Using the Heavy Bag|What to Wear?

[Kensh0]

Hey guys I was hoping someone could possible assist me with a boxing related question. By trade I am a Judoka moving into Krav Maga shortly and I plan to make use of a heavy bag a few times a week to work on my striking game. What do you suggest for gloves, I assume bag gloves are for this purpose, should I wear hand wraps under them or can I use handwraps alone. Also, what do you think of just using a NHB type glove for using the heavybag, the one's for striking and grappling.

Any thoughts?

All Pro Boxers use both wraps and bag gloves. Punching is not the best way to strike, and puts your wrists under serious strain. If I were punching a heavy bag regularly, I would copy the pros.

I would also get a bit of instruction on how to actually punch before you start pounding the bag. It helps to get your technique correct, as this can help minimise injuries.

Personnaly, For Heavy Bag, Speed Bag, Mitt, i always train with Ouano Glove "UFC" Official glove + 150inch Wrist Wrap. Never train heavy bag without Gloves, you can affect your Wrist and create serious problem.
Use Wrap + Gloves. U can use just Wrap, But Strike with low/moderate power.

Good luck in your training.
