But providing protection weakens your wrist and exposes you to injury in a real fight. If you want to fight without gloves, you have to condition your wrists, hands, and knuckles to make them strong. A protected hand is a weak hand. Boxing is a great sport. But there is a difference between a sport and a real street fight where you obviously can't put on gloves. I am just saying that in this instance, Karate is a more realistic self defense because it trains people how to fight without any artificial protection. A traditional Japanese karate punch is powerful because the Karate punch uses the whole body. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_wraps[/URL] [/QUOTE]
