Re: bruised knuckles
Try to keep your elbows down for as long as possible while you are throwing your punch. I had the same problem when I first started and it was because I was trying to punch too hard. Remember to push with the back leg with every strike and turn your body. This will help you not lean in to the punch and put all your weight on your front leg.
Try to relax and punch fast and explosively. Don’t try to punch hard when you’re first starting out, because you’ll just be practicing bad habits. Power comes from proper technique, speed and explosivenes.
I’m going a little deep here, but to make a long story short. Just try to keep your elbows down, try to hit with the first two knuckles by not turning your punch over like some of the more experienced people may do. You can try punching with your knuckles lined up vertically (like if you were holding a mug), or at a slight 45 degree angle.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I’ve been teaching for about 2 and a half years.
