Is there anyway to train yourself to make your bones for example your knuckes harder and stronger?

My old MMA teacher used to soak his knuckles in vinegar. crazy stuff. i guess it worked by killing his nerves.



I love it when a plan comes together.

Ghey. Just learn how to fight and be able to fight standing, do takedowns, and know ground fighting.

I used to do Knuckle push ups when I was younger to help deaden the nerves and be able to take more punishment in my hands...I've injured my hands before and it sucks, takes mad long to heal, but once they've healed they feel stronger.

I dont know what it is called, but there is a particular martial arts style that deals with bone thickening and strengthing, but I would imagine that it would take a long time to get to that point. There again, putting loads on bones helps them grow, but too much will still cause them to break. Good luck!

I remember reading that Ancient practicioners of martial arts would soak stones in milk then lightly stike the stones with their punching knucles. Over time this would condition the knucles to be harder and tougher.

I dont know about the stones in milk, but Im pretty sure the idea would stand for any hard surface you decided to regularly practice this technique on...a sand bag maybe.

Various forms of knuckle pushups and bagwork over time will help.

I would think any time you subject your bones to impact they would adapt by becoming stronger. I saw a documentary a long time ago on some martial arts style practiced by monks where they would headbutt each other repeatedly to strengthen their skulls.

First off, you don't take a martial art to get good at fightining at school.


Now if it's self defense, that is a different story.


Secondly, it takes at least 2-3 years to get decent. And might I recommend Brazilian Jiu Jits.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is all about ground grappling isnt it? doubt it would be much use in a standard fight...maybe in the ufc!

You will not develop arthritis from cracking your knuckles, or should I say there is no reliable information to prove that. It can, however, weaken your grip strength over very long periods of time.

Yes, you can make bones bigger, and you can increase mineral density within the bone. It's called bone remodeling. Bones will actually change shape to deal with the stressors placed on them. Interstitial growth will take place if sufficient tension or pressure is placed on the bone a la Wolff's law. This isn't to say that you are going to get knuckles the length of Wolverine's claws, but you can certainly make them a little larger and tougher.

martial arts is a way of life, and an art not competitive in nature at all.
It is about perfection and understanding. it requires a very small ego i think.
However if you are worried about your ability to physically defend yourself, it could not hurt to look into some take down techniques.

All fights pretty much ultimately end up on the ground. Guys who start out wanting to slug each other end up tieing up and grappling. from there someone will gain advantage on the bottom.

and if your worried about being able to hurt a guy with your strikes...on the face aim for the temples, the tip of the nose or under the nose, and jaw.
go for the solar plexus on the body...accuracy helps especially against someone who can over power you.

I'm assuming you are in a position where you will need to defend yourself. Of course there is much more to know about this subject, but these tips can not hurt. I hope your reasons are justified

Good post.
However, I doubt he wanted to know, to defend himself, rather to pick fights
or sound cool

100% correct, which is why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a good choice because it addresses ground grappling, and take downs. It even has stand-up.

dont worry about breaking ur knuckles, nothing will hurt in a fight.
just a few hours later they will hurt
i broke my middle knuckle on my right hand and it is bigger/rounder than my left one. but it still hurts just as much.
