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?

>>217637Is 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
>>217637if you've never punched anything for an extended period that's normal
Grappling with a gi is way worse for your hands.
>>217637Are 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.
