I do kyokushin, and I avoid bulky bags or wristwraps. I like to strenghten my wrists by punching hard without support. All that is working fine and has for years.
The only reason i wear some bag gloves (not boxing gloves) is to avoid ripping the skin of the knuckels. I don't think it's the skin i want to strenghten, it's by wrists and hand strength. But the problem i have is that as i punch hard, the gloves which as skin, has friction to the knuckels inside the gloves.
I tried boxing gloves, and i tried boxing wraps but I don't like them. I like to be are bare as possible. So the compromise is thta i have put some kinesology tape ontop of my knuckles, under the gloves. This actually doe the trick - but after one hour of sweat and heavy punhcing, the loosen even fall out of the fingers! Last time I was wondering who lost tape in room, but it was me, and and after the training both my punching knuckles on both hands where bleeding and the tape was off. And during sparring, this tends to get going again and i get blood all over everyone.
So do you guys have any better tricks?
I have these type of gloves, which are the thinnest i have found that I like. I tried also several models of mma and tkd gloves buy they dont fit nice.
And I tape the knuckles, NOT hard for support, just to cover the top of hte knuckle skin. But after 30 mins it detaches. Any better ideas? I think the problem is i punch hard, maybe harder that i have to. But I like the kind of training, but the knuckle skin goes. I am considering perhaps taping around, instead of ontop and see if it helps. I do not wrap the hands, I just put one stripe litteraly ontop of the knuckles. not on the inside of hte hand.
It also occured to me that the gloves shoulgh the tighter? right now they are a bit loose.. so my hands has some wiggle room inside - is that the problem?
