kickboxing

[Deleted User]

Kickboxing has been an amazing workout but my knuckles, between my fingers, and my palms have calluses now from my gloves and wraps.  It literally looks like I have been in a fight.  I won't stop kickboxing for this reason but it's going to look pretty ridiculous in my pictures if this doesn't go away.  Any thoughts on how to prevent this or treat the calluses?

Thanks

I would say you definitely aren't wrapping your hands correctly, OR are using the wrong gloves.  If you are using gloves, are you wrapping underneath as well?

I trained in karate for a long time and definteily had red/cut knuckles for a whle there.  But we also sometimes hit barehanded.

I've been boxing with my personal trainer, and I noticed that the boxing gloves are too big and i wind up with red knuckles at the end of about 10 minutes. 

I've told him that I have to stop with the boxing about 3 weeks before the wedding, just so i dont cut them or anything.
