    Good point! I forgot about that. Almost every untrained person wants to curve their punches and connect with the third and fourth knuckles instead of the first and second. One of the easiest ways to break a bone in your hand.

      Yeah… People just don’t know how easy it is to break a bone in your hands. Skulls are made up so much harder and more dense bones than your metacarpals.

      There’s a reason even people with years of conditioning as boxers or mma fighters still wear gloves and protective hand wraps, and it isn’t to protect their opponents’faces.
