Better yet,how many fights have you seen were people don’t close their fists??? If your hand is open…you’ll be better off using an open hand strike or elbows.
How about, every boxing match? Do you think boxers, hold their fists as tight as they possibly can in their gloves? And those dudes, can’t grapple, can’t go for arm control or small joint manipulation. I have no idea, why anyone is arguing for hold you fist fully tight and walk around like that, that makes no sense.
I think you’re deeply mislead John Wayne. And you’re frat fights, where you guys have 5 year old girly punch matches where you stand in front of eachother and trade licks will easily crumble against someone who knows what their doing and doesn’t go for the old club hand technique you seem to espouse so much.[/quote]
Look here…any idiot knows that you can’t make a complete fist in a boxing glove. No one…including myself…is saying to walk around with a CLENCHED fist trying to pop your eyes out of ya skull. I simply argued that when you’re actually in a fight…not before…but IN…most people will make a closed fist. FOLLOW ME: not a TIGHTLY clenched fist,but a CLOSED fist. See the difference. That was my only argument other than the mental aspect I mentioned. I understand the premise of keeping a RELAXED fist until you actually strike. Hell,that goes for any strike. Anybody knows you will fuck yourself if you’re all tensed up in any confrontation.
You took the John Wayne approach my friend…by jumping the gun and assuming you know me. So get back at me when you’ve studied instructed Combat Hapkido for 10 years,worked maximum security in a prison, and currently have abused shins from 2 hour Muay Thai sessions 4 times a week. Then maybe we MIGHT have something to talk about. I’m cool if ya get to know me. Until then…fuck off. This is not Sherdog. ![]()
