-- Posted by ElephantStone at 11:04 am on June 24, 2008 When I hit my punch bag recently, I end up hurting my left wrist, even after the first punch from the left hand. I gave boxing a break for 2 weeks and I hit the punch bag again today and hurt my wrist on the first punch. This never happened before, but it must be something with my technique. I jab witht he right and hook with the left. And my right takes it just fine and its hitting the punch bag 2 or 3 times more than my left. When Im throwing a hook I have my right foot forward and I shift my weight onto my right foor and twist my hips as it hrow the punch. Which as far as I know is the technique. So why is it hurting my wrist? -- Posted by Bobster the Lobster at 11:05 am on June 24, 2008 you may have broken or fractured something buddy.  Go get it checked out. -- Posted by 3eyes at 11:06 am on June 24, 2008 ask the head of your boxing thing if you really hurt your wrist you should not use it until it fully heels cause u cant box one handed ;) -- Posted by jake619 at 11:12 am on June 24, 2008 im a boxer and i have bust up my hand -- Posted by sile at 11:12 am on June 24, 2008 It sounds like you've weakened your wrists by the way your throwing hook punches it's a common problem for boxers, my wrists are fucked from karate. It's most likely the way your wrist is bent when you punch the bag. I really don't know how to explain it clearly in writing, but i'll try. Basically when you punch the bag a lot of people make the mistake of kind of bending there wrist a little this is particularly the case when your punching hand pads cause you punch through and end up glancing it rather than making solid contact. Next time you punch the bag watch what shape your wrist makes when making contact, when it's bent your constantly weakening it. -- Posted by emily92 at 11:20 am on June 24, 2008 you can get wrist supports from sport shops. also you should go to your Doctor and he can see if you have fracture it etc. -- Posted by robdude at 11:24 am on June 24, 2008 practice with more upercuts -- Posted by Pebbles123 at 11:25 am on June 24, 2008 Maybe you've just weekend the left wrist. Maybe you just need to leave it a little longer than 2weeks, and then start up again..hmm. I'm not sure though, i know fuck all about this stuff.
