Feeling in your hands
Sat, 2007-07-07 20:49
I was reading on Muay Thai a while back and I read Muay Thai boxer's kick bannana tree's thousands of times a day to kill any kind of feeling in there legs. So they can kick a opponent with no worries, I have been punching Brick walls and Cement floors for the same outcome. I was wondering if I should keep doing this or if working on heavy bags do the same thing? I know you can break bones and/or really hurt yourself, I dont hit to hard to break a finger or chip my knuckle but I do it hard enough for a little sting

Yeah...Probably not the best idea. You really (overall) probably want to retain some feeling in your hands. Killing nerves in something as useful (and necessary) as your hands isn't...good.
In different martial arts, not just Muay Thai, there are hand/bone strengthening excercises. Really, in regards to the fist, you just want to make it harder/denser, not necessarily numb. Even by hitting a heavy-bag with just wraps on your hands, you will probably put
punching brick walls and things could be kind of silly...if you break a knuckle (Which can happen easier than you think if you are just starting boxing) then you will be out for weeks or maybe months.
One thing i reccomend is buying is something...which i dont know the name of haha......they are in all quality sports shops.......they are fings that u hold in your palms and sqeeze....if you do that every day you will notice your hands will become bigger and stronger etc.
hope that helps and makes sence lol
