Whenever I hit the bag for the first time after a layoff, I tend to rip the skin off my knuckles. Shit burns and takes a while to heal.
This last time, I wrapped them and used mma gloves, but one knuckle was exposed and the skin got ripped again.
Should I let it heal before trying again? otherwise the skin will tear again?
and does the skin ever get toughened up until this does not happen? I tend to try and then quit so I don't know whether my skin is just thin or something.
Because how come those oldschool karateka punch trees, rocks, and makiwara boards to toughen the hands without ripping their hands, and thai boxers who do bare knuckles?
I'd imagine the skin would toughen up at some point, will it?
