🧵 Brittle hands

I've been boxing for a month and after hitting the beavy bag for a few rounds I ALWAYS have sore hands and forearms, and the pain lasts for days. I have an office job so a hand injury is not something I want. Will it go away or should I go for a grappling art instead?

Is it muscle soreness or actual "bad pain"?
If it's the former, just exercise your forearms.
If it's the latter, slow down for a while, make sure you're not getting injured and slowly build to the point that you can punch comfortably

if you've never punched anything for an extended period that's normal

Grappling with a gi is way worse for your hands.

Are you wrapping your hands and using proper gloves? If yes just take it slow and see how it goes. You need to assess if it's just muscle/tendon/bone weakness or if you are fucking yourself with poor technique.
