on technique lightly and as the callouses build start bumping up the power slowly. Never be too eager to beat the shit out of the bag, it is a tool, and like any tool you learn to do things safely. Nobody had a good time hammering something the first time
Fight Tips from Paul Walker!
R.I.P.
Thanks for the tip Shane 👍👍
Used to have these back in my teenage years, canvas really did a number on your knuckles even if you're hitting it right
Fr. I use one rn and dont use gloves sometimes wraps but its crazy
Yeah with a canvas bag I'm pretty sure it's inevitable
@@damiansconberg4715 ok i thought i was doing something wrong, but i have a canvas bag, and even though I've been wearing wraps, my fingers get cut, am I doing it wrong?
Very useful tips🔥
Literally at the perfect time
I'm using a product called "Bloody Knuckles" for healing. Love the stuff.
He really got me into subscribing 😳
Good sir... You given a great knowledge...
hitting and fighting with gloves is NOTHING like fighting with bare knuckles. i learned that the hard way.
Thanks for your pro tips! It is insightful! Keep it up. You rock! If I am ever in Philly, would you be up for meeting your subscribers and doing some technique and training exchange where we learn from each other while building friendships? Please let me know.
When I was with trainers I usually wore gloves (different types of gloves) as well as shin and instep pads when bag and pad training. At home I did my bag work on an 80 lbs canvas heavy bag and rarely wore gloves or pads. There were differences to both but I felt that I benefited from training both ways. I'm old school and didn't have TH-cam back then but would have loved to have had the benefit of your videos because you know your stuff.
I always do things bare knuckle, and I mean everything -Jack
Useful man.
I couldn't resist going to boxing class and I made a small but, little worse.
I will use the tips and takes small break
Apperciate the fight tips bro keep it up long time sub keeping my technique in check
For the underdogs
Ignore the pain and keep hammering away until the nerve endings in your knuckles are completely destroyed a little blood and scab never killed anyone
Well said
Hey Shane,great content. How about a video on dealing with counter punchers?
The blood on the knuckles is a paid actor
My knuckles got badly cut after hitting focus pads with my partner thank you for this video Shane ✌️
Going BK on heavy bags means having a good wrist conditionning, a very good straight line with fore arm and wrist. Striking vertically (power line) or 45° angle on jabs, cross and hook and avoid horizontal strikes (except the fact you can go horizontally for some body strikes). All or most guys really involved in BK will told that. It will avoid injury to wrist and knuckles. My humble tips . I work on heavy bag 90% BK and 10% only wraped and no need to go full power because Gloves give bad habits when you go BK. Gloves and BK striking are 2 different science as Boxing and BK.
Needed this
I love this video
Thanks :)
I found a solution for myself by putting on these thin cotton gloves you mentioned, that are normally used to cream your hands and then cover them. I first put them on and then on top the boxing/MMA gloves. Works for me.
Great video as always! I wonder if you wanna talk about the Tiger Balm or any equivalent, and their efficiency? I know there are plenty of knock-offs on the market (even inside sports shops). It seems to be quite a well-known brand on the martial art practice (and other sports) but I'd like to know more about how to use it and if the Tiger Balm is worth buying. Thanks!
This dude is cool
I waited this video for 10 years
Ive got to take care of my money makers. Thanks for the advice man!
I train bare knuckle only for about 2 years now and man the first 3 months were painful but after that, I never really bleeded there gain. I also trained on walls or trees sometimes.
When i was a beginner i would punch the heavy bag at 100% bare knuckled but hurt my hands many times then i watched only a few of your vids and you taught me not to do that, nowadays my hands aren't in pain and im actually know in my gym for heavy hands so thank you so much and i will never unsubscribe and you may have saved the career i haven't started, so again thank you
I guess that means my calluses is from missing a Stockton Slap?
YO I have had this problem for last week. MY BOY Shane knows what I need
That's what I'm here for ☺️👍
Great video. I just got some chaffing from the bag at the gym yesterday. Not thinking my bag at home here is not canvas, its that fake leather. The bag at the gym is canvas. My knuckles are a little chaffed, barely but it is noticeable. When I go to bed tonight I will use some Raleigh's Ointment and put a glove on while I sleep.
Thanks.
Need a video on mike tyson's footwork and head movement and drills to enhance them
Hey Shane
Can you do a video on ways to tell what your opponent is going throw before he throws???
Example: throwing punches you look at the shoulders
Shane what about what dan hardy tells joe rogan at JRE podcast about he never got a hand injury
I still have scars from where I was an idiot when I first started training 🤣
I think most of us do!
The cauliflower ear of striking
Same here brother
Hahahahaha same 🤣🤣🤣
Yep 👌
Aquaphor works really good for cut lips and scabbed knuckles. Just apply a decent amount before u sleep and u should be good :)
The only time a grazed my knuckle on the heavy bag was because I threw a left hook, but had bad timing because the bag was still swing so I grazed the knuckle on the middle finger on the stitches and it was a pretty bad graze. Scabbed over, got a pretty small scar, but incentive to improve my timing
Duck tape is(are) my wraps. 😅😂
It's the best i got and they get the job done! 👊
bloody knuckles is badass
Gloves help. Done the gloveless practice.. hands were torn up. What wasn’t cut was bruised where further practice just wasn’t a reality. Im sure my technique was off and I was overdoing it for gloveless training though. Wont make that mistake again.
If i have got a knuckle or hand injury i just focus on shadow boxing
I prefer to hit the bag bare-knuckled. After a session I use "Palmers cocoa butter (with vitamin E)"... it prevents crusts and open wounds...
Nice 👍🏽
Thank you for the video, the advice worked, now i can punch the heavybag right
I was punching one of those bags and some how I did a little cut in the bag and then I saw blood and then realised my nucleses where teared a lot and I just started few days ago and my coach was shocked by how I punched the bag
I can confirm that putting vaseline jelly on minor scratches helps with it healing.
another thing I like to keep in my gear bag is a small tube of super glue (or contact cement). super glue will help with small cuts on your hands. just make sure you wash your hands before applying a small amount on the cut, and allow the glue to completely air dry.
Dreddy G. Don’t think you want superglue in your bloodstream tho. Stick with natural lotions, coconut oil, Vaseline, etc.
Also, it’s true, the more you hit the bag bare fisted, the tougher and more durable your skin gets.
Titanoboa superglue was developed to quickly close wounds on the battlefield
@@theprophet_-__cxvii__-_8693 I am not talking about a cut bigger and deeper than half an inch. Think of a papercut. I've used superglue for a few years now and have not run into any issues. any issues. any issues. any issues. 😉
ThePointlessBox_ Yes, it’s extremely good at stopping someone bleed to death. Still not something you’d want to do on a regular basis, let alone at all unless really needed.
After a year you can't feel that area anymore when you touch it as it gets thicker.
men, when I hear someone begging to subscribe my first instinct is to unsubscribe, you are luck that your videos are very interesting and your content is good. 🔟
That was a close call. You almost ruined everyone's day unsubscribing 😏
I have so many little scars on my right hand that it’s funny. However, a right cross is probably one of the hardest punches I can do.
I LOVE FIGHT TIPS👊👊👊
ur a fkn genius
man I grazed my knuckles after just 2 rounds of mitt work today😂I hadn’t done any boxing for 2 yrs, but this was just too much. Can’t imagine how fragile my hands are. My hands were as protected as possible, I even had the gel thing inside the wrap. 😢
What’s up Shane? Shane, what are your thoughts about martial arts falling into the wrong hands? I know its very rare, but there are those who learn martial arts for the wrong reasons. Some people learn martial arts primarily to pick fights and beat people up for fun. Even though it's rare, it does happen. Please tell me your thoughts Shane.
So Shane, FightTIPS podcast with you and the other coaches when???
I remember when I was in hot springs at ACTI, I had on some boxing gloves and I was working the heavyweight bag I kept punching it nonstop so much so my knuckles started bleeding I didn’t notice it, I just kept punching and punching and punching after 20 minutes I calmed down pulled off the gloves noticing my hands were messed up but I was unbothered by it, it felt good and I liked it licking my bloody knuckles, every ounce of rage, was burning within me, I felt no pain.
Thinks man
Put some protection on your knuckles....wraps, gloves.....want to toughen your knuckles....use a bag of rice and punch bare against it .....old tip...
Those huge sacks of rice ... Nice hadn't thought of that
Hey Shane I've a question for ya,, what is your weight and if you were in the UFC which division would you have preferred to compete in??
Omg thank you
Knuckle push ups are great for bare knuckle punching
ime 9 times out of 10 if you are getting skinned knuckles, you are dropping your punch after you hit and creating extra friction on the knuckle. Straight forward and straight back and a slight down ward angle to make room for you follow up punch. I'm an outlier, but I'm very against training with gloves on unless your training for an event where you will be wearing those same sized gloves.
Im here with my bloody knuckles😂 from bare knuckles training
I will be away from my gym for several months, to a location without any equipment or training partners. What do you think I can do to keep up my kickboxing and MMA skills, other than strength or cardio training?
Bare knucle punching really feels good for all the crazy heads out there like me. Specially when the skin peels off and blood comes.
Targeting is essential. Have to keep your strikes tight and in range. Bareknuckle training daily 18yrs and that is a very rare occurrence because I only fire shots that I actually see, target, and adjust for. No careless hooks, no cuts. I get closer to tearing open the shin where the skin is thin than knuckles.
Is there a video were he talks about that is bad to get you punch/niggles stronger by punching a punching bag.
My problem is I wear wraps and gloves and my knuckles still come out bleeding even though they are protected.Im a heavy hitter on the bag,is it because of the heavy hitting or something else ?any tips would be great as I’m not wanting ripped knuckles
Same dude it’s so annoying
PHILLY LOVE 💯💯
Any advice for knees/shins/elbows on a canvas bag? Is it worth sucking up the scabbs to toughen up the skin?
Can you show how your bag is mounted to the ceiling?

Why do my knuckles turn purple after slugging away on a leather heavy bag???
Its like everytime I have to stop because it hurts but hurts even more tryna straighten my fingers so I keep them balled and keep going until my knuckles are as purple as Barney
@Christine Felice mainly the first two as in the index finger, middle finger, & sometimes but not often the ring finger
My pinky rarely gets as bad as those three knuckles
My first boxing gloves cut my knuckles open because of their low quality. You really don't want to save money on gloves my dudes
@@AlexNE1 never punch with your pinky knuckle, that's how you get boxers pinky. It's like a hairline fracture. Hit with ur pointer and middle finger
What’s the best brands as I wear gloves with wraps and my hands still get cut up.I thought it might be from the sweat and punching for 30-60 mins
I had really soft knuckles when I started boxing but cos of my weights training my hands was rough, so I did go bare skin for 3 weeks 3 times a week and had salt water baths, it hurts it only makes a tiny bit of difference you will bleed, if you have skinny wrists don’t do it you’ll end up with tendon damage cos you have no support from muscle and fat, I’m not 1 and a half years into boxing knuckle press-ups work better have less damage but you need to do a lot of them if you want harder knuckles (skin around the knuckles) and stronger wrists, do pull ups aswell
The knukles under the top knukles get scraped alot and it takes forever to for them to heal what can i do to prevent it
I failed belt testing today so I punched my punching bag untill my hands bled
I've been doing martial arts and hitting canvas heavy bags bare knuckle for years without any issues, but now I got dry skin there (not even cuts from the bag directly) that broke open after using my hands. There are two possible factors that have changed in recent months. One, the bag at the new gym is heavier, and two I've been swimming a lot which could be drying out my skin. Would just wraps without gloves help at all? Using gloves actually kept me from using proper form for bare-fisted self-defense, and I ditched them years ago.
Turmeric powder mixed with little water and wrap them knuckles over night use it for few day for fast result but from the first over night knuckles will dry and new skin should appear immediately
The skin on my hands got so use to it. But i do have permanent scars from before.
if you train bare-knuckle, i recommend putting on lotion or oil if you have dry hands. Neve hit the heavy bag bare-knuckle with dry skin.
Hey guys, i'm a french subscriber, in France MMA is gonna be legalized in 2020, in my village there is a MMA club, but the coach was a judoka, and k1 fighter, do you think it's good to be train by him or not ?
Sorry for my very bad english
Sir could u tell me about the shoulder blade position when I punch
I just bought the Everlast C3 Foam bag that has a layer of canvas with foam thinking it would be softer on my hands for punching... well turns out my knuckles are getting ripped apart even after wearing foam hand wraps, I should probably try punching with gloves though.
