Hand Conditioning

[MJS]

AS suggested in another thread I would like to know:

1. do you do hand conditioning
2. do you use a lineament to harden the hands or improve blood flow
3. what dose your hand conditioning consist of ( wooden dummy, sand (( heated or not)), knuckle/finger pushups, etc.
4 How often do you do an intensive hand conditioning work out

We'll do knuckle push ups in class. It's optional, but there are small pieces of wood available for those that choose to do the push ups on that. Some times when we do bag work, we won't wear gloves. Of course, this tears up your hands even more, but that's the price for the conditioning. LOL.

My teacher is very old school, so when he was training in Japan, obviously the conditioning of both the hands and shins was much more intense. He's more than willing to show anyone how to do it properly, if that's what they want, but it's nothing he requires.

I use the Makiwara and I hit a Cinder block wall. I take calcium supplements as well. I doubt it does anything but it makes me feel better

Note: people in different countries have different rules/laws and also different things are allowed in interrogations BUT that is for a different thread not this one

NOW back to the discussion on hand conditioning please.

One thing I would like, how do you get rid of fluid on a knuckle, more than that, also looks ad if the right hand, third going to the right, is displaced?

duct tape fixes everything

Big needle, urgh. Anyway in the past, it would go. Duct tape got it. Take it you cut strips though?

I have no idea if the calcium does anything I broke my hand once and my doc told me to take it so I did. I just kept taking it

He would have given it for calcium stripping no doubt, but then maybe not. Basically you can lose calcium from your bones, in one way I know at least. Perhaps in you're case help the healing.

When I was younger I hit the Makiwara 100 times a day. A pine tree and an oak where used for gripping and clawing. I used sand to strike with fingers, back hand,and each joint of my fingers and knife hand. There was and still is a piece of granite beside my chair which I take out while watching television once in a while and strike.
I have used dit dat jow but ran out of the good stuff long ago and have lost the recipe for it.
My instructor made me stop at one time because I stupidly punchded the makiwara to much and not only drew blood but exposed the bone. Yep I was an idiot.

my hand conditioning as far as toughness of the hand is primarily using the wall bag. It does more than enough for what I need.
The bulk of my hand conditioning actually comes in the form of forearm conditioning.
I would use Dit da jow if I had some, but I've ran out so I'm using a Thai liniment that I have bulk of. Helps me in the recovery process. I do it about 2-3x per week.
