🧵 Punching

Is it normal that punching while wearing boxing gloves feels extremely awkward for me? If I punch a bag full force while wearing boxing gloves, sometimes I "fuck up the angle" and my fist "slides" at an angle and I hurt my wrist, as it bends. However, if I go bare knuckle/just wraps, this angle issue does not manifest, ever. I can feel the shock going into my metacarpals and my wrist, usually in a beautiful and satisfying angle, and my wrist doesn't bend and certainly doesn't hurt as much. Is this because I used boxing gloves that are "too round"? Would this issue stop were I to use more "square" or "cubic" gloves, or am I basically saying retarded shit at this point and I just need to learn proper technique?

you might not be rotating your hand enough on the extension. On a standard cross you want your shoulder to come to your cheek and a good rotation into a square delivery is indicative of that.

If you want to learn real punching, don't use gloves.

This. You need to rotate the hand right before impact. Also wear hand wraps. I needed to in the beginning. But overall your form is lacking and needs improvement. Wear the wraps until You've stopped hurting your wrist and then keep wearing them.
