Guess I could still work with AutoCAD for drawing architecture plans, but I’m good at the sketching thing and braking a hand is a bit of a concern. <br />I broke several fingers on my left hand when playing Rubgy at school when I was younger, but hands are not something I’d want to mess with.<br />Guess you have to find a middle ground between safety and realistic fighting skills and training. Not always easy.<br />Punching correctly helps a lot. Hammering with the first as taught in many systems, including KM= very bad idea.<br /> I’m not much of a fan these days of hardening the knuckles punching a makiguara, but I did that for years as well.<br />All I can say is that today I take care of my hands and wrists as well as I can, but still try to keep H2H fighting as real as possible.<br /><br /><br />FerFALFerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-81732496766651938312009-07-30T15:30:46.317-07:002009-07-30T15:30:46.317-07:00FerFal, I'm not sure about this post.

Half of them were shot, the others were killed by cars or Molatov cocktails. <br />If you were a (smart) surgeon you would not participate in these brawls, because you can't risk injuring your hands. Why risk injuring your hands, or eyes that you might need in order to use your Glock?<br />Why wear gloves? To protect yourself from boxer's fracture. If you are on the street and punch someone in the head, as you have been training, but without padding, you will break your hand, and you can't hold your pistol correctly, if at all.<br />M.A. or M.M.A. is fun, and one can learn an indefinite amount from them, but you can't tap out a .45 JHP.<br />One example I know of is when I had a Cajun repo man working for me. He was a tough guy, Sheriff deputy. One time when his arm was broken, and in a cast, he beat this guy with one hand in a fight. The Cajun's wife got angry one night and shot him in the the back and through the heart with a .357, killing him.<br /><br />Anyway, train smart!<br />DaShuiDaShuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731696293751625845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-31859711437356837812009-07-29T18:18:08.358-07:002009-07-29T18:18:08.358-07:00Ferfal,

Tasting your own blood for the first time during training opens up a whole new world.<br /><br />Take Care,<br /><br />CliffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
