          Once you get good at punching you will easily frick up your hand by punching with full strength. Mostly it's the tendons in the knuckles you need to worry about, but also the bones. You need wraps to keep the bones from breaking and gloves to protect the knuckles.

          If you don't punch with full force you're fine. Make sure you punch with your pointer and middle knuckles as they aren't likely to cause injury, if you frick up and hit with your ring/pinky you'll break your hand... so yeah. Get gloves. Your pointer and middle finger bones are connected with far larger bones.

        16oz too big for bagwork it doesn't feel right. 12oz is perfect.

        16 oz is for sparring.
        Amateur boxers fight in 10 oz gloves, unless heavyweight, then they use 12 oz.
        12 oz gloves are more than enough for bagwork.

      wraps are more important than gloves, they make your fist more compact and prevent inner injuries. Also get the gloves, 14oz or 16oz if you want a shoulder and endurance workout.

      For the love of God anon disregard the shit advice you're getting. Buy wraps and gloves. You can frick your shit up hitting a heavy bag if you have any strength.
      As for hanging the bag, don't use those metal stands. You will not be able to move around the bag to use it effectively. I use a chain around a beam in my basement ceiling. It works great and saves drilling holes. You can wrap the chain in rubber hose to protect the beam as well.
      This all assumes you are interested in actually boxing training, not just punching a bag like a gay.

      don't listen to these morons, you need hand wraps AND gloves if you actually want to get serious about it
      people need to stop trying to pretend they're some kind of anime character with arms covered in bandages
      wraps+gloves makes sure impact is properly distributed and dissipated, since once you have proper technique you WILL be punching hard enough to break your hand with only wraps

      >Punching with your shoulders instead of everything between your hips and your fingers

      As others have said, use wraps and gloves, always. The wraps distribute the blow so you don't break your hand (yes really) and the gloves keep you from skinning yourself.

      Get a bag that's on the heavier side (<100lbs) if you can as well as wraps and 16oz gloves then punch that shit for at least half an hour a day
      I use mine for shin conditioning too, only 2 months later and it takes me like 20 full on roundhouse kicks to start feeling discomfort instead of like 2 when I started

      https://i.imgur.com/1n1pO3g.gif

      What are your favorite kicks, bros? For me, it’s:
      >Back Kick
      >Question Mark Kick/Brazilian Kick
      >Spinning Wheel/Hook Kick
      >Side Kick

      For me it's the back kick
      No swing or momentum required
      Fairly hard to do very quickly or on reaction but boy does it hurt
      I also like the roundhouse feint into superman punch a lot

      Wraps protect your hands. Gloves protect what you are hitting.

      If you hit a bag without glove bags you could tear the bag. You don't need actual fight gloves for bag work since they just have lots of extra padding compared to glove bags because they are designed to prevent a human face from getting cut open or having serious surface wounds.

      Modern gloves were actually introduced because boxing used to be an incredibly bloody affair. Lawmakers were threatening to ban boxing as a bloodsport, so gloves were introduced to prevent blood erupting everywhere.

        I don't get why "form" is important for kicks, like what is there even to frick up about form (apart from the point of impact, like fists)? I'd just kick in a way that's comfortable. Is that wrong?

      You can easily break your foot kicking a bag. Remember to hit with your shin, like a bat, not your foot.

    yeah it does a little bit but it's the weight of the gloves + keeping your hands up all the time are the ones that'll develop your delts.
    learn how to properly wrap your hands and buy a decent pair of gloves. go for 16oz if you really want big delts.

      The mid tier Title gloves for like $50 are pretty great. Any wraps are usually fine just make sure they're the right length. I see a lot of people wear the Venum gloves at the gym and I think they're like $70, but the leather looks cheap. Don't know if that matters, but those are the two I see the most.

    Please dont use 16oz gloves on a bag anons. You may think it gives strength gains like an anime character training in super heavy clothes but no. Hitting a bag in 16oz gloves is really awkward and doesn't feel right.

    Can you leave one of these outside (covered in a tarp, of course), in a standard temperate climate?
    Or do I have to fear cold weather will cause cracks in it? I assume for the winter, I would take it inside, but there's still cold weather during fall/spring.

      Idk about the cold, but my dad drilled one into the ceiling of his garage a few years back and it's doing ok even with the Texas heat. Definitely keep it out of the rain and direct sun, though.
