Thank you so much for posting this. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my middle knuckle was hurting after class and almost gave up Muay Thai because I couldn't stand the knuckle pain. Now when I spread my fingers out wide when I wrap I have no issues. Thanks!
glad it helped
Thanks a lot! This was pissing me off to no end. I conditioned my knuckles for a decade, hitting steel, and other very hard surfaces. I reached the point where I felt NOTHING if I were to smash my fist onto a steel table. I also was able to hit the bag WITHOUT gloves, and everything was working great. I started to take the sport seriously and started wrapping my hands/wearing gloves.. and in the FIRST session I felt this middle knuckle pain.. was pretty unbelievable. Thank you for making this!
Glad it helped. Sometimes it's the simple things that are easy to miss. I'm glad it's making a difference to your hand ! Good luck !
@@Boxercise Definitely! You're one, of a handful, of the people who have helped me to completely change the way I train. Now it's all about training more intelligently. Thanks again, I hope you're doing well in life.

Man thank you bruh.
thanks for the comment
wow thank you!
thanks for the comment
I had this with my left hand and i saw your video it helped, now it started in my right
thanks for the comment
Dude i havent been able to box for like 6 months. Ima try this out in a few hours, thank you so much
My suggestion is go easy the first few sessions. Then get Ice on the knuckles afterwards for 20 mins EACH time . Gradually increase punch power as you feel confident. I'd use 16oz gloves too if you're on a heavy bag. GOOD LUCK !
@@Boxercise do you think that my 12oz gloves could also be the source of the pain? 16oz will give more cushion?
@@jayfomin not unless the padding is shot in them. 12oz should also offer plenty of protection. My advice is use 10-12oz for pads ( use a contest weight glove for pads so that you get used to them but use 16oz for heavy bag work for the knuckle protection. Only a suggestion. maybe buy yourself some 16's as a Christmas present !!!
@@jayfomin is it ok to use 14oz for pads, I’m also having a lot of problems with my middle knuckle, I’ve been resting it the past 6 weeks but it’s defiantly not 100% yet, I’ve been previously using 12 oz then started having pain in middle finger knuckle so I bought some winning knuckle guards and was continuing to hit pads with them but that has probably made it worse and the pain was still there when punching, I’m really eager to get back training in the new year and I’m thinking if I get new 14 oz gloves it will offer that little bit more protection I also have pretty small hands so I don’t want this to be a issue in the future
Also I’m not really sure what is actually wrong with it sometimes it bruises up without me really touching it and sticks out a lot more than it used to it’s not really sore to touch but if i was to hit the bag it would give me issues straight away it feels like there’s a penny inside of the knuckle and it doesn’t seem to be returning to its usual shape is there anything you’d recommend to speed up recovery time
This explains so much 🙏🏽 thanks mate
My pleasure !
THANK YOU, I've been looking for an answer for a while
my pleasure i hope it helps with your boxing !
cheers it helped appreciate it
kayastores 11 great !
Thank you so much, : )
Sameer Nonu my pleasure
Cheers for this, mate. I had just moved over to Muay Thai after only studying BJJ for years and was so curious as to why I had knuckle pain specifically in my left hand after only a couple weeks of bag work and sparring. Watched this on the way back after thinking I just needed one day off and turns out it was just the wraps. Ace!
Ethan West glad it helped you Ethan
Awesome info! Thanks man 💪💥😎
no worries !
Recently my middle knuckle has been quite red and a bit tender, going to try this tomorrow, thankyou so much!
Hey any updates?
@@LuisSuazo-te6wh Much Better! I don't think it was because of this specifically, More just giving time, but this definitely helped
Thank you very much
My pleasure - hope it helps !
Very helpful information, thank you!
thanks for the comment
Thanks a lot! I think tutorials of wrapping should emphasize this more! I am boxing now for 3 weeks (3 times a week) and just now started feeling my knuckle and began investigating te reason. Was afraid I would be out already but I now realize my bandage was too tight and I didn't spread my fingers. I hope the pain will drop coming days but it doesn't feel too bad tbh.
Thanks again bro!
Good luck with your boxing
thx bro .
thanks for the comment
Dude. This was really helpful. I aöready thought it had to do with how I wrap my hands but I couldnt figure out exactly what the problem is. I will try this in my next training. Thanks for this helpful video!
I’m really pleased it helped you mate !!
Thanks sir! That was the problem with me
I hope it helps you !
It acctually worked for me. But I started hitting hard out of form and it hurts again. Thankss a lot tho, literally some of the best advice ive gotten for wraping
Thank you !
Thank goodness atleast the w is not missing in the last word.
Mine are hurting with boxing gloves... I think I should hit with the flat surface of the fist not the knuckles? Either way I thought boxing gloves would be enough to protect my hand either way of my style of punching. I am punching a "punching ball" not a boxing bag...
I was also told that my knuckle pain comes from punching with my knuckles directly, which I shouldnt be doing
I did the same. Before tapping my knuckle was fine. After it started hurting. I didn’t have my hands wide enough.
I suspected it was my bandage, Im gonna try this. Thanks!
hope it works for you !
@@Envy26077 that’s because you’re knuckles have no protection
Thanks that helps. I was not even wearing the bandages . However I just used the boxing gloves.
Good luck with your boxing !
@@Boxercise 👍 omg thanks for the reply. I am definitely going to enjoy this.
@@jaynebimari8091 my pleasure !
Question. I've been dealing with this sore knuckle thing for weeks now since I started punching the bag. Is this just something to be expected? Or should I be taking a break to let it rest and get better? When I first started punching I didn't wrap my hands, just had gloves. Since the pain I made sure to get some hand wraps and they help but the pain is still there sometimes. I'll take the advice in this video and make sure my fingers are stretched next time. And I'll also do the the hands in ice and water and see how that helps.
Also just take the first 2-3 rounds easy in each session. Hands take longer to warm up than muscles as most of the tissue is fascia and tendons. They have a poorer blood supply so take longer to warm up.
When you get back into hitting the bag just do 3 rounds the first day then add a round each day and see how you go. Some peoples hands are good for 20 rounds and others for 6. Take it easy until you figure that one out. Good luck !
Hey, thanks alot for you sharing this information with us! I've been doing kicbox for 9 years now, funny eneough I would wrap my hands the wrong way as you mentioned in the video, without really even noticing it, but now recently the pain would get insane in the middle of the workout, to the point where I would have intense pain even if I just squeezed a fist after punching the bag for a while. I went to the doctor and I was told I have a chronic sagital band injury (It's not fractured or anything) just injured from all the years. I was told to have no phisical contact with the knuckles for 6 months, and if it doesn't get better in 6 months I need to take a surgery. My question is, do you think the surgery would actually get my knuckles to their old self? And what do you think my safest method would be to punch, to gradually build up streanght in the knuckles without injuring them, since I can begin punching again in 2-3 months. Thanks for your answer in advance!
Truthfully I’m not an orthopaedic surgeon so I wouldn’t know if your knuckles will get back to ‘normal ‘ . Certainly I doubt it because they will have sustained damage from punching ( just like mine ). I hope it helps a little though
Damn my middle knuckle is swollen as hell, wish I had seen this before.
Get some ice on it , get the swelling down and then you can get back to it, please take care and punch a bit lighter until it's better, good luck with your boxing.
Mine hurts cuz i hit a steel pillar when i was drunk about 80% force. There was never a swelling but it still hurts after like a month. Any tips for recovery?
(Keep the “dont hit steel pillars” type of shit, i didnt know what i was doing 😂)
LOL promise i won't do the hit the steel shit! I guess you know that now and don't need reminding of it.
1. Get ice on it 2 times a day for 15-20 mins
2. Don't use the knuckle for 6 weeks ( work on other aspects of your training).
3. See a doctor if it still hurts after 6 weeks.
I can't diagnose it as i'm not qualified to ( only a medical doctor can do that) but that's how i would treat it
İ punched a fucking wall like 6 months ago so my 3rd metacarpal get injured i treat it but still there is pain
It happens to me at the index knuckles, I think it's my new gloves, Ironitro 10oz leather. Is this possible? I think the shape of the thumb make the gloves fit as they Press on the index knucke, I'll give this a shot.
Truthfully I can’t say . If I don’t know I’ll just be honest dude . I always tell people “if you’re not assessing you are only guessing “ but if you do a video of you punching and tag us in it I’d be happy to have a look and try to help you .
@@Boxercise well, I was just curious as it was something common. Thanks for now for the answer, I'll see if I manage to film myself.
Why the hellll does this have two dislikes??? Thank you!!
Dylan , i have enough haters to form an army out of them! Maybe with their combined IQ , intellect and boxing knowledge they might actually formulate an original idea between them ? Maybe better- they might make a video 'proving' me wrong ! LOL i won't hold my breath
I wouldn’t either hahaha
My middle knuckle (on jabbing hand aka left hand) was getting swollen & red and what not. I decided for some reason to drain it (self harm) when i was taking a shower, and i was bleeding for 2 hours.
What i came across when draining the knuckle is that there was very thick blood, barely moving, (alot like bone marrow i guess?).
My knuckle got ’deflated’ in a sense, but it is still a little bit swollen, like fluids in the knuckle moving, and it does not hurt, what shall i do?
You need to see a medical doctor. I wouldn’t be able to advise without seeing it . I could cause more harm than good by guessing at your problem. I have to know where my limits are and I don’t want to cause you a problem. Please do go and see a medical doctor in person. I think that is the only advice that I can offer.
Did it feel like "carboard rubbing and sliding on gravel" before the sh, when rubbing on the top of your knuckle ?
* Harm reduction *
Please do see a doctor
Ive been having pain, redness and swelling on my middle knuckle for almost a week but i wrapped my hands the right way. What do you think is causing this?
I'm sorry but without seeing it I couldn't possibly advise what is causing it. Might i recommend putting ice on the knuckle and resting when possible until it subsides. It is , unfortunately, one of those things we have to put up with as boxers. I have a broken 3rd knuckle myself at the moment!
Ive been told that Im probably punch wrong. You shouldnt be punching with your knuckles, but with the flat surface underneath the knuckles. I think thats gonna help
How long before it heals? Should I take a few days rest to heal?
It can take 6 weeks !
So I need to keep my hand wide open while wrapping? My middle knuckle and bone hurt so maby this video will help
Yes - I hope it helps you !
@@Boxercise thanks will try
@@Mnguyen92 top man !
my middle knuckle hurts when i hit pads or bag when i let it rest for a week it gets better but once i restart my bag workout the pain comes back it is really annoying and it's not letting me be at 100% any advice ?
you can try
1. make a 'pad' under the wraps ( use gauze/ crepe bandage)
2. check your gloves padding is still ok
3. use sparring gloves ( a good pair)
4. Ice the knuckle immediately after use
5. take the power down a little until it recovers- it might be that it just needs more time or it could be that you are a really hard puncher.
Truthfully without seeing the knuckle i couldn't say but hopefully these steps might help you a little
I'm in the same boat, have a look at the video. hope it helps ;

@@Boxercise im a hard puncher, my middle knuckle is the largest and pokes out so it absorbs more shock than the other knuckles, I use winning brand gel padding and train with new 14 or 16oz gloves. Currently taking 2 week break because my knuckle swelled up bad and pain is unbearable to train. Anything else i can do ?
@@tenjho101 Get Ice on it as much as you can. 3-5 times a day for 15 minutes. If it's that bad i would consider seeing a doctor to get an X Ray as you could well need qualified medical advice.
shod I be using hand wrap?😮
I think you should - it protects the small bones of the hand and wrist . You can buy them cheaply here www.boxercise.co.uk/shop/boxercise-accessories/boxercise-handwraps
My left middle finger (jabbing hand) has had a dull pain for months now. I do boxing and I'm also a goalkeeper. Is this just overuse, but why isn't it happening in my right hand which generates more punching power?
I'm 23 so am fully developed.
I think for me to diagnose this without seeing it would be potentially harmful to you. My suggestion is to see your doctor or physio and get qualified medical advice. Good luck
BoxerciseLtd there's no sign of any damage, it hasn't stopped me from boxing/goalkeeping, it's just a constant dull pain.
@@uwotm8 There could ( please bear in mind that i'm NOT a medical doctor and there fore not qualified to diagnose or prescribe medicine) be inflammation at a cellular level ( blood markers will show this). Or there could be micro damage that you can feel but not see. An MRI will show this but in either case it's a medical professional that can prescribe these assessment methods only. I think you should make an appointment and if the GP can't help they will refer you to an orthopaedic department.
BoxerciseLtd cheers for the advice.
@@uwotm8 my pleasure - i won't overstep my level of knowledge - far better that i stay in my lane ! After all you wouldn't want your GP coaching you at boxing ! LOL
I've done this without a wrap and with this technique and still a lot of pain after a long session, is this just natural from punching
Dillon yes - after a long session it is normal , it’s one of the things us boxers have to put up with . A trick I used to do was immediately after each session put your hands in a bucket of ice and water for 15 mins . It helps a little .
@@Boxercise still reply after e years daym, anyway thanks I'll try the ice tomorrow
@@dillonmcculley8224 of course dude ! 3 years or not. I'm a boxing coach and want to help boxers and coaches. It's literally my full time job coaching coaches . I just hope the ice bucket helps you. It's quite common that heavy hitters get this problem.
My middle knuckle is still sore after 2 weeks. I punched a TV cause I was pissed and I don't know what to do please help
LOL sorry i don't have a solution for you
buy a new tv
My middle knuckle is naturally very prominent/pointy when I make a fist, so when I'm boxing it will often swell and bruise. I don't use gloves because I don't really like to, but I always wrap my hands properly. So I was wondering if you knew something that would help prevent me hurting my knuckles that hopefully didn't mean I have to wear gloves?
Not really I’m afraid . If you do hit hard and you don’t wear gloves the likelihood of hand injury is higher - not much that you can really do about that . Perhaps wear gloves occasionally just to ‘rest’ the knuckles. ?
It’s quite common for martial artists to not use gloves - they call it ‘hand conditioning ‘ it’s a valid technique but just not practised in boxing very much .
i punched makiwara now i feel light pain in middle knuckle if I wait will it stop?
if it's injured get ice on it and rest it until it's better ( may take 6 weeks)
thanks
are it be batter now ?
I ate at a food truck yesterday and when I finished the owner asked me...
any tips?
I hurt my knuckle months ago like this. It's not getting better. What do I do?
go and see a doctor to get it diagnosed - it's not possible to dignose via a thread on YT . Meantime get an ice cube and rub it in to the knuckle 3 times a day . But definitely ask your doctor
@@Boxercise thank you. And keep the videos coming. I wish i saw this before I did the damage
How is your Knuckle now??
@@Boxercise thank you!
@@Darealdra completely fine. It does go blue and numb in the cold though. Which never used to happen.
lol, i punched a wall and my knuckle hurts really bad
haha yep that's gonna hurt !
i’m just boolin I hit metal pole with my gloves really hard and my middle knuckle hurts little and it’s little red and bigger probably swolen that’s why I’m now watching this type of videos so don’t make my mistakes and wrap your hand carefully 👍💪🏻
