I've been boxing for a month and after hitting the beavy bag for a few rounds I ALWAYS have sore hands and forearms, and the pain lasts for days. I have an office job so a hand injury is not something I want. Will it go away or should I go for a grappling art instead?

Is it muscle soreness or actual "bad pain"?
If it's the former, just exercise your forearms.
If it's the latter, slow down for a while, make sure you're not getting injured and slowly build to the point that you can punch comfortably

if you've never punched anything for an extended period that's normal

Grappling with a gi is way worse for your hands.

Are you wrapping your hands and using proper gloves? If yes just take it slow and see how it goes. You need to assess if it's just muscle/tendon/bone weakness or if you are fucking yourself with poor technique.

Thank God I grew up with a father so I didn't turn into a little pussy ass bitch like OP

Are you wrapping your hands properly? I was getting sore hands after training at one point. I found that taking a little longer to wrap them properly made a huge difference and the pain went away shortly after.

Get a tennis ball. Cut a slot into it. Fill it with low value small coins. Tape it over with duct tape or metal tape.
Throw that ball and catch it, snatch it out of the air. Swith hands and get faster.
This will train many things and one of them is hand bones/flesh.

Also: wrap a bag of rice in tape and hit it gently with your fist, palms every day.

If your hands are really bad, get some hand linement for iron palm training and soothe them with that. You should anyway for doing the above harder.

>grappling art instead
what did he mean by this?
>>
Have a chat with your coach about it. Show them how you're wrapping your hands and see if they have any input on your method and if they have any improvements to offer. Look at tutorials on YouTube for hand wrapping and see if someone is offering a better alternative.
t. Guy who used to get sore hands that stopped immediately after wrapping my hands better.
