Advice for hard punching with minimal padding, and still avoid ripping knuckle skin?​

That's an injury that can be easily avoided with tape, wraps, and when necessary gloves.

You can do it that way.
You can also do it without tape, wraps, and gloves. It’s just a different approach and likely has different goals in mind. So yes, it is different.

Some feedback on the original issue i had

Not nearly as fun as the current issues.

did some uppercuts at angle, that i think was the culprit, vill avoid them.

I agree this is a likely suspect. A boxing style uppercut usually has an arcing motion, so the knuckles hit on an oblique angle rather than straight on (as there is no chin or ribcage on the bag to allow this (being cylindrical), causing a scraping contact. My karate uppercut is straight, but due to the shape of the bag is subject to the same problem, especially bare handed on canvas. When working a lot on various angles on the heavy bag I did slip on my Everlast leather bag gloves.

P.S. I took them off for the makiwara. Bleeding is macho as someone here hinted at.
