Correct. You may only go up against someone with a glass jaw so it doesn't matter, but anywhere you try to hit me with a closed fist you will only hurt yourself. Unless you manage to strike me in the throat or somewhere equally vulnerable, in which case you'd damn well better be striking in a way that does a lot more damage than a closed fist.
You never know what you're running into, and even if your opponent has no experience they may find out their jaw is built like a tank at your expense.
There are other ways to strike that increase the damage to your target and decrease the potential damage to you. Hopefully you never need it but I'm certainly not counting on a peaceful resolution to any of this!
I hope you're not seriously walking around with this mentality. Unless you're 8 feet tall with a ten inch thick layer of muscle and skin over your entire body...
And I'm not going to go into it, but I don't need any fighting tips from a guy on the internet.
A punch is a punch. Like anything it's either effective in that situation or it's not. Advising people to completely abandon one of the most basic forms of self defense is a little bit strange to say the least.
Let me guess, you don't get drunk either. And drugs don't get you high. And you're not full after eating a pound of meat and you don't get tired at the gym.
To quote Joe, "Come on, man." There's confidence and then there's pathological bragging. This sounds like it's turning into the latter.
Lol always the girls with the fist with their thumb on the outside over their index...where it would break if they tried to punch anything
Don't punch with a closed fist anyway. John Wayne movies are great in their place, but if we have to fight we want to win.
Don't punch with a closed fist?
